^ Unfortunately we don’t have cute witches flying around on brooms :/

Was thinking of bringing more about the local scene to your readers. In attempt to do that, I’ll be starting a series called “A week in Singapore”, inspired by Danny Choo’s “A week in Tokyo”.

I’m not too sure if I’ll be able to this every week but let’s just try it out ^^

My room in a mess after shifting everything back in after the floor got polished. It’s all cleaned up now.

Hanging out with a couple of guys at Manga Oasis Cafe in Suntec City. That’s Spaceballs on the laptop.

Trying to make it a routine to do a bit of drawing practice every week. This one’s a lineart drawn from the girl in PINK CHU CHU’s latest artbook.

Though my friend, Xephonia has better lineart. Wonder when I’ll reach that level ^^;

Dinner for that day was Nasi Lemak, which is steamed rice that has been soaked in coconut cream. Comes with dried anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted peanuts, egg, chicken, cucumber slices and spicy hot sauce (Chilli).

You can choose any accompaniments to come along or select from the set. Chose the set that came with the fish (The store called it Fried Tempura fish) but it was just ordinary fried breaded fish. Tasted pretty alright.

Browsing my friend’s issue of Megami Creators (February). Illustrator’s 「ゆきうさぎ」 (Yukiusagi). Awesomely cutesy girl. Me wants ^^;

Night shot of the city skyline. The colored version turned out blurry as I didn’t had a tripod. That’s the Esplanade on the right, more locally known as “The Durain”.

Waraku, a Japanese Restuarant. Tried once. The prices are pretty decent.

Some more buildings.

Another shot of the Esplanade.

Waiting for the train. Security doors in all underground stations.

Something went wrong with the picture ^^;

Crowded train.. though not as crowded as during Japan’s rush hour.

Was at a bar with a bunch of friends for New Year’s eve. How was yours?

Taking a cab home first thing in the morning after New Year’s Celebrations.

Cab fares here have pretty much increased. Midnight surcharge (12 midnight till 6am in the morning) costs 50% of your fare. So if your fare’s original price + 50% of it.
