Sky Garden takes temperatures through the roof
I’ve delayed visiting Sky Garden at Capitaspring for too long, so I thought of dragging Pangzi there once exams end. “But it’s so hot these days,” Pangzi protested. “Are you trying to kill me, Daddy?” “Oh, Sky Garden is indoors, you know,” I lied. Well, it’s true partially. Located at the heart of Raffles Place, …
It’s Hong Kong Geopark, dam it
Pangzi was growing up to be too polite so I told him we were going to Hong Kong Geopark. “There’s a geological place of interest in Hong Kong of all cities?” he asked in disbelief. “Thank you, daddy.” “Yes, but what are you grateful for?” “Green tourism is the in thing now. I thought it’s …
Kapal Selam, says ChatGPT
One of the first names that appeared when I asked ChatGPT where to visit in Surabaya was Kapal Selam. “Kapal what?” Pangzi asked. “Monumen Kapal Selam,” I said, “or Submarine Monument as it is more commonly known as in English.” “And why are we going there again? Why not theme park?” “Because ChatGPT says so. …
Chatuchak Singapore shows cashless works
The first attempt to go to the Chatuchak Singapore night market that everyone was talking about failed, after being stuck in traffic along Eng Neo Avenue for half an hour without even getting near Turf City. Yes, it was that bad. “Daddy, why do you want to go Chatuchak Singapore on a weekend?” Pangzi asked …
Crazy about M+
“Daddy, is crazy a bad word?” Pangzi hesitantly asked on the plane to Hong Kong.” “Funny that you asked,” I said, “because I’m taking you to a crazy woman’s exhibition at M+ the minute we land.” “What’s M+?” “That’s the latest contemporary art museum in Hong Kong at the West Kowloon waterfront promenade.” “Overlooking the …
A host of reasons to go Red Tokyo Tower
It was not easy to convince Pangzi to visit Red Tokyo Tower at first. After all, my interest was not typical of the average tourist in Japan. “I’m going Red Tokyo Tower to see my idol,” I told him. “You can wait for me at the top. See some winter birds, watch the traffic below, …
Playground bully at Great World City
“Daddy, why are we at Great World City?” Pangzi asked impatiently. “Exam’s over and we should be touring the greater world now.” “The greater world is still fighting the pandemic,” I replied confidently with my prepared answer against this FAQ. Great World City had smartly used the pandemic period to undergo massive renovations to woo …
Funan underpass a link to digital art
Pangzi didn’t understand why I was taking him to the Funan underpass and not the shopping mall itself. “You’ll soon find out,” I teased. “The Funan underpass is almost a mistake.” “You mean it’s not meant to be built?” Pangzi said. “But it’s bringing so much convenience to pedestrians!” Indeed the Funan underpass links up quite …
Wrong ATV at Desaru Fruit Farm
The description looked enticing enough: Join us at the Desaru Fruit Farm for some exhilarating ATV action. So Pangzi could look at boring fruit while I’d go for the finer things in life. “Daddy, what’s ATV?” Pangzi asked. “Adult… something something. You don’t have to know,” I said, “since it’s not for you.” “I also want!” …
Henderson Waves confused with Kallang Waves
Since it was a public holiday, there’s no better time to visit Henderson Waves – or so I thought. “So hot today, why are you dragging me out of bed to go to some hot park?” “It’s HortPark, okay. From there we hike to Henderson Waves.” “Hiking is for old people,” Pangzi commented. “What waves?” …
