There is, it is said, a burly man who haunts the neighbourhood, wearing a bare back and brandishing a large pair of scissors. He's no whippersnapper, it seems, and there is considerable doubt as to the purpose of his tool, which appears to be an open invitation to play an old game, wi...
If you’ve bought our recently launched chiffon pleated dress or waterfall blazer and have fallen in love with this range from our new supplier, this is another highly raved and recommended item. The fall of this vest has been researched and the longest time has been spent to select th...

and it has totally rocked my world! Chapel Street was inspired by a favourite shopping haunt of mine in Melbourne which has everything from high fashion cult brand outlets to mass brands and discount outlets, so no one goes home empty handed ever. That meant that every trip down the s...
Yup, that's an economy class meal. My upgrade request didn't go through today, as the long haul was heavily overbooked thanks to Qantas passengers scrambling to find other flights. Sure, they are on a different alliance, but Heathrow to Singapore is one of Qantas' busiest routes. It's...
Hello all, how is it going for everyone of you? While everyone was lamenting about the end of September, I’m glad at least that October has came to an end. No, it hasn’t been a bad one for me- though it did start out with an emotionally bleak few days where I thought about how unfair ...

Let's just make it straight that the string theory does exist. And I am proof that it does. I'[m talking here about getting strung along -- getting taken for a ride. I'll explain more in greater details, off to catch a flight this AM.
Currently, clients who wish to engage the services of a financial planner often face the following problems: With so many financial planners to choose from, how can clients know who to trust? How should clients compare the different schemes offered by financial planners? How can clien...

Went for a dye to a lighter colour about 3 weeks back! Though it's still not the colour I want yet, so I'm going back to dye it soon to even a lighter shade cause in real life it's still alittle bit yellow (I think)! Oh! And its the also the first time I bleach my hair too! And I thin...

I am sure you will agree that it's sad a supposedly global company has to resort to threats. Pure juvenile behaviour. Well I'm just a blogger. But like many of my fellow bloggers, we have a voice. 11,327 people have read this post . That's a voice that has reached out to thousands. Hah!
Whoever owns Keystone Restaurant really has a thing for rocks. "By its nature, a Keystone is an architectural feature, which... encompasses strength and resilience, and its mighty characteristics make it the most integral part of every structure", the restaurant's website declares. Fa...
The Table Tennis Women's World Cup has just ended and the eventual winner belonged to China again. When I was watching the quarterfinals line up, though different nations were represented, most of the players were China-born. This led me think what had China done to keep churning out ...
I do not know much about Canada. One thing that is very refreshing about the US is that generally, people are not brand conscious. In a lot of sense, people are less materialistic and much to my surprise, there is a lot of focus on family. This is very different from what is portrayed...
C to me: I’m dictating a reply to you using Siri. Me to C: Don’t be lazy!!! C: Hehehe. She read me the message you sent me earlier, including the “haha”. Funny. Me: Okay, let’s try this. Get her to read this message… Me: Wah lao eh! Why you so like that huh? C: Haha, just did. Me: Did...
My generation is not that computer savvy to follow the latest trends in technology. What I discovered is that anything that is worth buying and carrying to show off starts with i. I am getting to be familiar with iphone, ipad, icloud, i computing, but not really know what they can do ...
How is it that after so long, I still feel something towards him? Even I am surprised at myself. Cousin drew an analogy for this - "it's like putting all of those thoughts and feelings into a room. If you do not open it, you'll be OK. If you do, however..." I prefer to describe my sit...
Grace and I went to church today and I ended up uber late because I got lost, yet again. I need to really improve my sense of direction, so frustrating you know! Service was really amazing -- it was full on 1.5 hours praise and worship, so sometimes, you just need the time to quieten ...
I wasn't originally planning to come here today. But I was short on time and needed a quick lunch before checking out of the hotel, so I made a quick stop at Borough Market to see what I could get. I ended up getting some of these very briny but tasty local oysters along with a cup of...
Apart from the actual SMS-ing, my friends have been quick to appoint themselves as members of the Gimme a Five campaigning team. Their desire for me to win exceed my own enthusiasm. In fact, a number of them objected to my post on the interim results. “How can you tell people you’re l...
When everyone is still sleeping soundly, a group of us decided to spend our lovely morning capturing the beautiful sunrise at Tanah Merah Beach. Approximately 20 "crazy" (yes, I think we are mad) photographers, carrying our torchlights and gears, met at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. We ...
I respect the actions taken by the Australian unions in fighting for the rights and job security of their members. Many businesses find ways to increase their profits at the expense of their workers, and the profits can be absurdly large. I do not know if, in the case of Qantas, the a...
I was at Semakau again 3 days after the last trip. I was the guide for students from Bedok View Sec, a group of young, enthusiastic and fun people. We are glad the weather was good and the hunter seeker did a very good job. We saw a lot of very interesting animals that can only be see...

The Red Dot Design Museum is probably one of the most under-rated museums in Singapore and is in many ways different from the typical museum that celebrates the past. As a museum that showcases the best in design, some of which will set the stage for things to come, this museum celebr...
I met with the lovely Madam Cher Yam Tian recently following the controversial claims made by the Malaysian Tourism Minister. I wanted to meet the lady who invented the Chilli Crabs way back in the 1950's. At the time, she and her husband were living in an Attap House along Upper East...
1. Fry pork slices in wok. When pork is entirely cooked on the surface, take out and set aside on a plate. 2. Heat butter in wok. Saute garlic, onions and salted fish till fragrant. Then add pumpkin, mushrooms and stir fry for a short while. 3. Add uncooked rice and fry till the onion...
I was pleasantly surprised to find out last week that Bak Kut Teh is a Singapore invention too! At least according to Mr Frankie Gwee from this Bak Kut Teh stall. He told me in no uncertain terms that Bak Kut Teh actually started around the Clarke Quay/River Valley area back in the po...
