Meet Alexe Mac

by

I couldn’t sit still the whole day because I was so excited for work to be over and I could rush over to the IT show in Suntec and finally buy a laptop worthy of my childhood dreams. While I was still studying, we could not afford a computer, so I used up all my […]

Magic Babe

by

For last Valentine’s Day’s exchange gift, Cate and I received entrance tickets to The Arena club in Clarke Quay for February 28. We thought it was just an ordinary night club, but when I finally got around to finding out where it was, I discovered that this club housed the first permanent illusion show in […]

Bad Gifters

by

I was talking to a new friend about books, and she asked me if I had already read The Lovely Bones. I said no, and she proceeded to tell me about how that had been her gift to her mother for one Christmas, but that she had read the book before wrapping it on Christmas […]

Happy VaLEHntines Day

by

I organized a valentines exchange gift and potluck held at Chi’s and AA’s flat. Our lavish feast included the ultimate food for valentines – chocolate fondue and wine. I loved my gift from Chi which includes a massager (a yellow hand on a stick), a ticket to The Arena club, and a cute teddy bear […]

Mon Dieu, Fondue!

by

I was supposed to make leche flan for the valentines party, but when I walked into Carrefour Supermarket, I got attracted to the Chocolate Line heart-shaped fondue set which was on sale at less than half price for S$12 (regular price is S$29) with an additional packet of Pure Dark Couverture 53% cocoa chocolate. A […]

(Not) Just Noodles

by

What do you do when you have a sweet tooth that you want to satisfy but you know that you gotta eat a real meal to satiate your stomach’s basic needs and you only have 10sgd on you? You head over to Just Noodles. Despite the name, it does not serve just noodles, but all […]

Singaporean Barbeque

by

My officemate invited me to her cousin’s barbeque held in Costa Sands Resort. I asked her what occasion was being celebrated, since it was a week night and all. But there was no occasion, this was just something that Singaporeans like to do, that is, rent a chalet on a week night, throw some stuff […]

Red Mango Frozen Yogurt

by

I am a huge fan of yogurt, most especially of frozen yogurt. The best one I’ve come across so far is Red Mango. The tart frozen yogurt was first introduced in Korea but later became the rave in the United States. Singapore is lucky to have one store located in Suntec City Mall ground floor […]

Singaporean KTV

by

Today is my teammate Eileen’s birthday, and she invited me to go to the KTV with her and her friends from the office – Di from our team, and Su, How Yang and Michael from the neighboring cubicles. Funny coincidence that exactly a year ago, Jen, my teammate then, also had her birthday and we […]

Once Upon a Time in Chinatown

by

It was a day at the gym that ended up as a day pigging out on dry chili crab (which is surprisingly yummy, though I still prefer the ones with sauce) at a Chinatown hawker’s stall and sizzling rocky road sundae in Swensen’s. Talk about ironic. Turns out it was good timing to visit Chinatown, […]
