Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I remembered when I was little (probably 5 years old), I found an old Christmas stocking somewhere in the house so I hung it by my bed, hoping for Santa to stop by to fill up my stocking with little surprises. I slept early, told myself not to […]
These days, I’m starting to get lazy when it comes to making up my face as I prefer to just slap on some sunscreen (and the most BB cream) and then go out au naturel. Two months ago, I got the husband to buy this Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion for me from the duty […]
Recently, there have been quite a number of local TV programmes depicting Singapore in its early days, things that we grew up with and food/snacks that we used to eat when we were little kids. These certainly brought back some nostalgic childhood memories for me. And so happened I was walking around the Arab Quarter […]
This beautiful poem was written by another website reader of mine. It’s really uplifting especially during moments when you fall and don’t have the strength to stand up again. Sometimes all we need is just something to hang on to… Life isn’t a Bed of Roses by Elise Thick and thin you’ll go through all […]
I went to the salon and had my waist-length hair cut to just below the shoulder. And I felt good about it because psychologically, it was a therapeutic experience. It was like lifting a stone off me after it weighed down on me for ages. Anyway, my thick and heavy hair had caused my scalp […]
I am not much of a techie compared to the husband so writing this review is really a challenging task for me as I don’t know the right lingo to use. But as this product is not currently (officially) available in Singapore yet, I think it’s worth taking a closer look at it before making […]
The second poem written by one of my old-time website readers, Amit. A very lovely and inspiring one. Enjoy. Amit, thanks for sharing once again. I would love to see more of your works coming through. Let’s continue to inspire, like what we used to do. Friendship by Amit Friendship is the kind of love […]
I had received this poem contribution from an acquaintance who was a regular visitor of an old website of mine. That was like 8-9 years ago when I was self-learning HTML and trying to create a personal website for myself on Yahoo GeoCities. Amit often shared stories on friendship and life and started penning two […]
It’s shopping time again! Here’s a glimpse of my Daiso shopping haul accumulated over two trips… When I picked up this pretty floral clothes hanger, an auntie (probably in her 50s) who was just standing near me, suddenly grabbed my hanger and suggested that I buy velvet hangers from Qoo10 as they are ‘non-slip and […]
The final instalment of my What to buy from South Korea? series. Click here for Part 1 and Part 2. Husband’s brother and sister-in-law had highly recommended him to buy cheesecake from Paris Baguette, one of the top bakery chains in Korea. So he got the cake as well as a few other items from the outlet […]
I wrote this poem to remember this person I met at work who had shared wealth and woe with me during my most difficult times when I was thrown into the deep sea, struggling to keep alive…His words of wisdom were extremely encouraging and always provided the much needed consolation when no one else could […]
Shopping for skincare and beauty products has never been such a big thing for me in my teenage years and when I started working after graduation until when I first went to Korea a few years back and I’ve been hooked on Korean brands since then. Mainly because they are very affordable, that’s why I […]
The husband is back from Seoul. And I feel like I’ve also came back with him. All thanks to communication technology, we were able to keep in touch constantly. Whenever he went sight-seeing with my in-laws, he was able to broadcast ‘live’ sights and sounds which was quite a surreal experience because it was as […]
After our walk at MacRitchie Reservoir, we headed towards the direction of the row of nurseries (flowers & plants) along Thomson Road. I’ve been wanting to bring my husband there for quite some time to check out where cheap flowers can be bought in Singapore. At Far East Flora, you will see a large array […]
Finally bought a new pair of trainers from Nike Factory Outlet at West Coast Plaza. Excited to try out my new shoes, my husband and I decided to do an impromptu walk at MacRitchie Reservoir. And we even brought along a loaf of white bread to see if we might get a chance to feed […]
When I first received the Vaseline Healthy White Perfect 10 Whitening & Anti-Aging Lotion product sample, I then wondered if the lotion was meant for the face, body or both as it wasn’t explicitly mentioned anywhere. Vaseline is known for its body care products so I assume this is from the body care range as […]
