This was a picture taken from my balcony when the haze reached an alarmingly hazardous level of PSI 371 this afternoon. The worst haze ever to hit Singapore is still ferociously consuming our air. I’ve been having breathing difficulties all day, coupled with dull chest pains and heart palpitations. Despite having all windows closed and […]

Ever since moving to our new home, I’ve been experimenting with recipes and whipping up dishes (probably delivering a few disasters now and then too haha) more than ever. ‘My kitchen’ as what I affectionately call it, is my favourite part of the house where I spend most time in everyday.
