Happy Winter Solstice, everyone!
Better known as Dong Zhi (冬至) here in Singapore, this festival is widely celebrated by Chinese everywhere.
“冬大过年”，Mum would say.
In fact, the significance behind Dong Zhi is much more important than the Lunar New Year but people nowadays do not bother with traditions and customs anymore.

With effect from Sunday, 16 December 2012, Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange will cease to serve the residents of Bukit Panjang.
Existing bus services will be re-routed and call at additional bus stops.
The closure is to make way for a new air-conditioned bus interchange that will be ready in 2015.
As I was meeting someone at the nearby Bukit Panjang Plaza today, I thought I would take some photos of the interchange for memories sake and it seems that I wasn't the only one toying with that idea as I spotted several others doing the same.
There would be a total of 11 bus services affected.

Thye Hong Hokkien Mee
Fried Hokkien Mee (or simply Fried Prawn Noodles), is a popular local dish well-liked by many Singaporeans and tourists alike.
With a mixture of thick rice noodles and yellow egg noodles, this noodle dish is first fried over a high flame then stewed in a savory broth till the sauce seep into the noodles.
Throw in some prawns and bits of squid then dish it on a plate (preferably with a Opeh leaf in between) with some sambal and a lime by the side and there you have it, a scrumptious serving of Fried Hokkien Mee.

I was at Orchard Road last Friday night (07 December 2012) taking photos of the Christmas decorations when I came across this accident.
This black car was flipped on it's back outside ION across the road from CK Tangs. By then, a patrol car was already at the scene with the police directing the traffic.
The Manhattan Pizza Co. which is famed for it's XXXL pizzas in NYC has found it's way to our shores here in Singapore.
Thanks to Daniel, I had won myself a e-voucher to redeem a free 20" pizza.

As usual, I always procrastinated till the very last day of the voucher's validity before I actually made my way down to Orchard Central where the pizzeria is situated.
The place was surprisingly empty when I arrived there on a weekday afternoon. It is located at basement 1 beside Gong-Cha, where MOS Burger used to be.
