If you want to have high tea in Singapore, I have just the place for you. It’s called The Salon at Hotel Fort Canning, and it’s affordable and delicious with great service and ambiance. Armar has been dying for us to have high tea for a long time now, and we finally slashed that item […]
Fullhouse Signature @ Clarke Quay {Foodee}
I had pre-Valentine’s dinner with my hometown friends on Friday the 13th. When no one knew where to go, I stepped up and suggested the restaurant I had gone to during the Sample Store Kabloom event a few months ago. It was a good choice. My friends loved the place.
I Met a Real-Life Ross Geller at a Meetup Event
Over the weekend, a friend and I attended our first ever networking event. What is a networking event? It’s a party where you meet new people. We signed up for it using the Meetup app, and paid $10 for the entrance fee which includes a drink (either wine, beer, or cola). Why did we do […]
Things That Happen Every Chinese New Year
Gong xi fa cai! Happy year of the goat! Today is Chinese New Year, the most celebrated holiday in Singapore. Here are some of the things I’ve experienced every CNY. A hong bao or ang pow (red packet) of cash and 2 mandarin oranges are distributed to each employee at our office. Traditionally, married couples […]
A Free Crystal Pendant for the Bride-to-be
My friend Gay and I went wedding shoe shopping last Sunday and I had a really grand time. One of the VPs in our office loves to use that word – grand – and I didn’t realize that it had slipped into my vocabulary. But I don’t mind. It’s grand! Sorry, where was I? Oh […]
Pre-Valentine’s Dinner @ Harry’s Bar, Boat Quay
“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 […]
