Local Delight (Herbal Egg)











Being a foreigner in this island, i find this weird. A soup from pigs organ? Is it so rude to ask what organ is it? Until now, i don't know from which organ this soup is, neither have i tried it.

Another food is the so called "Herbal Egg??". Egg to be herbal? Oh well, I figured that this could have been boiled with different herbs where Chinese is also very much known. They say that this "herbal egg" is good for blood circulation. Chinese do eat it and they're fine, then its not bad at all to try one... For blood circulation!!!

An Ordinary Beach

Is there something you can call ordinary beach? Would you appreciate if it isn't a white fine sand?

Here's a beach located in Zambales. A beach where you can see fishermen in the very early morning. You will rarely see people around aside from Holy week. But as for my family, we do our bonding here where the kids truly enjoy, playing with the big waves I can't conquer. There are no cottages around so you have to create your own.

Black Pepper Crab


I have started to love all foods with black pepper since I have tried one of the best foods I consider here in Singapore - Black Pepper Crab. If you're a tourist and is looking for something to try, this is my best bet. I have only tried it so far at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant with several branches around the island. This serving costs around S$40. Chilli crab is another one to try in Singapore. About the same price.

Microform Bible


I got a chance to take a glimpse on this rare exhibition -The Dead Sea Scrolls that features archaeological findings regarding biblical period and physical proofs of God's Word.

It was amazing to see how does the Microform Bible looks like. Said to be the first Bible to the moon. Imagine, one sheet (1.5 x 1.5 inches) having all the 1245 pages of the King James Bible, whew!!! Its impressive how can a man think of ways on how to carry The Word.

Barring the need for microscope, I was thinking that this could be an option to places where Bible is prohibited. However, online price says thousands of dollar a copy. :(

Sack Race


The spirit of this traditional Filipino game is still on. Here in Singapore, even this Christian young professionals are still enjoying it. I remember playing this when I was still a kid and now (no, I don't have a kid yet) I'm such a grown up and in a different land, and yet this game is always an option.

Diwali

I joined a local Amazing Race in Singapore, one of the tasks is to have a photograph with a lady Indian in her complete national costume. They're celebrating their so called "Diwali" so it wasn't hard to look for one. Another factor is, we were in the Mustafa area - an Indian mall.

It's great to have such a game when all are Believers.

30 ft Wall Climbing


Test your endurance with this 30 ft high indoor Via Ferrata at Orchard, Singapore.
I intend to try but when I saw its towering height, I'm afraid that my asthma might attack me. I ended up cheering for my friends. They finished it two times in a row unscathed. Surprisingly, they have several bruises on their arms the next morning. (This is their first time).

Winter Christmas


Many people from tropical country wants to experience the feel of snow during Christmas season. Desperate of this weather, many are having their parties on a Winter theme just to have the feel of wearing the appropriate clothes for it.
But in essence, the real meaning of this Holiday or rather Holy Day is the birth of our Saviour. Our redeemer. We are celebrating this Holy Day because of our sins. Our sins.. And He was born..

Lechon



I may not be eating pork (personal preferences) but this is indeed one of the weakness of many Filipinos. An occasion is not complete with this Lechon served.

Boracay



You must have heard of this place maybe, but I wanted to show my shots taken from an ordinary Canon digicam. I would always love to visit Boracay whenever I would have chance.
