I Had Two Cakes and Ate Them Too

by

We were still all up at midnight when Cate stood up and announced that she wanted to drink water. When she opened the door, Gelle and Joey burst singing into the room with a small cake and a bottle of faux wine. Awww!!! Thanks again you guys!! You didn’t really have to give me a […]

Kuya Tupe’s Birthday Letter

by

Aww, was brought to tears when I read Tupe’s open letter to me in his blog. Tupe was a college classmate whom I called Kuya (big brother) just because he was born a year ahead of our batch. He gamely allowed me to and called me his little sister. In many ways, he did seem […]

A Fuzzy Ducky Birthday Surprise

by

After walking around Chinatown and Ion Orchard, Cate, Chu and I finally got home where a surprise was waiting for me – spaghetti aglio oglio, fried chicken, black forest cake, banderitas, party hats crowns, and a room full of friends yelling “Happy Birthday!” the princess and the cherries (now that’s a new fairy tale) crowned […]

Joelle Wedding

Joey and Gelle finally set their civil wedding date to July 19. Before that date, of course we had to have a bridal shower for Gelle. I set the schedule to 14, the date when our friend Kes would be in Singapore for a stopover then invited Gelle’s gal pals over to our house. We […]

Chi’s Marche Birthday

We had a belated birthday celebration for Chi at Marche in Vivo City last night. Marche is a swiss restaurant that has several clusters of cooking stations that you have to visit to get your order, and each time you order, your food card gets swiped, and you will pay it at the counter. There […]

A Singaporean Christmas

by

Twas the day before Christmas, and at 10:30 AM, the big boss Patrick Huang sent an email, giving me two reasons to smile. The first reason was his name. No, it’s not a funny name, I just find it amusing that it sounds so much like the name of the big boss of the company […]

Donut Bite (a Halloween Special)

by

One of the pics we entered under Cate’s name in the Donut Empire photo challenge won a $50 donut voucher. Last night, we attended the halloween-themed awarding ceremony held in Tanjong Katong…or rather, I did. Gelle and Cate arrived after the ceremony was done, but still in time to load up on free-flowing donuts and […]

Khatib Acoustic Night

by

“Pinay?” This was the question that started my journey to Khatib to join an acoustic night which turned out to be a birthday celebration of two Pinays. I brought Cate along with me, and we ended up having a lot of fun. We were clapping and screaming just as hard as the people who actually […]
