Today was my much awaited ‘Bread Date’ with Jing Jing. Simply Bread was a bread haven that Mary-Ann told me about during our JC days. Back in those days it was just a small little bakery bursting with delightful bread creations. We used to go there on our way home from Hwa Chong and load […]

Dreaming of Toronto
Last night I dreamt that I was visiting Toronto. I dreamt that all my Toronto friends met up with me and we went out to eat and had a great time together. I must be missing Toronto more than I realize… I’ve been uninspired food-wise in Singapore. Whenever Zibin and I are meeting up with […]
Hurting the ones you love
‘The only people who can hurt you are the people you truly love. The only people whom you can hurt are the people who really love you.’ That’s what my friend Duanneng commented on Yinwei’s blog. I think she is right on. If ever you loved deeply, you would also have been hurt deeply. But […]
Hot Yoga Not So Hot
I tried Hot (Bikram) Yoga for the first time at Pure Yoga yesterday. I have to say, I didn’t care very much for it. 25-30 extremely sweaty bodies cramped in a sauna-like room with perspiration beads being dripped and flung about… and with so little space in between yoga mats that I couldn’t even do […]

One of our new electronic acquisitions for the matrimonial home. It all started when Zibin said he needed an alarm clock. But then, as Chandler and Joey would put it, “we took it to the NEXT LEVEL”. And so now we’ve got an alarm clock, radio and iPod speaker system and charger in one. You […]
There's No Place I'd Rather Be
Who would have thought I’d listen to PM Lee deliver his National Day Rally speech with rapt attention for the entire 2 hours without getting out of my seat even once? Who would have thought that listening to his speech about ‘leveling up’ education and about Singapore’s future, I’d be moved till my eyes were […]
Dawn
Taken during my flight back to Singapore in June Dawn brings new hope. A reminder that for every dark night we endure in our soul, the birth of a new day is never far away. For without the black of night, there is no joy in the tendrils of light that each dawn brings. May […]
Living on the 24th floor
Room with a view The Good: – Plenty of fresh air and gusty breezes that keep the apartment cool – Killer view, especially when I do yoga in our living room – Gorgeous perspective of thunderstorms The Bad: – Long elevator ride – Dust accumulates real quickly when I keep the windows open for fresh […]
