I had pre-Valentine’s dinner with my hometown friends on Friday the 13th. When no one knew where to go, I stepped up and suggested the restaurant I had gone to during the Sample Store Kabloom event a few months ago. It was a good choice. My friends loved the place.

The Internet Wants to Know: What Colour is This Damn Dress?
The internet just went wild over this divisive dress. Apparently some people see it as white and gold, while some see it as blue and black. I see it as blue and black. So far most of my friends see it as the same, but a few do see it as white and gold. What […]
Books are a Uniquely Portable Magic
I cringed when something hit David at the back of his head in the New York subway. Just as I was about to find out if he was okay, I got distracted when the jam-packed train started emptying of its passengers. Just like David, in a split second, I jumped from the New York subway […]
I Met a Real-Life Ross Geller at a Meetup Event
Over the weekend, a friend and I attended our first ever networking event. What is a networking event? It’s a party where you meet new people. We signed up for it using the Meetup app, and paid $10 for the entrance fee which includes a drink (either wine, beer, or cola). Why did we do […]
Oscars 2015: My Favourite Moments
I finally finished watching the Oscars (I’m late because of the whole being in a different part of the world thing) so I thought I’d talk about what I thought were the best moments. (1) The fact that Neil Patrick Harris hosted. I love the guy!

Gong xi fa cai! Happy year of the goat! Today is Chinese New Year, the most celebrated holiday in Singapore. Here are some of the things I’ve experienced every CNY. A hong bao or ang pow (red packet) of cash and 2 mandarin oranges are distributed to each employee at our office. Traditionally, married couples […]
A Free Crystal Pendant for the Bride-to-be
My friend Gay and I went wedding shoe shopping last Sunday and I had a really grand time. One of the VPs in our office loves to use that word – grand – and I didn’t realize that it had slipped into my vocabulary. But I don’t mind. It’s grand! Sorry, where was I? Oh […]
7 Things That Really Grind My Gears
I love 9gag and its memes. I love that it has given me an idea for what lists to come up with for my Sunday Seven series. Today I’m tackling the “What Really Grinds My Gears” meme. Here we go.
An Inspiring Love Story: The Love That Gay Deserves
I was going to try and write a short story for this Valentine’s day, but then I thought, why write fiction when I can just share the real life story of a friend? Real life stories are more inspiring, anyway, because they could actually happen to you and it’s not just another unrealistic standard set […]
