Of course, I have my own favourite chicken rice stalls, but I’m always on the lookout for new places to try. Chin Chin Eating House at Purvis Street has always been known for their chicken rice, so when I happened to be in the area, I suggested going there for lunch.
It comes in 5 colours! I super love the pink one! I tested the white one out with 7 other bloggers, a couple of weeks ago. We had a field day out and about Singapore with the Taiwanese PKgirls. The PK girls are famous for planking all over Asia. A great way to learn about a new camera...

Daniel Tsou is our fabulous host, who decides mostly what we talk about and basically calls the shots, Yes, he does. I, writer of this bio on Mr Tsou is very much afraid that by commiting this post to words, I will be dragged off in the night by a black Truck, or a Segway more like. O...
travel-inspired spring collection is up on Sephora.com . I'm completely in love with the Airways Palette (US$42) and the Passport Medium Hanging Travel Bag but their US$42 price tags are on the high side. Also loving this cute illustration by Tokidoki creator Simone Legno for the year...

PM Lee encourages Singaporeans to have more babies. The comments from netizens are overwhelming negative. It is so sad that Singapore has now reached this negative state. PM Lee has a difficult time to reverse the situation. It has gone too far down the road. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/...
I share this story of how a retired school teacher was almost cheated of a large sum of money by investing in gold bars at an inflated price. This type of scam is being applied to other products, such as industrial oil.

I share my views about salaries for ministers. I find the basic salary to be acceptable, but the concept of a high rate of bonus based on performance is bad. Many Singaporeans are not aware that the concept of "pay for performance" has its negative impacts, especially in the public se...

Piers tried to pay me a compliment the other day. “Your skin is so smooth,” he said. I was about to modestly protest when he added, “Like a pumpkin.” “What?” I said. “No, wait,” he said thoughtfully, “Pumpkins aren’t very smooth, are they?” “No, they’re not.” “Okay,” he tried again, “...

but this time around, we’re scouting for style that’s nearer to home. So we picked out some of our favourite looks from our fashion forward neighbour, Singapore.
I have spammed these boots all over Twitter a while ago, so sorry if you have to see it again. I have been lusting after these boots ever since I saw them in On Pedder and Net-a-porter, but I never actually thought I’d buy them. They are like stripper boots on steroids – there’s somet...

OK, I’ve blogged about this before. But let me do it again for the sake of those who just follow my blog recently. I suspect there is a Kum (Mandrin Oranges) Conspiracy. I always wonder why do we exchange Mandrin Oranges during Chinese New Year. I know the word Kum sounds like “Gold” ...
