    Hi Tommy,

    I stumbled on your blog while googling Da Paolo in Singapore and have not looked back ever since. I’m from Singapore and I reallly love the way you document your daily existence in a blog so beautiful as this. Thanks for sharing with us what you see daily, it is indeed phenomenal. Keep writing! I was a lil’ sad when I couldn’t access you page a while ago. Your blog is like my fix to the Straits Times.com for news daily!

    Keep it up! :D
