    My shoebill obsession, now in Nanoblock form (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    The year was 2019 when I saw this big bird that looked like a cross between Psyduck and a flamingo, except in bluish-grey. I was at the then-Jurong Bird Park, which has since moved to Mandai and been renamed Bird Paradise. It looked amusing (in a good way), and I later found out it’s called a shoebill.On that fateful day, I decided the shoebill is my favourite bird.I began collecting its figurines whenever I came across one — luckily, there weren’t many. Then, while shopping in Japan (Osaka, I t

    What volunteering at a cat shelter is like (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Recently, I was getting too restless and felt I needed something to keep me grounded. I remembered how volunteering added meaning to my university life and gave me some sense of belonging and purpose. I liked how it was tiring but worth the effort, knowing that you’d helped someone in need.For a change of pace, I could go back to volunteering, but where?I let the idea sit at the back of my mind… until I came across a post by Pat-A-Cat (PAC), a cat shelter I’ve been following on Instagram. It fel

    I finally built the Nanoblock that's been judging me from my cupboard (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    I have a confession to make: I buy Nanoblocks on impulse while travelling in Japan and never get round to building them.It’s so bad that I have a few idling in my cupboard for months, sometimes years, never getting to see daylight. I even had to enforce a rule against buying more until I’ve built the ones I already own.Nanoblocks just have a strange appeal, don’t they? I think I liked the idea of them being cute and looking like a puzzle waiting to be solved, but the procrastination god residing

    Chasing "Pokemal" at Rifle Range Nature Park (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The first time I visited Rifle Range Nature Park, I thought it was pretty underwhelming, especially since it was overhyped when it opened in November 2022.If you enter from the Beauty World entrance, it only takes about an hour to reach the pinnacle: Colugo Deck. Along the way, it’s mostly greens, more greens, and the quarry. It’s a simple enough hike (with some elevation and an obstacle course, though) that you could easily complete before lunch.So when I first saw the Singapore episode of the
