Our Marvel's Day


Yesterday was our Marvel's day.

We went to Art Science Museum for the Marvel Studios Exhibition : 10 Years of Heroes and watched Ant Man and The Wasp after dinner.

We're a little disappointed by this rather limited exhibition though ..... not even an hour inside.

Anyway, it was still a lovely day to be there.




The water lilies were in full bloom.




Dinner at Monster Curry, 313 Somerset.

The big plate of Monster set was for my boy. Mine was the one behind it.  See the difference?

No wonder the mummy is getting poorer and poorer. 真的吃窮他老母😂😭😭


Lastly, I wanna say that we really enjoyed the movie Ant Man and The Wasp.  So funny.

Earlier than usual

Kill The Father


First Kill The Angel and now Kill The Father by Sandrine Dozieri.  Absolutely thrilling.  Can't wait to read the next sequel though don't know when it will be out.

Here is the blurb.


When a woman is beheaded in a park outside Rome and her six-year-old son goes missing, the police unit assigned to the case sees an easy solution: they arrest the woman’s husband and await his confession.

But the Chief of Rome’s Major Crimes unit doubts things are so simple. Secretly, he lures to the case two of Italy’s top analytical minds: Deputy Captain Colomba Caselli, a fierce, warrior-like detective still reeling from having survived a bloody catastrophe, and Dante Torre, a man who spent his childhood trapped inside a concrete silo.

Fed through the gloved hand of a masked kidnapper who called himself “The Father,” Dante emerged from his ordeal with crippling claustrophobia but, also, with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and hyper-observant capacities.

All evidence suggests that the Father is back and active after being dormant for decades. Indeed, he has left tell-tale signs that signal he’s looking forward to a reunion with Dante. But when Columba and Dante begin following the ever-more-bizarre trail of clues, they grasp that what’s really going on is darker than they ever imagined.


With references likes  The Search for the "Manchurian Candidate", The CIA and Mind Control, The Secret History of the Behavioural Sciences and Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness,  one can more or less guess what is it about.

Werner's Nomenclature of Colours



A colourful and imaginative way to describe colours.  For example, Indigo Blue .... is composed of Berlin Blue, a little black, its a small portion of apple green.

Anyway, one has to know what exactly is Berlin Blue first.

Rain & Shine


I was greeted with such beautiful blue sky white clouds on last Thursday morning. Who would know that I was stuck the next day with another heavy downpour. Typical Singapore weather.




Balloons with the terra cotta statue near the office main door.  Kind of weird, yet couldn't say they were not matching.

Family Day Again!!!


#sorrynowifi #pleasetalktoeachother But my boy immediately responded: I got data what. 😅😅😅 moral of story : #youcantarguewithfacts


A family dinner at Five & 2 to
celebrate our mum's birthday.

The green curry (Gaeng Kiaw Wan) and Bulgogi Korean beef stew were fine, though the portions were a little small.  The pregnant fish was good.  Pity that the multi-grain rice was hard and dry. It definitely can be better.

Will come another day to try the Sarawak Chicken Curry as recommended.







Enjoyed a stroll after dinner around the park.
