It’s funny how often I’m surprised at how late I find things out. I’d been visiting Zibin’s flat for 6 years now, and it completely escaped my attention that there was a lovely young family next door. Dad, Mom, an almost 4-yr old girl and a currently 8-mth old little boy. The first time I […]

Never knew healthy food could be this tasty or this chic. I had a lovely dinner for two with my mother today at Aiwo in Raffles City. We had about 12 different dishes, all very tasty…and topped it off with a guilt-free chocolate brownie with soy ice-cream and a strawberry ice-cream with fresh strawberries. Everything […]

Look. Swirl. Nose. Taste. Exhale. It was a night of education in pleasure at the Highwood Wine Cellar where I attended a Wine Appreciation Dinner with Zibin, my sis-in-law and her fiance. “Dinner” was a misnomer as only finger foods were served. But there wasn’t much complaining as the headliners of the evening were not […]

He’s back from Brunei! Didn’t quite realize just how much I’ve missed him till he was back in the backseat of our car with me telling funny stories of his past 10 days in the jungles of Brunei. He may be a 6ft tall ‘lean mean machine’ kinda young man now but his eyes still […]

Had been so long since I went shopping with Yinwei. We always have the MOST fun by-passing stores cos we’re too busy chatting and then entering the few stores that we always go to, and then spending ridiculous lengths of time trying on clothes and swopping clothes to try on each other. And FOOD has […]

Spent the better part of the afternoon yesterday touching base with the Singapore education scene at Suntec City. MOE’s ExCEL(Excellence through Continuous Enterprise and Learning) FEST turned out to be a pretty interesting experience for me. I confess, ever since I began reading abt the new movement towards I&E (innovation and enterprise), promoting creative thinking […]

You Are Coffee Ice Cream Energetic and lively, you are always on the go. You’re doing a million things at once and doing them well. You tend to motivate others and raise spirits. You are most compatible with chocolate ice cream. What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

I know Zibin’s influenced me in big and small ways since we became a couple. I started spouting singlish after 20 years (much to his dismay at first, thought he ‘corrupted’ me). Started eating raw onions. Learned to take more spicy food. Most amazing of all, I actually began to think Stephen Chow is an […]

Went to ICA. Extended my social visit pass till August 21st. Yes, this foreigner is continuing to stay in Singapore legally. Had lunch with Mom @ Ding Tai Fung in J8. Ech… not tt good. Had tea with Yinwei. Chocolate cheesecake. Girl talk. Saw and held her little botak boy. Took SBS 74 from Marymount […]

Today my mom cleared out everything from the cupboards at our veranda. I was tasked to sort them out into piles: keep, throw or give away. Sneezes aside, it was a trip down memory lane for me as I laid eyes on some things I haven’t seen or touched in more than a decade. Colour […]
