Today was one lazy Saturday spent cooped up in our bedroom watching Pushing Daisies on someone’s laptop. When Peter hugged Cate’s teddy bear, I suddenly missed my own cuddly stuffed pet who is still in a bag I left in my old office back in the Philippines. Last Valentine’s day, we organized an exchange gifts […]
Royce Nama Chocolates: Little Drops of Heaven
When I got my first paycheck, I decided to treat my Singapore family to the most raved about chocolates which happened to have a store in Suntec City – Royce. Last time my former officemate Adette was here, she was looking for some to buy as pasalubong. Turns out she had bought the wrong thing. […]
How was Your Day?
Peter was telling Cate and me about his trip to the ministry of manpower last night. Our entire family was on its way to Fair Price to shop for groceries then. Suddenly he broke off in midsentence, saying, “But I shouldn’t be talking about this.” “Why not?” Cate and I asked. “Because I should be […]
Terrible F1 Accident
Ahehe. I know, I know. Corny! I did get a small glimpse of the F1 race, though. A very faraway glimpse from our office in Raffles Place, where I saw the extent of the roads blocked off for this event, and an up-close view in Suntec City, where I got to see them racing by, […]
Hougang Saan
Theme song: Hougang saan hougang kailan… Cate and I finally moved into our flat in Hougang Central yesterday. Gelle, Joey and Peter had moved in last Monday. Addiction to the Twilight series made us want to call ourselves the Cullens. Hahaha. And so tonight, the “Cullens” decided to “hunt” in the nearby Punggol park. Okay, […]
Lah-sang
“Having here, take away?” The girl behind the food counter asks me. In other words, dine in or take out? This is only one of the seemingly unusual yet commonly heard phrases here in Singapore. Take this question from one of my teammates. “Try to approve. Can?” My other teammate’s answer: “Cannot.” But the most […]
Malled In
I’m ecstatic. We found an HDB flat at the most ideal spot – just a stone’s throw away from two malls, the Hougang MRT station and a bus stop! Nevermind that it’s on the third floor of a building that has no elevators (the exercise will do us good) and that it’s furnished with everything […]
My First Week
It was my first week at a new office. As most first weeks go, this one was quite boring, because there was nothing much to do yet. My boss took us out for lunch on my first day as a welcome to me, and we had Thai cuisine and home made ice cream for dessert. […]
How to Cry
Cate worries that her eyes will get all puffy because she has been up all night crying from reading the book New Moon. I did not cry from that book. But I got Bella’s hole in the chest so I had to stop reading it; the pain was too much for me. I eventually got […]
AP Reunion in Singapore
Adette and Cezanne, former officemates in P&G, had their market visit in Singapore this week so we arranged to meet up for dinner. Since they wanted to buy pasalubong, they decided to go to Suntec City Mall, where my office is located (yeah, my office is inside a mall. Talk about tempting.). I led them […]
