About this blog

The name of this blog is small alley. As in an alley, I hope to post a variety of things that I find interesting and as you walk through the alley, you would find things that you like.

I have posted some songs that I wrote. I am not a great singer. I sing and play the guitar purely for fun and I hope people who thinks they can't sing can be inspired by me. No former singing lessons and no former guitar training. Just pure fun......

The recording is also done at home with a drum machine and one guitar through a small amp. The sound file has been touched up slightly by removing the noise. Otherwise the songs are as original as it gets.

I practise Taiji regularly. For me, it is a great exercise requiring control of mind and body to perform well and for it to be enjoyable. You can get more videos of Taiji from YouTube.

Other posts include places and events that I think are interesting and more important, which I have time to upload.

Enjoy your walk through this small alley.....

Baker and Cook

Went to Hillcrest Road to have coffee with my wife last Thursday.  Found this place called Baker and Cook (http://www.bakerandcook.biz) at the corner of the block and it is quite a refreshing place.  We were impressed by their display of bread though we shared a croissant and had a coffee each.

I like the contemporary design.  Service came with a smile and the place has a leisure feel to it and besides us, there were a couple of ladies (tai tai?) chatting away.

Visit their website for more info.

Birthday Dinner

Last night, had birthday celebration dinner of my 2nd son at Ma Maison Restaurant at Millenium Walk (see their FaceBook page here).


The food is good (I had burger steak) and not too expensive.  What impressed me was the ambience.  Service was good too.  You get to be greeted and sent off by the whole crew - like entering a sushi restaurant.

Definitely worth visiting.
