“I’m already here in Boat Quay,” he texted. “I’ll just walk around for a while.” “Sorry I got tied up at work, but I’m on my way,” I texted back a few minutes later. “Where is Harry’s, by the way?” “It’s near the UOB building,” he replied. “Exit G.” I tried to imagine where the […]
A Tummy Full of Prosperity (Chinese New Year Goodies)
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we did the lo hei tradition at work. First, what is lo hei? The tradition of Lo Hei or Lo Sheng stems from the phrase’s Cantonese meaning of ‘tossing up good fortune’ using Yu Sheng or Fish Salad that symbolises ‘an abundance of wealth and long life’. […]
{Funny Friday} The Feng Shui Master’s Prediction
The Chinese New Year is approaching, so our HR lined up a few CNY-related activities, including a talk by a feng shui master. The session was to be conducted in Mandarin, but they said there would be English translations on the accompanying slides, so I signed up anyway. It turns out they only translated very […]
Birds with No Manners
The birds in Singapore have no manners. That’s right – birds. Those small animals with wings and feathers that fly in the sky and talk to Disney princesses and help them get dressed and stuff. I’m no princess so they don’t treat me well. Last December during my brother’s wedding, I spotted a small bird […]
Milkcow @ The Cathay {Foodee}
Korea’s Milkcow organic soft serve ice cream recently opened a branch in Singapore, and I had a chance to try it after watching Birdman at The Cathay cinema last Saturday. Even though it’s new, it surprisingly has no queues, unlike others of its kind, like Honeycreme and Llaollao. There just around 4 people in front of […]
Creative Sushi Art Workshop by Maki-San and Foodpanda {Foodee}
I was invited to attend a creative sushi art workshop, jointly hosted by Foodpanda and Maki-san. I showed up at Maki-san with my friend Dred in tow, and after registering, we had a fab time taking pictures with the cute Foodpanda mascot. We were then ushered into Maki-san, which had been closed off exclusively for […]
The Price of a Cracked Iphone Screen
Last week, I dropped my iPhone on the floor of Don Quijote restaurant and was shocked when its screen cracked. It could have fallen against the steel legs of the table. I can’t be sure. The annoying thing was I had a tempered glass on and it didn’t help at all. This was a first […]
Don Quijote @ Dempsey Hill {Foodee}
It was Arlyn’s birthday, so we dressed up and celebrated it at Don Quijote, a spanish restaurant at the famous Dempsey Hill. She chose the place because of her current fixation with the Spanish culture. Her brother Armar even insisted that we should converse in Spanish throughout the meal. Err… hermoso lugar! Deliciosa comida! Which […]
The Mystery of the Belgian Chocolates
When I came back to work after 2 weeks of holiday vacation, I found these on my desk. Aside from the two boxes of The Belgian Chocolates, there was a farewell card from my friend Nikki and a post-it note with the words “WHERE WERE YOU?” on my PC’s screen, an inside joke I had […]
Nikki’s Farewell Dinner at the Airport
So I said goodbye to another office friend last December. She applied for an internal transfer to Charlotte, USA. Her last day in our Singapore office was actually on the 24th of December, but since most of us were going home for Christmas, we had to have her send off on the last day that […]
