I drew inspiration from a poem that my childhood friend had written for me two decades ago. To reflect the times when I lost track of where I was heading to during the growing up years. Many times, I really wished life was just a dream so when I wake up the next morning, everything […]
From collagen drink, powder, hot pot, make up to skincare, ‘collagenisation’ is now an emerging trend. I used to think only the more senior ladies would require collagen because that’d be when age is shown significantly on the skin. But as I gradually move into my 30s and experience the changes myself, I realise that […]
Having a garden in the city is not just about getting closer to nature but it really offers a welcoming respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life as well as a cool reprieve from the sultry heat of our year-round summer. I love walking. I think it’s one of the most therapeutic exercises […]
I wrote this light-hearted poem for my husband when I first fell in love with him almost a decade ago. Those were the days I always had the warm and fuzzy feeling inside me when thinking of him and my heart always fluttered when he was around me. 9 and 1/2 years of knowing each […]
The husband planned a day out on my birthday two weeks ago and we started off with an outing to the River Safari in the morning which I was really excited about as I hadn’t been there since its soft opening in April 2013. And it was really a good time to visit the park […]
Finally arrived! I had placed my order in early December last year but due to the peak festive season, shipping was quite slow this time which was inevitable. I received my items in 3 separate boxes at different times over Christmas to the new year. Despite the holiday delay, everything came in good condition and […]
Last month, I received a Mayer brand Dolce Cake Maker from OpenRice Singapore (a local online dining guide) for Christmas but there was a problem with the set so I got it exchanged at ToTT over the weekend and also had a good time exploring the store at the same time since it was my […]
The last stop of our food factory outlet shopping tour ended at CS Tay which is a manufacturer and distributor of frozen foods in Singapore. I’m sure some of you might be familiar with Japanese Crispy Chicken (karaage) that comes in original and seaweed flavours. In fact, you can easily find them in supermarkets here […]
After spending a frosty hour at Fassler (read Part 1 of this post here) getting our salmon and seafood essentials, godma and I headed further down the road to Foodedge Gourmet where a free food sampling was happening at Melvados. Melvados provides convenient solutions for meals with frozen items like soups, gourmet breads, cooked meats, […]
Latest update (22.12.2014): Fassler’s new retail outlet at Tiong Bahru is now open! Check out my post here. I was unlucky to have torn a ligament on my right foot earlier and my doctor had suggested that I consume more salmon to speed up the healing process hence this spurred my decision to visit the […]
Sounds like a depressing topic for a Christmas Day post but I thought of sharing my husband’s experience when he got dengue fever recently while details are still fresh in my mind as this episode had worried both of us out because dengue fever isn’t a small problem as it can be life-threatening if it […]
Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I remembered when I was little (probably 5 years old), I found an old Christmas stocking somewhere in the house so I hung it by my bed, hoping for Santa to stop by to fill up my stocking with little surprises. I slept early, told myself not to […]
These days, I’m starting to get lazy when it comes to making up my face as I prefer to just slap on some sunscreen (and the most BB cream) and then go out au naturel. Two months ago, I got the husband to buy this Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion for me from the duty […]
Recently, there have been quite a number of local TV programmes depicting Singapore in its early days, things that we grew up with and food/snacks that we used to eat when we were little kids. These certainly brought back some nostalgic childhood memories for me. And so happened I was walking around the Arab Quarter […]
This beautiful poem was written by another website reader of mine. It’s really uplifting especially during moments when you fall and don’t have the strength to stand up again. Sometimes all we need is just something to hang on to… Life isn’t a Bed of Roses by Elise Thick and thin you’ll go through all […]
I went to the salon and had my waist-length hair cut to just below the shoulder. And I felt good about it because psychologically, it was a therapeutic experience. It was like lifting a stone off me after it weighed down on me for ages. Anyway, my thick and heavy hair had caused my scalp […]
