For last Valentine’s Day’s exchange gift, Cate and I received entrance tickets to The Arena club in Clarke Quay for February 28. We thought it was just an ordinary night club, but when I finally got around to finding out where it was, I discovered that this club housed the first permanent illusion show in […]

Makeup Madness
The last time I blogged about makeup, my friends Jess and Flisha were terribly amused. I suppose makeup is not something I can claim to be an expert on. I only started using them regularly when I got forced by my bosses when I was a teller and needed to face customers and all. While […]
When Ex P&Gers Unite
Kes (Janice) and Tics (Jerome) visited Gelle and me in Singapore for four days starting Feb 20. We were batchmates in P&G, and now all of us are with different companies (with Kes owning hers). We rode the hippo tour bus for the first two days, visited Sentosa on day 3, shopped for pasalubong on […]
Bad Gifters
I was talking to a new friend about books, and she asked me if I had already read The Lovely Bones. I said no, and she proceeded to tell me about how that had been her gift to her mother for one Christmas, but that she had read the book before wrapping it on Christmas […]
Beauty Break
Over lunch break, instead of eating lunch or reading a book, I decided to head over to Sasa, located near Carrefour in Suntec City second floor. This morning I had noticed that my eyebrows were a mess, and I realized that it was time to pay a visit to Sasa‘s resident makeup artist for a […]
Mystery Girl
I started reading mysteries back in Grade School when I read that my fiction idol, Elizabeth Wakefield of the Sweet Valley Twins series, loved them. It ended up growing on me, and long after I stopped reading about Elizabeth, I still thrived on mysteries. As a child, my staple was Nancy Drew, Bobsey Twins, Hardy […]
Dead Stars
While emailing with a friend today, we somehow got round to the topic of her ex boyfriends. She told me about how her first boyfriend, many years ago, had asked her to elope with him before his grandmother could bring him to America for college. So they made plans, but she changed her mind and […]
Happy VaLEHntines Day
I organized a valentines exchange gift and potluck held at Chi’s and AA’s flat. Our lavish feast included the ultimate food for valentines – chocolate fondue and wine. I loved my gift from Chi which includes a massager (a yellow hand on a stick), a ticket to The Arena club, and a cute teddy bear […]
Mon Dieu, Fondue!
I was supposed to make leche flan for the valentines party, but when I walked into Carrefour Supermarket, I got attracted to the Chocolate Line heart-shaped fondue set which was on sale at less than half price for S$12 (regular price is S$29) with an additional packet of Pure Dark Couverture 53% cocoa chocolate. A […]
(Not) Just Noodles
What do you do when you have a sweet tooth that you want to satisfy but you know that you gotta eat a real meal to satiate your stomach’s basic needs and you only have 10sgd on you? You head over to Just Noodles. Despite the name, it does not serve just noodles, but all […]
