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 […]

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 […]
