Calvin (@ithayla.bsky.social) taught me One Round, which of course I loved

Timeline meets Just One? YES PLEASE

And because I’m an insufferable pro nerd, I have … feelings about the name and the box cover 😂

But game fun. Yay!

Don't go back to the nazi bar. They want to pretend they're not the nazi bar.

They're the nazi bar. Nothing else matters.

Mandatory food report (these will slow down)

Breakfast Curry Mee - thin rice noodle, thick egg noodle in a white curry with chili paste

I like mine with just the spongy tofu and without the blood cubes (which it normally comes with)

Moar food porn: Char Koay Teow (pictured below)

Flat rice noodles in lard and soy with egg, shrimp, scallions, garlic and other optional things (I generally go very basic)

The key is the wok it’s flash fried in. The best are generations old and you can really taste the wok itself! 😋

More essential breakfast documentation

Below is Hokkien mee: thin rice noodles and thick egg noodles in a sour chili broth with shrimp, pork, egg and veggies.

I don’t eat this heavy every morning, but no

Another breakfast fave, pictured below:
Roti Canai with chicken and veggie curries, fresh squeezed lime juice and my usual teh tarik

Total cost 5.20 Ringgit (which equals about 1.27 USD) 😋😋

There’s an unspoken rule: you don’t name the street cats

Cos you’ll get attached

And even though they’re well cared for in Malaysia, it’s a hard life - and it’s hard when they’re suddenly gone

It’s a good rule

Anyway, this is Simba. And Boots. And Gandalf

Nerd alert: one of my many favourite things about Singapore Changi Airport

Is the sheer number of A380s flying out of here.

The plane is a technological marvel, probably way ahead of its time, and sadly increasingly rare by the year

Reunited with my old breakfast buddy from my old Singapore neighbourhood! He remembered me 😍
