During our time in Singapore, we made a few outings for cycling. We enjoyed all of the cycling paths that we used. One of our old favorites, the Yishun cycling path, made for an enjoyable evening for many friends of all ages. The path runs along a canal leading to the sea and ends at Bottle Tree Village.

We had several kids and adults head out with all the bikes piled in the back of the truck (this meant two trips to get all the folks to the path!) I forgot how long the path is but it is a nice leisurely ride. All of the little boys had a grand time, especially the two on brand new bikes! Afterward, they all rode down the new sidewalk that leads out to a coffee shop near Admiralty Road. My daughter and I decided to brave it home on our bikes to leave more room for the little ones and their bikes to be transported back home.

This turned out to be an adventure in itself. It was getting dark and I made a choice to chance a “short cut” which wasn’t so short. All in all it took us about an hour to get home. And my daughter was not feeling too great during the last bit of the ride. And it was getting crowded with many folks getting off work at that time. But we stopped for an icee and made our way back. I ended up having a good time even if we did get “lost”. Actually, I think that was good as it made me more attentive to landmarks and made me learn my way around even better.

Our kitchen was remodeled several years ago. I still really like the way everything looks. I do at times wonder though if putting in a white ceramic sink was the best option. I like it and the way it looks. Except for the scratches. And for how dirty it gets. And how quickly it shows that it’s dirty. I do get tired of scrubbing it so much!

We did have a stainless steel sink previously. I liked it ok, but thought maybe it wouldn’t go “just right” with the new kitchen decor. But I guess in reality, the stainless steel sinks are pretty timeless. They are kind of like black or navy blue, they really do just go with everything!

I suppose getting a stainless steel sink would be a practical choice for any kitchen. I would also guess they are the most affordable too. If I had it to do over again, I wonder which sink I would choose.
