We happened to be reading this book – Super Structures – and it happened to be the last few days of the Brickman Wonders of the World Lego Brick Exhibition at the Singapore Science Centre. So on the spur of the moment, I took Little P to see some super structures in 3d, albeit Lego-fied.
We booked ourselves an overnight staycation at Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa with our two-year-old. There was going to be minor renovation works at home. So a staycation would make things more fun until the dust at home settled… Haha.
When I told Little P we were doing a staycation, which meant we would not be sleeping at home. Little P’s first question was, “那里有没有冷气？” (Is there air conditioning where we are staying at?) Little P’s priorities are so different from mine. Haha.
Anyway here is the first view of our lovely suite… with text all over it to mar the view like those China overlay-comment videos. 🤭
For a change of pace, we headed off to Geylang for a walk. Primarily along Tanjong Katong Road to be exact to check out the Brilliant Corners: The City is Blooming Art Trail there. This art trail is part of the Arts in your Neighbourhood November 2020 programme.
MUSIC ACCOMPANIMENT: The Brilliant Corners playlist on Spotify features tracks for walking around in Geylang. According to the website, these were on heavy rotation during the creation of brilliant corners. Click here to listen while you scroll through this post!

It’s been quite a long time since we last took Donna to the dog run.
This time Little P gets to join her on this outing!
The upcoming Singapore Pet Expo 2018 has some dog and art-related activities that can be enriching for you and your outgoing dog!
Our pet dogs are smart. There’s no denying it. That’s why staying at home all day, while the humans are at work can get boring for them. Enrichment activities are a great way to mentally challenge your dog and keep him busy and happy.
Enrichment is NOT about making it harder!
Enrichment IS about enjoying your pet’s joy!
Enrichment IS about making their life and yours more enjoyable!
– a thoughtful quote from Margaret Pender, Jan 18 post on Canine Enrichment facebook group admin
So let’s take a look at some of the activities that are in the Singapore Pet Expo program schedule!
Pasir Ris Park is a park that we’ve been to only about a handful of times. It actually didn’t leave an impression on me, but Mr. P tells me we visited on weekends when it was very busy. AND I was NOT impressed by the crowd.
I have to say now…
There’s quite a few dog-friendly cafes in Tiong Bahru. I have been exploring the parks with Donna somewhat near the Tiong Bahru area recently. So we’ve discovered more dog-friendly eating places in that area thanks to friends on Instagram! (Find me @weliveinaflat!)
Guess which dog-friendly cafe in Tiong Bahru I am at!!
In this post, I’m featuring the two that I visited recently. But I will include more suggestions I’ve got from friends so you actually will have more options to consider than just two. ;)
Our food rating: 🍗🍗🍗
We happened to be in Punggol and decided to check out the dinner scene at the Punggol Tebing Lane Container Park. There are a reported 7 container cafes there. But at the time of visit – around 5.30pm on Sunday – some were not ready for business yet.
We decided to try out Big Fish Small Fish which is located in the middle of the row of container cafes.
Address: 50 Punggol East #01-K35 Singapore 828826
Opening hours: Sunday to Thursday 12pm – 12am; Friday, Saturday and Eve of Public Holiday 12pm – 1am

Since dogs are usually not allowed in air-conditioned malls, we grabbed the chance to visit i12 Katong Mall with Donna for the three days it was dog-friendly over the weekend of the Paw Fest 2017 event.
I actually almost didn’t go because it was not clear to me what program they have planned at what time on which day. And also because I already had a busy weekend.
However, I was tempted to go mainly after seeing photos posted by others. HAHA.
The following photos were the results.
We were there mainly for the opportunity to photograph Donna with the Halloween set-up at i12 Katong Mall’s Paw Fest.
Can we bring these boney dogs home please?
