You will always be

Love March 31, 2018
Girl Missing — Tess Gerritsen The hardest truth I'll eventually learn to accept: fate is a cruel game played by brave souls. Some say fate plays with time. Right person, wrong time. I say no wrong time. When The One comes along, you freaking make the timing right for him because you're so damn afraid of counting what could have been. Some say...Read More

Seeing the world in a different light

Budget Travels March 29, 2018
As I plan my Europe 2018 itinerary, I recall something a friend once said to me. "What's the point of travelling if you insist on saving on everything?" If there's one thing seeing the world taught me, it is that we are seven billion different minds, and we are entitled to our own opinion. The inability to accept a differing opinion played a...Read More

Althea Bare Essentials Review

Beauty March 28, 2018
Althea has been my go-to platform since I started on skincare so I was naturally excited when they launched their own skincare line, Bare Essentials. It seems that everyone else was as excited as me about the launch, with 10 000 people on Bare Essentials' waitlist! Althea kindly sent me the whole Bare Essentials skincare set for a review after its launch. If...Read More

You've been good, busier than ever

Emo Nemo March 27, 2018
My smile frozed when they mentioned your name. An awkward silence ensued. They looked over, and they knew. “How... How is he doing?” I fumbled with my words, knowing I no longer have the right to learn anything about you. I was reluctant to ask because I didn’t want to hear that you're doing better without me. But I hoped you’re doing good...Read More

Johor Bahru Bak Kut Teh, Cafes and City Square Arcade (2017)

Johor Bahru March 25, 2018
"I wanna go overseas," I whined sometime in May last year. My friends, being the genies they are, whisked me off to Johor Bahru. Again. Naturally, we settled our lunch in Johor Bahru due to the favourable exchange rate. The first order of business was a hot pot of Malaysia's herbal bak kut teh. Despite all the years I spent in Singapore, I...Read More

Getting Anne Frank House tickets after they’re sold out online

Amsterdam March 23, 2018
Buying tickets to Anne Frank House online is not for the faint-hearted. The ticket sale is insane! Tickets open up 2 months prior and the first time I checked, all 60 days were SOLD OUT — probably due to the recent renovations at Anne Frank House which requires all travellers to purchase their tickets online. During this period, they do not accept walk-ins...Read More

6 Amazing Malaysian Road Trip Ideas for the Adventurous

Commercial Break March 19, 2018
Guest post written by Consider Digital. An ideal vacation for most people usually means jetting off to somewhere far away from Singapore. However, for the adventurous at heart, a road trip in Malaysia could be just what you need. Grab a bunch of friends, and plan a vacation or a staycation. The open road is a perfect opportunity to explore Malaysia’s cultural heritage...Read More

Causeway Bay Shopping (Hong Kong Day 3.2)

Hong Kong March 14, 2018
We took the MTR to Causeway Bay for another round of shopping, after feeling that we hadn't dont enough shopping at Mong Kok two days before. Jeez, looking back at my shopping/spending habits scare me. I have since toned down on my purchases, preferring to shop on Taobao or just rewear what's already in my wardrobe. Is this a sign of growing up?...Read More

Flowers in the Window, Cafe-hopping & KSL City (Johor Bahru 2017)

Johor Bahru March 11, 2018
Prior to leaving my full time job, I had two days of leave to clear so I travelled to Johor Bahru with with Chelsea whom I travelled to Hong Kong with, in 2016. It was one of Chelsea's rare few days in Singapore and we haven't spent a full day together since we both started working! We initially wanted to satisfy my cravings...Read More

Wasn’t new to this

Love March 07, 2018
I came to realise that love is a word prominent singers, celebrated writers and, perhaps, even the wealthiest person struggle to define. When my freshly-single friends asked what love is, I often shrugged (or even scoffed at the idea of love, pardon my scepticism) before replying, “How am I supposed to know?” Now I know. Last year, I met someone who defined love...Read More

Urban Bakery Work Croissants (Hong Kong Day 3.1)

Hong Kong March 05, 2018
Good morning, Hong Kong! The temperature dipped that day, at 13°C. Hong Kong's winter in 2016 was already colder than usual, and that day was the coldest day of the month! Being misinformed travellers — plus the fact that Hong Kong was the first cold country I travelled to — Chelsea and I only donned on a thin parka and began our itinerary....Read More
