I wish to bring to your attention several anomalies regarding the voting process on 7 May 2011. Inconsistencies at Polling Stations 1. Some of our candidates were not allowed in to the Polling Stations to observe the voting process while others were allowed. 2. At some polling station...
We're loving this pair of flattering corduroy shorts inspired from Zara! It was a great hit with the masses when Zara first launched it and we saw this design splashed all over magazines and lookbooks. This season, Zara brought them back and they are currently retailing at the stores ...

I chanced upon this interesting vegetable juice at reena’s blog and I just know I had to try it. I thought it will be fun to post a recipe on ABC juice right after posting my ABC soup recipe, even though these two recipes are not related to each other besides the similar name. The “AB...

Race riots totalled only 2 out of the 6 major riots, and the Malays were involved in a total of 3 out of 6 of the major riots. The Chinese were involved in both the race riots, and were also involved in a total of 5 out of 6 major riots Singapore has ever had in our history. On top of...

Neither side of course wants this to happen. Both want this discomfiture to go away. The slogan of “a gentler, wiser society” borrowed by the Prime Minister to signal a new dispensation of greater sensitivity, concern and communication, reinforces an earlier one of “gracious society”....
I was one of the lucky few to be able to lay my hands on this dress as it was sold out minutes into the launch. When I first saw this dress on http://twitter.com/hollyhoque , I knew I had to get it! Other than the absolutely pop colour, the pretty pleats and the braid rope which accen...
The very first gown I took was this! I remember seeing this dress over the facebook page and it was the first dress I was looking for. The night before, Chester and I was looking through the gowns online and I showed him a few that I want to try for our shoot. I was torn between getti...
I’m actually typing this entry on board a flight to Hong Kong... Yes I know my motion sickness will kick in, in less than an hour’s time. Well what to do? I have like tons of backdated post to clear and besides, I love drafting my blog post with Microsoft words. J
Once upon a time, there lived a Princess in a little modern island. This Princess, not rich nor pretty, strangely gets invited to events quite frequently. One day, this Princess together with a couple of other bloggers, goes for an event and meets this model who was/is apparently a fa...
