At one point when I was little, I stopped believing in Christmas. I remembered I used to love reading stories about Christmas and I adored Santa Claus, his elves, reindeers, snowman, etc. I would write a letter addressed to Santa and put it into the postbox though there wasn’t any mailing address (or stamp) on […]
Hello peeps! Hope you all had an amazing Christmas holiday last week! I had a week’s break and practically did nothing (didn’t blog too!) too exciting, well, except spending an entire Christmas Eve preparing for a dinner party. And then the rest of the time was spent watching movies, eating and just being lazy. Being a […]
Singapore’s Ultimate Hawker Fest [终极街头美食节] is back for the third year! It’s all about celebrating Singapore’s unique hawker heritage, as part of Singapore’s Jubilee (SG50) celebrations while raising funds for the needy and disadvantaged. All profits from the event will go to more than 32,000 beneficiaries of Touch Community Services, regardless of race and religion. Fellow food bloggers Maureen (misstamchiak), Derrick […]
Couple of weeks back, the husband asked out of the blue if I wanted to catch Cavalia. If it’s a West End show or Broadway musical, he needn’t had to ask because I’d definitely be game for it. But I wasn’t absolutely sure about Cavalia as I didn’t think equestrian arts and acrobatics were my […]
I was invited to a media event last week at Jurong Point together with other bloggers and media friends to tour their latest addition to the mall which is a themed-destination concept “Mongkok” that replicates the bustling streets and markets of Hong Kong. From now till 31 August 2014, there’d be buskers’ performances, roving acts, on-the-spot games and […]
When I first heard “Kiss The Rain” by renowned South Korean pianist and composer, Yiruma, I thought it was a decently good piece but didn’t think much of it only until recently when I came across a wedding video of a Filipino couple that had been circulating online that I felt the tune could be that […]
Woohoo! I’m thrilled that Shape Magazine had featured my Cajun Spiced Salmon recipe (page 95) in their latest 10th Anniversary issue. Alternatively, check out my original recipe post here. Research shows that consuming salmon at least twice a week will lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases, prevent depression (benefits the brain!) and delay brain ageing. Truly […]

风水书上说马年将会是我的旺年因为马是属羊者最好的朋友。财神爷，请让我中多多吧! $$$! 哈哈! 其实我真正想要的是身体健康因为健康就是最好的财富。这几个月来，身体一直出毛病，看了几次医生，又去了两次医院急診。真是痛苦又破财啊! 前几天去探望我奶奶，感触许多。不知不觉又掉眼泪了。剩下的日子越来越少，我对她的挂念和敬爱却越来越深。虽然每年的农历新年都会让我勾起一些过去不愉快的回忆，我知道失去的是不会再回来了，所以我只想放开然后珍惜我现在拥有的才是最重要的。今年的新年会是非常平静的。很多事情，我不再强求，也不再执着。只想平平淡淡过日子。只希望奶奶一切都安好。 我也希望身边的每个人都开心，幸福，健康。 在此祝大家在新的一年里… 身体健康 财源广进 吉祥如意 龙马精神 恭喜发财!
I always frequent Chinatown for its good food but the only time when I feel Chinatown truly comes alive is during the pre-Chinese New Year period. Normally, I try to avoid crowded places but over the weekend, my husband and I decided to venture to Chinatown to bask in the festive mood and revel in […]
The husband gave me a surprise gift last night. It was a Pentax brand retro-style camera and my all-time favourite Forever Friends bear card. I was very touched that my husband managed to find this particular camera because it’s not a popular brand in Singapore. In fact, shops that carry Pentax cameras did not even […]
How time flies! It’s time to get used to changing the last digit of the year on dates again. 2013 seems to be a rather short year for me. Probably because it had been eventful so time just passed more quickly. Despite the bad times and illnesses, I am proud of myself for surviving through […]
Six months were gone in a flash since I moved from my old food blog to this new blog. Thank you all who have walked this journey with me, for giving me a listening ear and for giving me the much needed support and encouragement during the rocky moments and of course, thank you to […]
I was delighted to receive a surprise at my doorstep when I came home on Saturday. A cheery bouquet of sunflowers 🙂 The name of this bouquet is called ‘Rooting For You’. Three simple words but it’s exactly what my dear friend wanted to tell me. I knew her years back when we shared both […]
Some of you are probably not new to Sample Store which is one of the largest product sampling (a.k.a. ‘try-vertising’) platforms in Singapore. It carries more than 100 different brands in store and has up to 100,000 members to date. I joined Sample Store since its early days and have been regularly redeeming products that […]
I can finally bid farewell to unwelcome phone calls and spam text messages come January 2014. I’m sure many of you in Singapore have received countless telemarketing calls from financial institutions and/or insurance companies as well as unsolicited SMSes from property agents, investment firms and the like. Sometimes, they get so frequent, they really get […]
