I went back to TFS Bistrot, this time with Gelle, for her belated birthday dinner. We wanted to have cheese fondue but it turns out that it’s off-season for that, so we ended up ordering food that I had already tried last time – escargot, duck leg confit with foie gras, giant profiteroles and rose […]
The Stranger in the Bar Queue
While in the queue into 1 Altitude bar a couple nights ago, the guy ahead of us turned to us and said, “Welcome to Singapore! I’m from the tourism board.” Now we knew he was joking because he was caucasian and obviously not a Singaporean, so we laughed. He said a lot of other things […]
The Stranger in the Elevator
Kids, I’m gonna tell you an incredible story… the story of how I met my boyfriend. On the first day of February 2012, my work started at noon, so instead of buying my usual hawker food lunch, I bought a sandwich from the cafe on the first floor of my building. I chose my favorite […]
My First Pulau Ubin Adventure
So there’s this island in Singapore called Pulau Ubin that is known for being one of the last rural areas in Singapore. Nantoy has been inviting us to go there since last year and we finally had a chance to go yesterday. It was really awesome except for when I got thrown off my bike […]
Chuan Yi Pin Barbeque Steamboat Buffet
Gay suggested going for a steamboat dinner in Bugis yesterday, so we went with Maya. I had heard of the place before but it was my first time to go there. We found the place right across the street from Bugis Junction – it’s called Chuan Yi Pin. The name isn’t written in English, though, […]
When Pranker Turns Prankee
When I went to the Siloso Beach countdown party, I had two sets of friends with me – from my office and from my hometown. As I conversed with my hometown friends in our local dialect, Chavacano, Nantoy overheard us and asked us to teach him some Chavacano words. Anne obliged by teaching him what […]
Arlyn’s Birthday in Marina Bay Sands
Arlyn decided to celebrate her birthday with me and Betchie by checking into Marina Bay Sands hotel, Singapore’s most famous hotel of the moment. So last Friday the thirteenth, Arlyn and I checked in first as we had taken vacation leaves while Betchie followed after office hours. We checked in and got a key to […]
Siloso Beach Party (New Year Countdown 2012)
I was actually a bit apprehensive about spending my new year the same way I did on the worst year of my life – 2009 – but when Anne asked if I wanted to spend New Year’s eve at Asia’s biggest countdown party, I thought that was a more legendary way to start the last […]
Hello 2012!
…dary! To understand that, you have to read my last 2011 post. 😉 2012 is actually an important year for me, not just because the world might end then, but well, actually, because a world is indeed coming to an end for me – the twenties world. Ack! Funny thing is I don’t have concrete […]
Goodbye 2011
So another year is winding down to a close and we are gearing up for the last year before the world will end… if we believe those Mayans, anyway. My 2011 was awesome, high up on my list of favorite years. Here’s a recap of what happened: – I got my own room again after […]
