This blog reflects my main passions for photography, baking artisan breads and writing travel reviews.
I have a love of sharing with others what I learn, because in doing so, it keeps me learning, I hope that the many hours I laboured at work and in research on the various topics in this blog may benefit others who are similarly like-minded or just curious.
This blog is all about baking artisanal bread for our daily consumption. I avoid buying commercially made breads which I explain in one of my posts.
Photography, in particular, Nature photography and macro-photography is a passion of mine. This is a small selection of my pictures taken recently, with some information on the subjects, pointers and tips.
Having benefited from TripAdvisor (TA) I felt the need to contribute back with useful information. Since April 2010, I have been writing reviews in TA and am now TA’s 6th most helpful reviewer in Singapore.
It is my desire that the people who read my blog will find the material informational, instructive, and inspiring. May God Bless you all and enjoy reading!
