I thought I had it all figured out. After chatting with the girls yesterday, I was convinced that I’ll be doing my Masters locally, saving me all the worry about finances and whatnot. Then I re...
The second day of the Lunar New Year was all about FOOD. Lunch at my uncle’s was gut-busting. My aunt cooks really, really well so you can imagine how tormenting it was to have to control my in...
Growing up, receiving a red packet during the Lunar New Year was nothing short of exciting. I’d happily spread out all the packets on my bed at night and delight in counting my day’s R...
Did everyone have a great first day of the Lunar New Year? I spent all day at home entertaining guests, discussing aquariums (I’m thinking of getting a new pet fish) and babysitting in between....
I’m not the biggest fan of the Lunar New Year. Believe it or not, there’s too much fanfare for my liking, not to mention the garish decor, and don’t even get me started on the music...
Not because I’m a pessimist, but mostly because I don’t think I can ever afford a house lavish or opulent enough to have bathrooms like these. Although… using concrete as a feature ...
Watch The only makeup you’ll ever need, because Fotoshop by Adobé is the only one with Pro-Pixel Intensifying Fauxtanical Hydro-Jargon Microbead extract that will leave your face virtually unre...
Seriously. If only someone would pay me to watch TV for a living. I reckon I’d do a really good job analysing story lines, characterisations, filtering the hits from the misses. It’s no e...
Anyone who knows me knows how incapacitated I get around babies. I get reduced to a distracted, incoherent, squealing mess. It’s worse if the baby is family. One that I can cuddle and coddle. W...
About a week after I got back from NYC last December, I headed out to Krabi with a few of my work buddies for a little more R&R, cos clearly, leaving New York was too much for my wee heart to ha...
(Part I here, Part II here) 9. Have breakfast/brunch at the gorgeously quaint Elephant & Castle I was slightly hesitant about putting this place on the list, but it was only because I didn’...
Amid all the revelry, I want to thank God for… 1. Giving us the best gift of all – His Love, which is so magnificent that it translates into… 2. Comfort for all times I felt lost, 3...
(Part I here) 5. Be inspired by modern masterpieces at MoMA This picture needs no introduction, but believe me, this is not the reason why anyone should visit the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). I perso...
Rather than a day-to-day recap, I thought it might be more useful to share with you 20 things I really enjoyed during my trip, so it can help you in your future planning, should you ever decide to vi...
(Previous countdown posts: 70 days, 60 days, 50 days, 40 days, 30 days, 20 days, 10 days, 5 days, 3 days, 1 day) I’m heading off to the airport now for that long, long journey to the Big Apple....
(Previous countdown posts: 70 days, 60 days, 50 days, 40 days, 30 days, 20 days, 10 days, 5 days, 3 days) And here we are, in the 25th hour before I board that 747 and bear a gruelling 23-hour flight...
(Previous countdown posts: 70 days, 60 days, 50 days, 40 days, 30 days, 20 days, 10 days, 5 days) So, my mood has been incredibly upbeat since the week started. No prizes for guessing why. ;) In fact...
(Previous countdown posts: 70 days, 60 days, 50 days, 40 days, 30 days, 20 days, 10 days) This final week is getting me so incredibly excited that I don’t feel coherent; forgive me if this post...
(Previous countdown posts: 70 days, 60 days, 50 days, 40 days, 30 days, 20 days) Can you believe it? Exactly two weeks from now, I’ll be in Manhattan. *hyperventilates* When I started this coun...
I’ve always been in awe of A Cappella groups. It’s really not easy harmonizing with other singers and filling in for all the instruments; how they are able to make such a tight sound usin...
Now that’s a phrase that makes me squeal with girlish delight. :p I don’t know what it is that this Swedish giant does, but it always makes my favourite holiday look so gorgeous. It makes...
As far as the perfect start to the week goes, today certainly ranks high up there among the best Mondays I’ve had in a long, long while (not like I can remember a better Monday, but I didn̵...
(Previous countdown posts: 70 days, 60 days, 50 days, 40 days, 30 days) I can’t believe the big New York trip is happening in less than 3 weeks!! *breathe breathe* I don’t wanna think abo...
This. This is exactly how I want my future apartment to look. Save a few details here and there, this is without a doubt, my ideal apartment. I am loving all the bursts of colour that is more cheerfu...
I’d originally wanted to share this story a couple of months ago, but I’d completely forgotten about it until last evening. Back in August, when my grandpa was in the last stage of his li...
(Previous countdown posts: 70 days, 60 days, 50 days, 40 days) Ever since we got our air tickets settled, Dia and I made it a point to cut back on the shopping so we can “go crazy” in New York. ̷...
Can you believe 2011 will be over in a couple of months? Well, I sure am glad, cos this year has been… exhausting to say the least. Then again, when has it not been exhausting? That’s how...
(Previous countdown posts: 70 days, 60 days, 50 days) Perhaps it’s because I’m a born and bred city girl, but I’d pick gorgeous buildings over rolling greens any day. With its urban...
So I’m stuck at home on a Friday night, working. Trust me, this was not what I had in mind when the week started. I was supposed to go out. Paint the town red. Y’know, party hard. Riiiigh...
I’m starting a semi-regular feature of my favourite finds on Etsy. Because like many, I have plenty of love for handmade, gorgeous things. :) . . . . . Appreciate wit? Think some (healthy) sarc...
