i remember secondary school friends lining up to get doodled by me. we'd bring zebra markers to school and head to the girls' toilet during break and i'd be drawing temporary tattoos for them. and Mel C's (of Spice Girls) tattoos were sooo popular at that time, i'd be inking "Girl Pow...
It's May. I have gotten the same bug as Sharmie. Everyone IS going everywhere BUT ME. -hugs sharms and cries pitiful tears- I miss travelling. Haven't been to any major cities this year and I am itching to go somewhere pretty and be on holiday mood. I am really sorry about the lack of...
been hit hard by wanderlust these days - i blame the internet for this. the constant feed on coachella pics, then the influx of sakura blossoms everywhere. my sister just flew to taiwan this morning and the folks are heading to hongkong in a few days' time, then they're leaving me aga...
Apologies for the lack of updates on the blog but we have been busy these days with more work and moving to the new office :( Am off for a sourcing trip tomorrow so its gonna be another busy week ahead, wish me luck! A bit low on ootds these days cos my skin reacted to something and a...
Because community - the rich kind, the transforming kind, the valuable and difficult kind - doesn’t happen in partial truths and well-edited photo collections on Instagram. Community happens when we hear each other’s actual voices, when we enter one another’s actual homes, with actual...
It has become a routine. I always shop more post-CNY, in the first half of the year. I blame Zara's Spring/Summer goodies and everything floral and printed out there. Sighs. Have been kept busy at work looking for new designs (especially rompers cos of sneaky personal preferences, hah...
Keisuke Tonkotsu King, which was so stuffy and hot we got in, ate our share, and got out, all in less than half an hour. the noodle texture was awesome, soup was oily but very flavourful, but the chashu was so-so.. not sure if i'll be back given the lack of ambience but i'd recommend ...
oh gosh craving it badly in the midst of this crazy summer heat right now... am so gonna try and get the boy to bring me there after dinner later. muahaha.
sweet as sugar and everything nice Been a while since I posted cos I was recovering from post CNY binge and suffered a mild scare last week when I had a sudden breakout and tiny bumps appeared out of nowhere all over my face. It was red, patchy and itchy and I google-d til I went mad ...
a kitchen set with stoves that can light up and a washing area; carrots and eggs stuck together by velcro so you can 'cut' them up with your knife on a plastic chopping board and a hello kitty toaster!! don't get me started on her sushi set and rice cooker.
Lunar New Year is probably my favourite holiday of the year, more so when I was young and had tons of red packets, free flow of snacks and sugary drinks and yay! gambling! Now I am giving away red packets awkwardly and trying to be grown-up entertaining guests at the new house. Weird....
Finally gotten around to making resolutions for this new year. I do this every year since I was 16 or so, most of the time they don't work out, but still, I refuse to break the tradition. Haha. #1. Eat clean, live healthy. Super inspired after watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead . In s...
this year, we didn't specifically make any designs super oriental nor traditionally mandarin because we believe in the 'wearability' of apparels! ie. we want you girls to be able to still wear our items after the festivities are over! so we made do with the use of lace, florals, chiff...
Its January and everyone is busy making resolutions. Or detox-ing. Which is not a bad idea because of all the feasting from Christmas to New Year's Eve and onwards to my HK trip, I came back to SG disoriented and sluggish. I also occasionally can't get to sleep well and everyone would...
am super bogged with work this particular week after flying in & out of SG for leisure/business trips but I am happy. I like working. I am a secret workaholic. Haven't had the chance to update in a long while, cos I kept telling myself to blog, but kept finding other stuff to do. Erps...
glad i got to experience it by myself after hearing so much from other people and admiring the 101 fireworks from the telly screen every year. and amidst all the crowd jostling, crazily low temperatures, and the neverending walk after the countdown to get a cab back to our hotel - i w...
Tuesday, January 1, 2013 twenty 13. HAPPY NEW YEAR peeps!!! :) feeling super efficient this morning so I woke up specially to blog. Plus post my whole backlog of pics from xmas til now. Oops. If you are on my instagram (@passionade) you would probably have seen them already! But maybe...
and since temperatures are going to dip there, i've been thinking of how to mix and match my outfits a 'lil more. if you don't already know, i lovvvvvvve dressing up for winter.
you light up my world like nobody else I started this week with a seriously huge problem. It became so huge that this question kept running through my mind, "Did they teach ironing in home econs last time?? Did I not attend that class?? WHY IS IRONING A SHIRT SO TOUGH?!!!!" I am not k...
aside from all the bad things that have happened to me this year, i just hurt a nerve on my neck after a horrible, horrible massage sesh from an overzealous masseuse and it was giving me bad tension headaches - so much that a slight cough or a sneeze would send me into a state of pain.
as of now, I am sitting in the middle of MY living room, blogging, and feeling as happy as a pig. Albeit a somewhat dusty one cos there are still reno works going on all around me, but still... H-A-P-P-Y. :)))) been working my ass off for the house the past 2 weeks, coupled with some ...
if you don't already know, i'm not a very feminine dresser so i'd definitely throw on a faux leather jacket to toughen up this skirt! plus booties, which i lovvveee. i've recently got myself one of 'em jackets and had hoped i would wear it everywhere but the stupid erratic singapore w...
celebrated little gan's twenty-something with a quiet dinner at chikuwa tei, some vino at wine connection, and a super impromptu dancing sesh at china one, hahaha. aside from the weird men and sleazy douchebags that night, we did have quite a lot of fun, didnt we?
Let the sky fall, when it crumbles Popping by for a quick update cos tomorrow is a holiday (whooppppeeeee!!) and that probably means I won't be updating til don't-know-when. Life has been the usual same-old, same-old, just that the house is finally nearing completion and i have spent ...
both the knit pullover and this halter piece will be previewed at KissJane Vivo so if you want to be ahead of everyone else and not have to camp for the launch, do head down tomorrow on the grand opening to grab these lovelies! there's also a 15% storewide discount coupon that can be ...
You know, if you ever want to detox after a bout of heavy eating, you should try the rice gruel diet. I have been on it for 3 days and I swear i lost weight. Or maybe its just cos I am either puking or eh-hem, using other methods to remove food from my body. I am suffering from a part...
wanted to head to ratchada night market and the JJ night market thereafter so we hopped into a cab - the driver took us everywhere but. spent like almost an hour in the freaking cab and even though the meter read less than 10 dollars when we got off, it was sucha waste of our time! co...

Some people develop obsessions with shoes. Ballet flats, red soles, chunky perspex heels (hmmm, very nice indeed) I...like bags. That might be the greatest understatement of the year but its okay, I like being deluded as well. Its impossible how I can go Europe, come back chastened, a...
listening to faith paloma on replay right now and updating my running tracks.. and since i'm at it i'm also arranging my icons and folders on my desktop and backing up some stuff...
