I’ve Been So Distracted Lately

I feel a bit embarrassed to confess this, but I have been struggling with Murakami’s 1Q84. And to think I call myself a bookjunkie. I like his writing style, but when it comes to content, I cannot relate to his … Continue reading

I’m Not Normal

I was wondering whether to write about this. Was thinking about it for the past three days. Sometimes I write posts in my head but never type them out. Was lying in bed feeling anxious again. It’s the reason why … Continue reading

Stumbled Across a Malaysia Travel Fair at Suntec

I love it when I come across things I didn’t expect. Like stumbling upon a Malaysia Travel Fair at Suntec. At first when I saw the lego dragon I thought this was a Legoland promotion thing. But it was more. … Continue reading

Books for a Dollar at Kallang Leisure Park

When I was taking the escalator at the MRT station called Stadium, it jerked. I then wondered what if this thing suddenly stopped? It would be a long flight down. Pretty scary as I think this very long escalator goes … Continue reading

Is It Wrong that I Still Call Myself Girl?

Warning: rambling post ahead….. I feel embarrassed when I refer to myself as ‘girl’ in online descriptions (and in my head). Gal seems more acceptable somehow. I am not sophisticated enough to be ‘lady’ or wise enough to be ‘woman’. … Continue reading

Had lunch at Itacho. It’s a bit confusing as it seems to be two brands in one? The restaurant at JCube seems to be the only branch that has this dual concept. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. … Continue reading

Satay at East Coast Lagoon Hawker Centre

I have no idea how this hawker centre is always so hot, but I think the design somehow, makes it retain heat. Or maybe the lack of fans. I don’t know. And one thing I can’t bear is sweating. So … Continue reading

Window Shopping at Ikea

Even though I have the new catalogue, it’s always more fun to actually look at the stuff at the store. Often some things can feel quite flimsy, so I need to shake them a little and see how easily they … Continue reading

Blogs & Books

I don’t always speak like how I write. I find that I write the word awesome a lot on my blog, but I never say it in real life. It would sound too weird. Other words that feel natural when … Continue reading

10 Awesome Singlish Words & My Clumsy Attempt at Explaining them all

I often think that it would be hard to express myself without a single word of Singlish. When I try to speak ‘proper English’ and replace those words, somehow, the precise meaning is lost. Also the whole situation becomes more … Continue reading

Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre: Carrot Cake – Black or White?

Once again I had to steal from my partner’s plate. My white carrot cake was not as tasty as the black one he ordered. For those who don’t know, the black version is sweetened with sweet soy sauce. And if … Continue reading

Durian Heaven

I’m neither a wine connoisseur or a cheese connoisseur, but I wouldn’t mind becoming an expert in Durians. I just love this fruit that’s forbidden on our buses and trains and many other places due to the strong smell. To … Continue reading
