Recently I was talking to a friend of mine about a boy. Isn’t it almost always about a boy? Or should I say, at our age, about a man? “I’m hoping that I’ll be okay by his wedding,” she sighed, as I imagined Adele crooning “Never mind I’ll find someone like you” in the background. […]
6 Things That Happen When You Move Abroad
6 years ago to the day, I landed in Singapore with a trolley full of my most precious possessions and a food keeper full of instant noodles and canned goods, AKA food I eat whenever I move to a new city and don’t have a job yet so I need to be thrifty. There was […]
My Guilty Pleasures
I decided to join in on this month’s Total Social and post my guilty pleasures at this particular moment in time! (1) Watching celebrities participate in the ALS ice bucket challenge.

Sometimes I Find Solace in Being Solitary
Last Sunday, I went to church then decided to go on an impromptu trip to the beach… by myself. I took the MRT to Vivo City and took another train to Sentosa island. I was wearing a long, thick Sunday frock with high heeled cork wedges, something that is completely NOT suitable for the beach, […]
The Blogmopolitan Quiz

And the Oscar for Best Mom Goes to…
… my mother, obviously. I found this trophy in a novelty shop in Junction 8, and it’s still on her way to her, late for Mother’s Day, because unfortunately I am not the best daughter. Happy mothers’ day to all mothers! Let’s connect! | Bloglovin | Twitter | Facebook |
What Makes a Home a Home?
