Did You Know?

Did you know that you can calculate your train fare with the SMRT Interactive Network Map?

I came across this while googling 'SMRT Train Fare', and was just wondering whether SMRT offers an online fare calculator system. Lo and Behold, they do! And it is very user-friendly.

As you can see in the print-screen below, the Network Map allows you to place your cursor on your START and END point. Once you have done so, your train fare is immediately displayed, stating fares for a Standard EZ Link Card, Adult, Children and Senior Citizen fares.

Definitely useful for tourists who are looking to do some research on transport costs in Singapore!

Chinese Laundry Women Shoes

Recently came across this brand of shoes: Chinese Laundry. No, its not a laundry store, nor is it a laundry store open by Chinese people.

I totally love their shoes!!! Their story started way back in 1971, where they were founded as Cels Enterprise, a shoe manufacturer. An excerpt from their online website can be found below:

Cels Enterprises, Inc., founded in 1971 by Robert and Carol Goldman, is a privately held woman's footwear company with headquarters in Los Angeles, California. From its beginnings as a shoe manufacturer selling to mass merchants, Cels Enterprises, Inc. has steadily expanded its influence in the fashion footwear industry. Consumer research and creative insight have led to the development of seven branded divisions within the Chinese Laundry family:

CHINESE LAUNDRY was launched in 1981. With groundbreaking styles season after season, Chinese Laundry lives at the forefront of fashion footwear for young women. Chinese Laundry is the perfect expression of its signature combination of outstanding quality and value with a unique and inspired point of view. From stylish daytime looks in innovative fabrics and leathers to evening collections in eye-catching metallics and satins, Chinese Laundry consistently provides a mix of styles and trends that are ideal for today’s fashion landscape.

These are some of my favorite designs:
