Comfort Food + Retail Therapy

by Leave a Comment

I realized that I had been wearing the same black sandals to work almost everyday for months now and decided that it was time to get another one. I do have other sandals, but they’re not flats, and ever since I came to Singapore, I’ve gotten traumatized by all the walking we have to do […]

Fresh Fruits Only

by

Lately I tried to do the Southbeach diet again but failed the “no fruits for the first two weeks” part. It’s just that lately during the nights, I’ve been losing my appetite for cooked food. But since I still get hungry and need to eat, I turn to the only things that don’t make my […]

Fifth Year Anniversary

by

I can’t believe it’s been five whole years since I wrote my first entry in this blog. Can’t believe that the most inconsistent girl in the world actually managed to maintain something for that long – churning out 800+ posts ain’t no joke. It was my friend Flisha who first told me that there is […]

Clarke Quay and Alarice

by

Some nights out last week. Clarke Quay It was Ervyn’s last week in Singapore, so LL thought of going on a night out in Clarke Quay. We had some drinks on the bridge before going inside Pump Room, which charges no entrance fee. We danced the night away and it felt so good that when […]

A Son’s Tears

by

I got such a shock last Saturday midnight when I got an email from Gelle informing us that Joey’s dad had passed away that afternoon due to an asthma or heart attack (results were inconclusive and they didn’t subject him to autopsy anymore). What makes this sadder is that Joey and Gelle had flown back […]

Up in the Air {Movie Review}

by

I watched Up in the Air tonight. It wasn’t an outstanding movie, but it was nice enough, made me laugh at some parts and cry in others. It’s a movie about life, about pursuing your passions or goals, about lifestyle choices we make and how the things we think are good are not necessarily so and how […]

Austine in Istana

by

My high school and college classmate Austine visited his girlfriend Tyne (who is also my college classmate) in Singapore. Cate, Ervyn, Boom and I met the couple for dinner at Just Acia near the Dhoby Gaut MRT station. Unlimited drinks and ice cream! our set up in Just Acia (in a distorted way of looking […]

Tapa King Singapore

by

Tapa King opened a franchise in Singapore this March, so we decided to check it out. One more reason to drop by Lau Pa Sat! I went with Betchie, Yves and Arlyn. I had the tapa king meal with a side order of salted egg with tomatoes. They served their meals on a sheet of […]
