EA Detailer – Not Just Any Ordinary Car Grooming
Roaches!!!??? First, I have to say that we don’t eat in our car and we forbade our kids to do it too.

So,imagine my shock when early in the session with EA Detailer, I saw with my very own eyes small roaches crawling INSIDE my car cabin during fumigation! When the fumigation session ended, I … [Read more...]

Reflections from Bangkok Airplane Graveyard
This was originally intended as a plain (pun unintended) travel post but two things have changed it. First, the actual visit to this Airplane Graveyard itself. This is not a commercial tourist attraction.

It is obvious that whatever was the plan for this had not quite … [Read more...]

Aye Aye Captain Oats! Healthy Living with Oats
When the trend of overnight oats hit Singapore last year, I joined a FB group dedicated to it and started learning how to prepare overnight oats for breakfast. It was simple, tasty and most importantly, a small step towards healthy change in our choice of breakfast food. My then 7 year old daughter and I have since been hooked on oats but little did I know what a superfood it is and the many health benefits they bring. We were introduced to Captain Oats recently. Captain Oats uses only … [Read more...]
