Update Jan 2017: The Tokutokuya outlets at Kallang Leisure Park & Ang Mo Kio Big Mac Centre are now changed to Mijyi – Your Dollar Up Mart. The only Tokutokuya outlet in SG is located at Changi City Point. Just a quick post for today cos’ I’m now preparing for Double-11 (11 November) which is […]

I am a BIG fan of zakka (Japanese term for ‘杂货’) which is basically referring to home improvement and/or lifestyle products for either decorative or practical purposes. I guess it’s also because of my interest in food styling and photography that I’ve started collecting zakka since a few months back. I’ve so many new stuffs […]

I’ve been looking for gold again on Qoo10 and found another great ticket deal for the S.E.A. Aquarium. Ended up paying only S$24+ for 2 (admission-after-2pm) tickets that included admission to The Maritime Experiential Museum and Typhoon Theatre as well. That was a whopping 40% off the published rates! 😉 These tickets had at least […]

Happy Birthday, Tools of The Trade (ToTT Store)! I was invited to ToTT’s first-ever Carnival Day on Saturday to celebrate its 5th birthday. For those who haven’t been to ToTT, check out my earlier blog post, ToTT Store @ Dunearn Road – A One Stop Shop for Kitchen Supplies. It’s my favourite store to go for […]

When I first received my bottle of Dynamo Power Gel, I was quite impressed with the product design because it came with a screw cap on top that doubled up as a measuring cup. As such, it was easy to measure out sufficient amounts of the power gel depending on the wash load size (about […]

Online shopping used to be an indulgent hobby for me but now it’s like a way of life. And it’s really not an overstatement to say that because I’m sure many of you think the same too. From fashion wear to accessories, books, kitchenware and groceries, I seem to be buying almost everything that I […]

“How great it is to be alive!” These words went through my head when the nurse tried to wake me up after surgery while I was still in the recovery room. I wanted to open my eyes wide so badly cos’ I had no clue whether I was in the ICU, in a critical condition, […]

Some of you may be familiar with Tools of the Trade (ToTT) which is the largest kitchenware and tableware retail store in Asia. Their flagship store at Dunearn Road is a one-stop culinary haven for anyone who cooks, bakes or hosts regardless if you’re a home cook, professional chef or a restaurant owner. If you […]

For many years, I had used the ‘cotton-puff-with-bottled-cleansing-lotion’ method to clean away makeup on my face every night before makeup remover wipes became my new best friend. And because I have oily/combination, eczema-prone and sensitive skin, I would only pick oil-free products that wouldn’t clog pores or make my face feel even oilier, stickier or […]

We sent off ACGG on her final journey yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s because reality hasn’t sunk in yet or if everything has happened too quick but I know I was exceptionally calm and composed throughout her funeral in the last 3 days. This morning, many thoughts kept pouring into my mind. I was […]

One of hubby’s colleagues recently introduced us to Garden Picks which is a snack supplier that sells dried fruits, seeds, nuts and crisps. There is free delivery with purchase of S$50 & above so he combined purchase with the rest of the peeps in the office and ordered these two packs of crisps. The Honey […]

– Media Tasting – Thai food lovers may now rejoice as you can savour some of Bangkok’s famed grilled street food in Singapore without having to buy an air ticket 😉 Nara Thai, voted as one of Thailand’s best restaurants since 2007, has recently rolled out a new menu with the addition of 15 street […]

[Updated 31/5: This book sale had ended one day earlier as they had ran out of stock due to overwhelming response.] And a very satisfying one indeed, haha. I got wind of the book sale after a fellow blogger put up a picture of her bountiful loot on Instagram and I was attracted by the […]

Could this be the end to my hair woes? I certainly hope so. Sometimes I just feel so gutted about my hair because ever since my hair got damaged by perm solution when Gran took me to a home-based hairdresser to get my hair permed when I was 9 years old, my hair just started […]

Some of you might not have heard of ORTO but the name ‘Bottle Tree Park’ might just ring a bell. ORTO (means ‘garden’ or ‘orchard’ in Italian) is a new leisure park that has now taken over the site of former Bottle Tree Park in Yishun (about 8-10 minutes walk from Khatib MRT Station). The […]

There can never be an end to a woman’s skincare regimen or perhaps I should say it is a lifelong process. When I was in my teens and 20s, my primary skin concern was about eliminating (or preventing) pimples and acne on my face. When I hit my 30s, I was quite bothered by the […]
