Anatomy of An MRT Open House (VIDEO)

It seems that Singapore's MRT network keeps expanding with the opening of new train lines every year since 2009.

This first video with such format is called 'Why I Love Visiting Convenience Stores' and it's where I count down the reasons about well, why I love visiting convenience stores.

Bukit Timah Railway Station - A Trip Down Memory Lane

On 1st July 2011, if you want to head to Malaysia by train, train services from Tanjong Pagar Railway Station to Woodlands Train Checkpoint via Bukit Timah Railway Station ceased operations. The only way to get to Malaysia by train is by riding the train from Woodlands Train Checkpoint leaving the other two stations disused.

After months of track removal, Bukit Timah Railway Station opened to the public much to the delight of the public while the rest of the trail was turned into a park called the "Rail Corridor". In this article, I'll be giving you a tour around the railway station and my thoughts on it!

Frenzeelo 2014: Year In Review

Although Frenzeelo was quite inactive for about a few months in 2014 due to the new changes to the blog, there were still plenty of memorable moments that I can share with you. In this article, I'm going to give you a Year In Review, or simply, the best moments that happened in 2014 for Frenzeelo.

Memorable Moments During Celebrate December 2014

December is always considered a joyous month. There's Christmas, there's New Year celebrations on that last day of the month and there's also a wide array of performances and celebrations to end off the year. One of them is Celebrate December organised by the Esplanade Theatres. Since I've visited the 2013 edition of the event (which you can read here), I've decided to check out the 2014 version as well on the last week of the month. Now, let me share with you some of the great things I've experienced during the two-week long music festival.

Happy 3rd Birthday Frenzeelo!

3 years ago today, I started Frenzeelo as a means to find a way to showcase all the photos and videos that I've taken at various places and events around Singapore. If you don't know, I'm the kind of person who enjoys going out to explore Singapore's places and occupying my time visiting free and affordable events that are fun. Since there's so many photos and videos in my phone's Camera Roll and computer, I told myself why not share them and do a short writeup about them as well? As a result, Frenzeelo was established on 8th January 2012.

It has been quite an experience for me for the past 3 years running Frenzeelo. I taught myself how to edit video, how to write better and how to improve my current design skills all that and at the same time, inspired people to visit the places and events that I've visited and shared. I would say that Frenzeelo is still quite small as of now and I believe 2015 may be the year that I should start taking Frenzeelo to a new level.

Of course, Frenzeelo wouldn't even be around if it weren't for the readers and viewers. Thank you very much for all your support and I promise you, Frenzeelo will be bigger, better and will be packed with more content specially for you. And, I hope that I'll still be able to write a message for Frenzeelo's fourth birthday as well. Here's to another great year for Frenzeelo!

Christmas and New Year in the Singapore City

December is a great time mainly because of two major festive events. There's Christmas on the 25th of December and New Year on 1st of January (fun starts on the 31st of December). December can also be considered the best month of the year simply because of the wide range of Christmas trees, decorations, events, open houses and New Year's preparations. On the last two weeks of December, I decided to roam Singapore's city to check out all the wonderful festivities that don't cost a lot of money. Here's what I found.
