Elle magazine announced that they were holding their annual horoscope party and free invites were up for grabs, so I quickly joined and promptly received an email confirming that I had won a pair of invites. I asked Cate to join me since she and I are both into these things. The venue was at […]
Miss Volunteer Teacher
Our office partnered up with a non-profit organization and asked for volunteers to teach kids at Queenstown Primary School some lessons that focus on three key content areas: work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. My seatmate Tinay and I signed up. Our assignment was to teach a module called “Our City” which was split up […]
Prince Charming Qualifications
Me: I just had an angel card reading. Looks like I won’t be finding Prince Charming soon. Flisha: Just get a frog and turn him! Or a beast. Or a pauper. Now that I think about it, the fairy tales are pretty lenient on who can become a prince. Me: Haha I didn’t realize that […]
Lechon, Chicharon, Tanong
Mildred had a craving for Andok’s lechon manok during the week, but since we don’t have that in Singapore, we had to make do with Mang Kiko’s Lechon. We met in Lau Pa Sat on sat. There was a funny moment on my way there when I called Nantoy to ask where he was exactly […]
At One Altitude, the Bar with Trees in it
After dinner with Gelle at TFS Bistrot, I headed to Raffles to meet the girls so we could hit the bar called One Altitude. It was my first time there, but I had already heard so much about the place as it is famous for being the world’s highest al-fresco gastro-bar. That explains its name. […]
Back to the French Stall
I went back to TFS Bistrot, this time with Gelle, for her belated birthday dinner. We wanted to have cheese fondue but it turns out that it’s off-season for that, so we ended up ordering food that I had already tried last time – escargot, duck leg confit with foie gras, giant profiteroles and rose […]
The Stranger in the Bar Queue
While in the queue into 1 Altitude bar a couple nights ago, the guy ahead of us turned to us and said, “Welcome to Singapore! I’m from the tourism board.” Now we knew he was joking because he was caucasian and obviously not a Singaporean, so we laughed. He said a lot of other things […]
The Stranger in the Elevator
Kids, I’m gonna tell you an incredible story… the story of how I met my boyfriend. On the first day of February 2012, my work started at noon, so instead of buying my usual hawker food lunch, I bought a sandwich from the cafe on the first floor of my building. I chose my favorite […]
The Stranger on the Bus
The episode from my life that I will relate now actually happened a few days ago, during the Chinese New Year. But before I get to that, let me share the story that made me think of it. This story was shared to me by my friend Chrissete earlier tonight. She said it was a […]
Welcome to My Sitcom :)
Some time ago, I came up with this thought: Life is like a movie. There are quotable quotes, comedy, songs in the background, giddy moments, tears, unexpected twists, moral lessons, villains, leading men and happy endings. But it’s completely up to you if you’d like to play the lead role or just be an extra. […]
