Of Sacrifice and Penance this Good Friday

Allow me, folks, to be a little more spiritual this Good Friday of 2013.

Merriam-Webster.com defines the adjective Sherlockian as "of or resembling the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes esp. in the exercise of unusual powers of deduction."  And you'll get plenty of that in Graham Moore's The Sherlockian.

Day Trips to the Singapore Zoo

I've been to the Singapore Zoo twice already; the first during my trip to visit the ex-BF (now the Husband) here in 2008, and recently last December 2012 when we brought the Little One, the Madir, and a dear friend of the family's for a day trip inside.  And on both occasions, I still get as giddy with excitement as if it was still my very first visit.

Visiting the National Museum of Singapore

I love museums!  I just can't get enough of them.  They're rich halls of information and make history truly come alive.  And one of the best I've visited is located here -- the National Museum of Singapore.

Not only is it more fun in the Philippines, but it is actually doing very well economically.  This positive assurance was shared by four business and trade leaders in the government and private-sector at a business forum held at the AIM Conference Center.  Charts presented at the forum showed the positive indicators stimulating the economy, from US dollar shortages to surplus, interest rates down and focused efforts to stimulate the economy.

Reliving Childhood Pasts at the MINT Museum of Toys, Singapore

I love visiting museums.  So it's actually quite fortunate for us that Singapore has a number of these glorious halls of learning.  But out of all these, the MINT Museum of Toys will most probably always remain my favorite.
