July 10, 2016by Michelle Leave a comment

Upon entering La Ristrettos, one is suddenly transported from the white, clinical corridors of the Novena Medical Centre into a warm, cosy café full of brown furnishings, quaint wall decorations […]

What I've been up to

#Throwback to a #happy picture with @fluffled. ❤️ Maybe, this is what 20 plus years of #friendship looks like? 🤗 Disclaimer: Taken before the law of >1m distancing came into effect today. It's a sad day that we can't be within 1 metre of loved ones, family and friends in public now, but I guess that's the current reality we live in. It could always be better but it could always be worse too - at least the situation now allows (forces?) us to rest more at home and do... productive things. This is probably one of the first #Friday nights in a loooong time that I'm not out dancing, but hey I guess there are lots of other things to do, right? 🙂 Time to explore... . #TGIF #Girls #Laughter #Singapore #Ootd #Candid #InstaDaily #PicOfTheDay

Can't go to China right now but at least I can still have my favourite #MalaHotpot at @changiairport... for now. 😅 Doubt anyone's gonna want to come to the airport these days but if you're ever here, the #mala at the staff canteen here is pretty damn 👍👍👍 . #Lunch #FoodPics #SgFood #SgFoodstagram #SgFoodies #Burpple #Instafood_Sg #Yummy

Because I don't believe you have to knock someone down to get yourself higher up. More often than not we're all on different paths anyway, so what's the harm in a bit of sharing? 🤗 Also because I find it hard to ignore being tagged lol... 😅 Picture taken in #Jeju in July 2019. I guess it's not really a girl power pic per se but it does remind me of the me who's confident and independent enough to make my own #travel plans, anytime, anywhere I want. I really hope that I'll still be able to go there again this July 2020..... (Trying to be optimistic during this depressing period, don't burst my bubble pls kthxbye.) 😐 . 📷 by @photo_ddu 이경민 오빠~ ^^ . *** . I took @welweipassion @chixiebo @rebeccabachatera @raihanah_h's challenge(s)! . Let's do this! Fix each others' crowns ladies, don't knock them off. 👸🏽 #WomenPower #GirlPower If I tagged you, I'd love to see your picture. If I didn't tag you, please, no offense. I tried to choose people I thought would make this challenge fun! Too often, women find it easier to criticize each other instead of building each other up. With all the negativity out there, let's do something positive! ✨ Upload 1 picture of yourself - just YOU! Then tag so many beautiful women to do the same. We will build ourselves up, instead of tearing each other apart. 👑 Real queens fix each others' crowns. 💃💃💃

So this picture is about a month old, but since I haven't eaten anything particularly exciting in the last few days, I would like to acknowledge this very delicious plate of #Crab #Spaghettini from @gramercy.social in #Melbourne. Really enjoyed the big juicy lumps of crab, copious amount of garlic, nice crispy toasted breadcrumbs, complemented by sweet cherry tomatoes and fresh rocket. Yums... 🤤 And the company, of course the company. 😊😊 . This was also very satisfying after 7 hours of workshops and Jack and Jill's on limited food lol. I did say there were gonna be lots of #throwbacks didn't I... 😂 #MissingTravel #Food #Random #Foodstagram #FoodPics #ILovePasta #Pasta #Instafood #MelbourneEats #SgFoodies #FoodPictures

Our wings may be clipped for now, but the spirit of #travel lives on. In our Scootees and pilots who are exposing themselves to risk, working hard to bring people where they need to go during these crazy times, in our office staff who have to endure being scolded by angry customers who curse us when we are trying to help them, in our ground staff who have to let our bright yellow planes sit quietly at the airport. But we are by no means the only ones affected by this situation - we, and the world, we're all in this together. I believe that things will get better, and I believe that the yellow future @flyscoot aims towards - enabling people to discover and connect with all sorts of people and cultures all over the world, creating valuable experiences that enrich lives - is still possible. Have a good rest our dear #A320baes and #787babies, and we'll paint the skies #yellow together again soon. 💛💛💛 . #YellowandProud #TheFutureIsStillYellow #DontLoseHope #FlyScoot #Scootitude #Airplanes #PlaneSpotting #WhatAMonday #IBleedYellow

When it's difficult to make choices, it's usually because there is some merit or benefit in each one of the options. One may be sweet and fresh, one may be smoky and rich and another, vibrant and unique. I wish we could be like this piece of 'millefeuille' sushi (lovingly nicknamed by the chef) and have it all, but life isn't always like that. So keep calm and eat #sushi I guess. ✌️🙂🍣 From a (belated birthday) meal with @fluffled, with less than 10 people in the whole place, a sign of the current times. #Throwback #Yummy #Food #Toro #Ootoro #Uni #JapFood #SgFoodies #SgFoodstagram #Instafood_Sg #Burpple #FoodPics #FoodPornAsia
