    • Clarke Quay

      Posted at 10:19 pm by witsandnuts, on November 2, 2010

      This is especially written for those who asked how we were housed during our Singapore visit and for friends who will be in the Lion City soon.

      To stay within Clarke Quay was a case of liking it even before knowing it fully. Its monotony and colors, history and modernity, quietness and loudness, and the rest of its contradictory points charmed me. For a moment I even dubbed it as two-faced, which has nothing to do with the personality of second Governor of Singapore, Sir Andrew Clarke, whom the area was named after.

    • What’s your ice cream?

      Turkish Ice Creamm Clark Quay, Singapore
      (An infamous turkish ice cream stall can be found in Clark Quay at night. The vendor has a very engaging way of selling the ice cream, armed by the chiming, regaling, and other funny antics regardless of the patrons. By the way, she did not really take home that huge serving and hairdress. Those were part of the marketing.)

      There must be an equation to everything. As I went into a no pork diet and fairly succeed in trimming my chocolate consumption, a new fancy was born. (Hey, don’t be deceived. I’m just preparing to pig out in December. But the nicest thing is the discovery that while it is indeed difficult to part from the delicious, it is not impossible at all.) In the past, I only got a zero to low desire for ice cream, but I am (unfortunately) now an eager eater.  I saw it coming since my addiction for that ice cream in Singapore.

      Singapore Night Safari

      Our first 12 hours in Singapore were spent in Night Safari. The experience started with the Thumbuakar tribal performance, which became more interesting when a guy from the audience was randomly selected to (and willingly) join them.

    • About witsandnuts

      Snapchat-5703935704258315256 Marhaba! That's "hello" in Arabic. I am an expatriate based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). I started writing about my adventures and misadventures few months before arriving here at winter of 2008. I have 2 cats and a dog who live harmoniously together. I am also surrounded by kindhearted, crazy, funny and indescribable humans! I was a dormant blogger for almost 3 years because of countless reasonable justifications like watching football, postgraduate studies, sleeping, traveling, caring for the world, and more! :) I am just so happy that I am back! It is never too late to catch up with the people and things we really care about. Feel free to look around.
