I don’t read as often as I used to, but I have managed to read these books recently. I thought they were all worthwhile reads, so I wanted to share, in case anyone out there wanted to get her hands on a book and didn’t know which one to crack open. These three books are […]

Fart Tartz Cafe {Foodee}
On my 6th year anniversary in Singapore, I decided to celebrate by seeking out a cafe that I had never been to before, and found myself in Fart Tartz in Max Atria (Expo). I know. Funny name for a place that sells food, right? I loved that the place was huge and spacey and quiet, […]

Because it’s fun and for a good cause – raising awareness and funds for ALS. My favorite so far is the one done by […]
The Cat Cafe @ Bugis
What do you when you love cats but can’t have one for your own in Singapore? You go to a cat cafe, that’s what. Okay so that intro is hardly original. I used it for my dog cafe post. Oops. 😛 Might as well use the next few paragraphs of that post, eh? First things […]
