The Dog’s Horoscope and Peach Blossom Luck

January 21, 2014 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 12 Comments

The biggest holiday in Singapore is coming up next week – Chinese New Year. Malls and stores are all decked out in Chinese New Year decors and peddling mandarins, lucky charms, and red underwear (for good luck). Meanwhile, salons are charging additional “Chinese New Year” fees for haircuts and pedicures, because everyone is getting them […]

What Does Your Name Mean?

January 14, 2014 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 32 Comments

They say that each name means something and that the name you are bestowed with shapes your life. Now my father had changed the spelling of my name to accommodate his numerology beliefs, so when I use normal name meaning books or sites, I won’t find an accurate meaning of my name. But then I […]

December 29, 2013 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 54 Comments

2013 was the year I grew my blog. I had started this blog back in 2005 but for 7 years I treated it as a diary and wrote as if I was the only one reading it, which was what happened most of the time. Late last year I lost my will to blog and […]

Dear Maybelle, Enjoy your vacation in the Philippines, roomie! I think it was quite unnecessary to tell me that I can bring home a guy while you are away. I mean, where would I find one??

{Letters & Links} Birthdays, Christmas Cards, & Fave TV Shows

November 30, 2013 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 12 Comments

Dear Dred, Whenever you gush that you are my #1 fan, I feel what Sherlock must feel towards John. Mostly surprise at the admiration, but also a deep gratitude that I don’t quite know how to show.

I finally got the social committee to agree to my masquerade ball theme idea for our office’s annual dinner & dance. I was elated for a few hours before realizing that ball gowns cost a lot of money. Uh oh. But then my friend found a costume rental place which rented out fab Victorian ball […]

What NOT to Name Your Baby

November 20, 2013 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 38 Comments

“So, have you thought about what to name your baby?” I asked my pregnant friend Kes a few months ago. “I haven’t decided on it, yet,” she replied. “But I was thinking of coming up with a name that was a combination of my parents’ names, my husband’s and my own.” “Well, as long as […]
