Name the MRT Celebrity!

On the train, it's rare to see anyone not hunched over their smartphone(s). But here is Twinky Tim staring wistfully out of the moving coach. Very simple OOTD but it works for him ( when you're young and cute, most looks work :P ). Though SimonLover probably would prefer tinier shorts on him. P.S. : Maybe his smartphone ran out of battery. :P

On Father's Day, mum and I went lepak-ing at Paradigm Mall. Had a simple meal of chicken hor fun at Nam Heong . Was a bit flabbergasted that their tiny chicken sou actually costs RM3.80. Spiderman was roaming around the mall as part of some cosplay thing, but it wasn't Eric Lau Lofstedt . Stopped by at Starbucks to use my comp drink. Used it for a seasonal drink ( maximum value! )~ dark caramel frap with coffee sphere. Starbucks' answer to Koi's golden bubble. Truth be told, it was good. Not sickly sweet at all. And the coffee spheres were delicious. I actually finished that whole drink. Well, the drink was great, and so was the view. Starbucks Shin was sitting opposite me the whole time. Such a cutie. Perfect for those who like a good matcha latte. SK jio-ed us for dinner at Yuen Yuen , Taman Kinrara but I told her to avoid Chinese restaurants like the plague. Never a good idea to venture to such places during Father's Day. We ate at Day 9 Kitchen

Our second day in Egypt started bright and early with breakfast at 6 AM. Pretty standard fare, with the exception of some local stuff like falafel. By 7:15 AM, we were out to mass at the Convent of the Franciscan Sisters of St. Elizabeth. The building was unmarked, with high walls, located beside a canal underneath an elevated highway. The entrance was dominated by excavators laying huge water pipes. Several Italian sisters welcomed us into the compound. A different group from India ( also were staying at Movenpick ) had the earlier slot, so we had to wait for them to finish. Mass was celebrated in the chapel, just enough for the forty of us. It was small, but the acoustics were great. No local tour is completed without visiting some kind of factory for some tourist trap shopping. Hany brought us to Golden Eagle Crystal, a government-owned outlet for a 'crash course' on fragrances. We were ushered into a small room filled with pretty glass vials. Our salesman also s

Way back in July 2018, mum and I decided to join a pilgrimage to the Holy Land scheduled for April/May 2019. Since then, I had constantly ignored the trip until the departure date arrived. Opps. Didn't start packing until a few days before. Sis and Little Monster sent us to the airport. The check-in at the Emirates counter was a breeze. The whole group gathered at 10 PM for the pre-pilgrimage briefing. Our flight out to Dubai was at 1:25 AM, so we had hours to kill. It was my first time on Emirates and also my maiden flight on the A380. Leg room was decent on economy class and the entertainment console was good. Didn't feel much turbulence at all. No complaints about the food and service ( no cute steward :( ). The only bad thing was that mum's tray table kept falling down. Watched "Mortal Engines"  which truly was an underwhelming affair. Arrived in Dubai International Airport at about 5 AM. DBX's reputation as the biggest transit airport also means
