This story begins from when I dropped my iPhone 6S (twice) in October last year and smashed the glass AND then the LCD. Since then, it has never been the same again. I did get the glass and LCD replaced, but it somehow got loose over the next few months, resulting in a (presumably) tremulous connection between it and the software of the device – … Continue reading Living With a Possessed iPhone
What’s better than potatoes? Sweet potatoes! I don’t even want to go into why that is better. But seriously, sweet potatoes are packed full of wonderful nutrients like Vitamin A and beta-carotene (a purportedly powerful antioxidant). I never liked sweet potatoes when I was young, but ever since I tried sweet potato FRIES, mash ant other wonderful variations, I’ve done a 360 and fell totally in love with … Continue reading The Sweet Potato Fries Showdown
Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting a skilled (and friendly) barista who has over 10 years of experience in coffee, at the Food&HotelAsia2016 mega trade show. I never really thought about it, but there are actually a bazillion (maybe a slight exaggeration there) factors to consider in roasting quality coffee beans and brewing a cup of fragrant, wonderful tasting coffee – like the duration of … Continue reading Video | Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
Okay so I know it’s March already, but hey, I can still write about food trends which I think will take off over the course of this year right? For many of us, food is something that we love with our hearts and souls, and is a space where there are constant innovations to create better options and varieties for people to enjoy. Here are some … Continue reading All About Food! Trends in 2016?
About 2 years ago, I worked in the Alexandra area for around 1.5 years. Being someone who loves food with a burning passion, I made sure to explore the area to sniff out the good eats to enjoy during lunch time. Here are some places which I liked around the Alexandra Village / Bukit Merah area (will probably do the Pasir Panjang / Harbourfront side some other time, there are … Continue reading Some Yummy Food Places Around Alexandra
Hi everyone! So this is not a full out blog post on my recent trip to Ubud in Bali, but I just wanted to write a quick update that… I’m back! And that Ubud is truly a wonderful, peaceful place that one can easily spend 2 weeks in. I went there on a solo trip with the intention of getting away and devoting some time … Continue reading I’m back from Bali!
So, I’ve been somewhat obsessed or okay perhaps interested is a better word, in doing inversions this year. Be it a handstand or a headstand, I have been fairly determined to achieve a state of balance while in an upside down position. I am also quite convinced that doing more of these will help to give me abs. Haha crazy I know, but it just seems … Continue reading Living Life Upside Down
Wow, it’s already June. That was fast! And while in Singapore it is mostly hot all year round, in other parts of the world June heralds the start of the summer season. I recently found out from ZALORA that they just launched an awesome summer special Jetstar promotion yesterday, with 32 prizes up for grabs – 8 grand prizes and 24 consolation prizes! All you … Continue reading Win an Epic Summer Vacation Sponsored by Zalora X Jetstar
It’s somewhat puzzling to me, that when I tell people I dance salsa, the first response I almost always get is ‘Oh, so do you take part in competitions?’. And the answer I give is also almost always the same – no, not really – maybe sometimes, but mostly I just dance for fun at socials or parties, or do performances. I guess that’s the … Continue reading The Magic of Salsa Social Dancing
Happy Mid-Autumn everyone! The actual day is finally here, though I think everyone has probably already been fervently munching on mooncakes since late (or perhaps mid?) August. Since last week there has been an influx of mooncakes arriving at my office from various suppliers, vendors, agencies etc, and I’ve had the pleasure (and guilt) of sampling baked mooncakes from many fine hotel restaurants including those at … Continue reading Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
I love food. I really do. And if you’ve been following my posts, you’d probably have realised that by now as well. But how does one eat all this glorious food without… well, expanding? That’s a challenge I constantly struggle with. As a young girl, I really disliked exercising. At 15 years old, I weighed a fairly hefty 57kg and ran 2.4km in a pathetic … Continue reading Food, Fitness and Travel
And the top 3 hawkers are out! The final cook-off / showdown between selected Singapore hawkers and Gordon Ramsay will be at Newton Food Centre this Sunday, 7 July, from 6.30pm to 9pm.
