Chi was back in Singapore for a vacation, so last Sunday we had brunch with her at her favorite pancakes place, Strictly Pancakes. It was my second time to go and I really wanted to try their chocolate pancakes this time, but they said they didn’t serve those before lunch. Hmph. So I had one […]

Italian Night
Last Saturday, I met up with Betchie and Arlyn to watch Kaos, one of the films shown by Cathay for their Italian Film Festival. It’s a three-hour long Italian film divided into four short stories. The Other Son is about a mother who longs for and keeps on writing to her two sons who left […]
Joey and Gelle’s Wedding
When Pippa Middleton first stepped out in her Sarah Burton dress, some people thought it was odd to see a maid of honour dressed in white. I did not think that, however, because I had recently been in a wedding where the female entourage (except the maid of honour, though) was all in white. And […]
Gyu-Kaku @ Holland Village
We decided to get dressed up and celebrate Gay’s birthday at Holland Village, a popular place that I’ve heard of long ago but never been. There were plenty of restaurants but we chose Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese restaurant that served wagyu beef steak. The idea of cooking our own food has always appealed to us, in […]
The Hangover 1 & 2 {Movie Review}
Yesterday morning I had this conversation with Tyne when we happened to catch the same bus to work. Tyne: Let’s watch Hangover 3! Me: Isn’t it only Hangover 2? But sure, okay. Tyne: Are you sure? I mean, you don’t like slapstick, right? Me: Well yeah, but who knows, maybe it’s not that bad. Let […]
I’d Like to Buy a Husband, Please
One of the things that make me extremely ecstatic is finishing a creative piece. That happened yesterday when I finished writing a short story. Now I’ve written a lot of few short stories before but this is the first one I wrote that wasn’t a gift for a friend or based on a true story. […]
X-Men First Class {Movie Review}
I almost watched X-Men: First Class by myself today because almost everyone I invited had already seen it. I would’ve done it too, but luckily Tyne was still available, so I dropped one yoga class so we could go watch the 7:10 show at Cathay Cineleisure. It was worth all my trouble. I was a […]
Elma’s Birthday in Balithai
We celebrated Elma’s birthday at Balithai in Velocity last Friday. I couldn’t get enough of the squid. “You may now kiss the bride – err – birthday girl.” After that we went to Partyworld KTV in Orchard. People laughed when I did my version of Avril Lavigne’s “Happy Ending” with matching emotions and playacting but […]
Trapped
I’m supposed to be in the office now (or enroute there) but instead I’m trapped in our living room. And I mean this literally… I’m locked inside the house and can’t go out. This is how it happened. Since it’s Friday, it’s casual day, so I decided to switch bags to complement my jean jumper. […]
