After a really long day, Naomi, her mum and I decided on Ramen Santouka for dinner, and we were a little taken aback by the notices they put up, some of them about how your Ramen-Ricebowl-Egg set has been downgraded to a Small-Ramen-Salad set, and that you have to cough up an additional dollar to …
Having driven through Orchard Road in the evenings several times this month now, it cannot be said often enough how ugly the decorations are this year. This (as suggested in April) would’ve been better:
