Food Fortune Vegetarian Restaurant

We were getting the new school uniform when we stumbled upon this little restaurant. The place was beautifully renovated and had a clean and homely setting. We decided to step in (food lor)...

Name of Restaurant: Food Fortune Vegetarian Restaurant
Later we realized that they are on Food Panda! That was great because we often order for food delivery. (Sometime I work whole day and never get to even wash the veges, sometimes the kids needed something to "motivate" them, so...........deliveries save the day!😆)


素 (su) - means Vegetarian in Chinese

Our neighbourhood cat............ relaxing under its favourite tree, seemingly in deep thoughts.......




Still in deep thoughts when I came back from work :)

A jog in the garden........... and fond memories

Recently my girl requested to go "practice" jogging for her school annual cross country event. So we spent a few weekend evenings jogging together.

It is always a great jog at Jurong lake, home to the Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden.Usually we start our jog in the mid-evening when it is not too hot and there is always nice things to see along the way.

As usual we like to take photos of this and that for memories' sake.







The Pagoda brings back memories of my younger days. When I was little, I lived in Malaysia. Once, my family came to holiday in Singapore, and we visited the Chinese Garden. I remember the same spots where my mom, my sister and I posed for photos, more than 30 years ago. The Pagoda was one of these spots.

These following 4 pairs of photos are those taken many years ago (in 1982, to be exact) and taken recently. The place looks very much the same as decades ago although the trees are definitely bigger, and older now:)

Another beautiful day at Chinese Garden

It rained cats and dogs this morning, while I sent my daughter to school. The weather remained cloudy and cool till the afternoon. By evening, it was sunny again and the evening rays were bright golden.

Around the neighbourhood.......... Flowers (1)

I don't know the name of these trees, but now and then, they bloom the most beautiful pink flowers, so much so that I imagine I am looking at a Cherry Blossom tree.

Christmas mood..............IMM - Westgate@Jurong

It was a sunny Sunday. Kids and I took our first ever walk along the stretch of  J-link from IMM to Westgate Jurong East. As usual, my LG phone camera "clicked clicked clicked" along the way....

Taking photos of reflections in the shiny balls is one of my favourite things to do

Do you see me?

Let's sit down for some hot and spicy beef noodle soup. 

A night at the centre

I love Jurong East, have I mentioned this before?

When I want to have a quiet evening, I will spend quality time at home; when I am in the mood for some people watching or window shopping, I will go to Jurong Central. With so many shopping malls and endless list of food outlets, hawker centres, coffee shops, and eateries..... and the library of course........ city, I mean, neighbourhood-life is never bored.....

Westgate, Jurong East

My Jurong...

The view from our old block, it is a nice view where I could see Jurong East Central, MRT station, the library, IMM building and the old Jurong Entertainment Centre. Photo was taken about 7 years ago....

This is where my heart is...... right now.

A beautiful west side town on the Little Red Dot.

Jurong was developed into an industrial estate in Singapore in the 1950s and 1960s. The coastal region was also developed into sea ports. Housing estates were developed as a result of expansion of industrial sectors, partly to house the people working in this region.

It is now Singapore's 50th year of independence, so much has evolved, not only for Jurong but also the rest of the country. High rise housing blocks, condominiums, tall majestic city buildings. I remember when I first moved from Malaysia 25 years ago, the west side of the island was quiet and "sleepy". So much has changed over the years!

I have taken so many photos as I walked along the streets and around the neighbourhood. Now I just would like to share some old collection as well as recent photos of this little BIG town where I live. Hope my readers especially those around this neighbourhood will like them.

I will also add some references about Jurong that I have come across,  these sites are very good and are very interesting, some even tells us the history and development of Jurong and Singapore and some have nice, hard-to-find nostalgic photos.

I hope you will enjoy!

Jurong Lake - Chinese Garden

Spent a lovely morning jogging along the trails of Chinese Garden on this Sunday morning. I jogged from my house it took less than 15 min to jog leisurely to reach.

Took many photos of the garden and surrounding, the most beautiful views were from the Pagoda, where the staircase spiralled about 6 storeys above the hill top.

I could see the nearby MRT stations, Jurong East Central, Singapore Science Centre, as well as Taman Jurong, Bukit Batok and the Jurong Coastal areas.
