Have you ever wondered where one will go when life ends? I have thought about it before. Though we can never get an answer till the day we depart. Our love for the person who leaves us will only get stronger and memories would stay till the end of time… Meteor Garden by Geri Tan […]

I’m a big fan of The Face Shop’s mask sheets because they are made of natural ingredients, extracted from plants, fruits and herbs that we all know about. I have sensitive skin so I am extra cautious when it comes to choosing the right skincare products for myself. I have used Face Shop’s masks for […]

When John and I first broke up many years ago, we tried to move on with our lives but we never did forget each other. I always thought about him even though we weren’t even talking and the distance and time lost between us only preserved our love. When we found each other again, we […]

One of my favourite trekking routes in Singapore, the Southern Ridges comprises 10 km of green, open spaces that connect Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, HortPark, Kent Ridge Park and Labrador Nature Reserve. The walk is long but it isn’t a difficult one as the parks are all linked by foot trails and […]

If you’re into cooking and baking like me or you’re in the food business in Singapore, then Sia Huat is a place not to be missed. It is the leading choice of suppliers for many hospitality establishments and it boasts a large array of tableware, kitchenware, food service products and equipment. Its retail outlet at […]

Sometimes, I wish life could be a little kinder to me but I wish I could be even more kinder to myself. There’s only so much I can do. My husband always say I’m too hard on myself even though I’ve already done my best. Everyday I have to keep reminding myself that a lot […]

I’m proud of myself for making the first step today. Talking to S gave me a new outlook. I am glad (and thankful) for having an understanding soul like her in my life. Hopefully it will put me on the road to recovery and let me find back my old bubbly self. I never realised […]

Prawn fishing has been a much enjoyed leisure activity for many in Singapore. The anticipation of landing a bite, the thrill of hooking a catch and the live grilling of your prized trophies at the end of the day are probably what make prawning a fun sport for people of all ages. Hai Bin @ […]

This poem reflected the many times I felt my heart dropped during my teen years while juggling with my studies, my grandfather’s passing, family problems and the depression that followed… Fears by Geri Tan Walk into a hall with paper and gear What you get is the feeling of fear Out of a room with […]

My husband and I felt adventurously motivated to take a brisk walk (approx. 6.5km) to Junction 8 via the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park route. It was also my first return to the park in more than 10 years and it is just amazing to see how much Bishan Park has changed since the 90s. I […]

Heroine by Geri Tan If only I were the pen you were holding I would know what you were writing On the pages of your most trusted friend Ink tells us a story A story that was never meant to be As dramatic as it could be The author of this very story is the […]

I wrote this poem in remembrance of a special friendship that wasn’t treasured when we parted ways. The ‘lift and escalator in our houses’ conversation… The ‘lemonade & orange juice’ code names… The cute stray kitten that we looked after… Jack’s Place… Famous Amos’ double chocolate chip with pecan cookies… Thank you for the memories. […]

I realised I have written poems for a couple of special people in my life but I’ve never penned one for Grandma. If you’ve read my earlier post about my Grandma, you’d know how much she means to me. I was a lonely child. And only my Grandma held my hand. I really wish I could […]

Whenever I’m feeling down, I have a habit of standing by the window at night and looking at the sky. Sometimes, I see stars near and far. Sometimes, a crescent or full moon. All of them seem to be comforting me from above… Starry Night by Geri Tan Starry starry night I look out of […]

I came across these magic hair pads on Qoo10 when I was hunting for interesting knick knacks and was quite intrigued by the listing description on the usefulness of these pads. These pads were also highly recommended by the popular Taiwanese beauty talk show 女人我最大. Actually these pads are really just standard velcro that we see […]
