Ever since my health started going downhill, my husband had been my greatest pillar of strength. I woke up this morning and took a moment to count my blessings. I might not have 100% good health but I’m lucky and blessed to have a kind, caring and patient husband who is always there when I […]
I thought by preparing for the worst in my health situation, it would probably lessen the impact should any bad news come my way. I had really tried looking at the brighter side of things and wished that the big lump on my neck was probably just an infection of the thyroid gland and that […]
For many years, I had used the ‘cotton-puff-with-bottled-cleansing-lotion’ method to clean away makeup on my face every night before makeup remover wipes became my new best friend. And because I have oily/combination, eczema-prone and sensitive skin, I would only pick oil-free products that wouldn’t clog pores or make my face feel even oilier, stickier or […]

We sent off ACGG on her final journey yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s because reality hasn’t sunk in yet or if everything has happened too quick but I know I was exceptionally calm and composed throughout her funeral in the last 3 days. This morning, many thoughts kept pouring into my mind. I was […]
I had reviewed Pho Street @ Westgate more than a year ago and I still remembered how much I had enjoyed that pho soup broth. This time round, I was invited to a media tasting at their second outlet in Bedok Mall because they had a new Vietnamese chef aboard who had rolled out a […]
It’s once again the time of the year to prowl through the festive bazaars at Geylang Serai to sniff out some interesting new eats.
