Learning Japanese + cafe-hopping

Image
Learning a foreign language is one of my main interests, and more than a decade ago, I started to pick up my first foreign language at Lingo Language School, whereby I completed a 3-month basic course in German. I might be a little rusty but I can still write basic German and do very simple communication in German too! In 2015, I was rather lucky as well as delighted to be selected to attend a 3-month elementary course for Korean, which was sponsored by the Korean company I work for. I still have a hard time understanding what the Koreans are talking about within the company, but I can make small simple talk with them! Both Baby and I love to visit Japan, and we have been to several prefectures. Our most recent trip was to Tokyo this year, as we used Tokyo as our transit point for my birthday holiday to Hawaii. The most memorable trip to Japan was our Kyushu Holiday in 2018. We flew to Fukuoka, and apart from Hakata, we also visited Kokura (KitaKyushu) Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Beppu...

[enrichment course] Learning Hangeul

Learning a foreign language is one of my main interests, and about a decade ago, I started this hobby and picked up my first foreign language at Lingo Language School , whereby I completed a 3-month basic course in German. I might be little rusty but I can still write basic German and do very simple communication in German!

Therefore, I am very happy that my company has decided to sponsor Korean language speaking lessons for the staffs, and I am rather lucky as well as delighted to be one of the first few selected to begin the 3-month elementary course! Our lesson is conducted once every week, so I cannot go for any events...

Weekend Brunch at Hotel Jen Tanglin + random-ness

Image
The former Traders Hotel has been rebranded as the  Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore since last year, and I brought my Baby for a Weekend Brunch Buffet which is only available on Saturdays and Sundays at SGD63+++ per pax. We enjoyed the bank promotions for 1-for-1.   I had ' laksa' at the noodles station and I love the Oyster Omelette loads!   The buffet spread was good and pleasant. Baby enjoyed his brunch very much and   the food spread was wide and delicious too. The only downside is the dim sum selection which was pretty limited, as they only offer  Lotus Seed Steamed Buns which looked like a white rabbit.    There was an array selection of assorted cakes, cupcakes, nonya kuehs and many dessert items to choose from... I love the Chocolate Fondau! I had a good quality time spent wiith my Baby over this Sunday Brunch at Hotel Jen Tanglin. After our meal, Baby drove me ...
