I like this picture book, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon by James Norbury at Kinokuniya. It shares snippets of wisdom in this beautifully illustrated book. I went to kinokuniya bookstore at Ngee Ann City last Friday to read and buy some books and magazines. They have a wide variety of books which I love. I can spend hours browsing the latest books and magazines. So normally I go to bookstore alone as I can spend 3 to 5 hours reading the latest books and magazines. I hope bookstores will continue to have a presence in shopping malls. I still prefer real books and not electronic book.
Sharing good news with all singles! You can sign up for $100.00 sparks credit to offset up to 50% of course or events fees. Recently I received update that I have $100.00 credit Sparks Connection which allows singles to use the credits to participate in events to meet other singles too. I realised I didn't use the $100.00 spark credits for the past three years.
I think it's time to spice up my life and not stay at home on weekends during the November and December school holidays. I'm looking forward to participating in interesting events to meet new people in one of the activities. I find Art spinning and Barista skill workshops interesting. It's like the Skills Future credit but it's only for singles. I can use the sparks credits to offset the workshops costs. If you love to cycle, there are many cycling activities too.
Sadly for Barista skill workshop where you get to learn about coffee and coffee art, the maximum class size is only 4 people. 2 people from each gender. Anyway if I don't meet suitable guy, at least I learn something new about coffee. Think I better lose 7 kg before attending the workshop.

Are you interested to help to achieve the goal of planting one million trees over the next ten years in Singapore? I find this activity really meaningful and plan to plant a tree in mid or late November. It is one method to reduce climate change. I love nature as it helps me to recharge and it helps to reduce global warming.
Hey buddies if you plan to plant a tree too, watsapp me so we can participate this meaningful activity together. I will go only in November during the holidays.
To find out more information on upcoming tree-planting activities, you can visit NParks website here.
I love to eat crunchy tacos but find it expensive. I decided to try and cook tacos at home and I think it turned out great. Great if there are avocado, egg and cheese.
As usual after work, I went to Gardens by the Bay Flower dome to see the blooming tulips after last week launch of Tulipmania. Happy to see last week bulbs bloom yesterday. Enjoy the following photos of ravishing tulips of different varieties!

I like to sing this song whenever I go to karaoke with my buddy and cousins. It's not so challenging to sing with those high notes. I miss singing at karaoke with my buddy who can sing very well and with my cousins.
I love today beautiful fluffy clouds. This morning, the clouds are like soft fluffy cotton and this afternoon the clouds are much crisper and brighter with bright shining sun up in the sky. What a beautiful day today!
Soft fluffy clouds up in the sky this morning at Ang Mo Kio.
Hot blazing sun hidden behind the clouds this afternoon.

I plan to travel to Italy next year. If my friend can't travel with me, I might just travel with tour agency like CTC travel or Chan brothers. I just want to go to Italy to explore the art and design museums and eat yummy pasta, pizza, gelato, dessert and coffee. Maybe I go for 1 or 2 weeks tour which include both Italy and Switzerland. Time to learn some Italian.
