My Pictorial Diary

As picture tells a thousand words, therefore I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Armed with nothing, but a camera,
Take nothing, but pictures,
Capture nothing, but memories,
Leave nothing, but footprints.

Hong Kong Trip 2017 Day 2 ~ Shatin Park / Shing Mun River

I started the morning with some exercise at this beautiful park near our hotel in Sha Tin. The fresh morning air and peaceful surroundings made it the perfect place to stretch, walk and get the body moving. Sha Tin is blessed with lovely green spaces and riverside paths, making a morning stroll especially enjoyable.

As I walked around the park, I enjoyed the greenery, beautiful gardens and the calm atmosphere along the Shing Mun River. It was nice to see locals doing their morning exercises and enjoying a healthy start to the day. There were also fitness facilities around the park, giving us plenty of opportunities to keep active.

After my little workout, we felt refreshed, energised and ready for another exciting day of exploring Hong Kong. What a wonderful way to begin the morning in Sha Tin!

Hopefully can meet some happy couples
This park must be absolutely beautiful at night, especially when it comes alive with sparkling Christmas decorations and lights. We’ll definitely be back soon to see the magical transformation and enjoy the festive atmosphere!

Singapore Waterfront ~ Starbucks 100th Store 2016

We made a special visit to Starbucks’ 100th store in Singapore, located in the historic Fullerton Waterboat House. Opened in 2014, this iconic outlet was housed in a beautifully restored heritage building dating back to 1919, creating a lovely blend of old-world charm and modern coffee culture.

The nautical-inspired setting and historic surroundings made this Starbucks more than just a place for coffee—it felt like a little journey into Singapore’s past. It was wonderful to take a moment to appreciate the architecture, soak in the atmosphere and enjoy the unique character of this memorable landmark.

Sometimes we just need the cup with the little green straw!

After our Starbucks stop, it was time to stretch our legs and enjoy a little stroll along the Singapore River. The riverside was a lovely mix of old and new, with historic landmarks, modern buildings and the gentle flow of the river creating a charming cityscape.
