One of the cons of being an expat is being far away from your family and the people you grew up with, the culture that defines you. While it’s certainly a lot of fun learning a new culture and making new friends, there are moments when you’re just happy to be the old you, speak […]
Birthday Gifts from Sephora and Victoria’s Secret
Just when I thought I had received all the birthday gifts I could possibly get, I got more. First, I got this email from Sephora: I got this because I’m a Sephora card holder, which I signed up for completely for free. How awesome, right? So before meeting my friends Betchie and Arlyn, I dropped […]
My Birthday Surprise & Picnic
I’m usually a smart kid, quick to pick up on clues to the point that friends have called me a mind reader or even Sherlock which is super flattering because I love that guy, but oh, where was I? Right… I’m usually smart, but for reasons I can’t explain I suddenly turn dumb during my […]

Baby Shower for Balot
Two Saturdays ago, I attended a baby shower for my friend Nikki’s sister Balot (that’s her nickname). It was held in Pasir Ris park. It rained on them while I was on my way there, so the poor guys got wet even though they took shelter under a small roofed hut because the winds were […]

3-in-1 Celebration: Despedida + Bachelorette Party + Baby Shower
Last Saturday, we held a surprise party for three people for three different occasions. Each one of them came to the party thinking that it was a belated birthday celebration for Cate, but it actually wasn’t. We had some activities planned for the party but before we did all that, first things first… TIME TO […]
Free Ice Cream Day
The best things in life are free, like this ice cream that we had in the office pantry this afternoon! They brought in an entire ice cream cart complete with an “uncle” serving ice cream in cones or cups. There was a long queue because there are about 300 of us, but luckily Jen and […]
CNY: Lion and Lo Hei
Today a lion came into our office. He marched to the middle of our pantry where a platter of fruits and vegetables was laid out for him on the floor. He was accompanied by the sound of the drums. The entire platter went into his mouth and he lay down on the floor for quite […]
Arlyn’s Birthday Sleepover @ Goodwood Park Hotel
Arlyn wanted to have a sleepover for her birthday – a sleepover in a hotel. She asked if we could take a VL on the day itself, Jan 14, but unfortunately Yves and Betchie couldn’t. I could, though, so I joined her in checking into a room in Goodwood Park Hotel. It was my first […]
