    Getting our Hands Dirty at Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle

    Deep in the jungle lies the aptly named Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle, a rustic place filled with all things ceramic. So technically it's not in the jungle, but it is located in CleanTech Park near NTU. It's still pretty far away and hard to get to, especially if you live on the other side of Singapore! It took us about 2 hours from Pasir Ris to get to this little haven away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

    We Flew at iFly Singapore!

    WJ took me to Sentosa for a surprise Valentine's day experience at iFly Singapore yesterday! I don't think I was very good at it; I kept sinking down to the safety net every time the instructor let me go. Or I'd spin around and keep hitting the glass! But we had lots of fun and it was a terrific experience!

    Taipei, we meet again!

    This trip to Taiwan can be considered an impromptu one. We had already bought air tickets to Bali for a 6-day family trip, which had thankfully only cost us $88 each. But because of the recent AirAsia crash which happened on the same route, WJ's sister became a bit paranoid and we ended up buying new tickets to Taipei just 2 to 3 days before we had to leave! As we were going with WJ's parents who hadn't been to Taipei before, we decided to keep the trip a simple one and bring them to some of the more touristy sites.
