The most important rule about living in Singapore is to get out of Singapore at least once a month. Otherwise it’s easy to get claustrophobic from all the people, traffic and noise. Since moving here, Jay and I have done some traveling around but not enough. After last month’s trip to Nikoi Island in Indonesia, I finally believed what everyone was... [Read more of this review]

You never know when the right time to move in together is. The standard rule is after you get married right? Well, not for most people. Most people rush into it, after a few months or even weeks of dating. In my case, it was four weeks when he asked me and I said yes. We’re going to check out places next week. It makes sense and I want to. I’m ready,... [Read more of this review]

I’m coming home! Finally, after such a long time. First Christmas after so many years spent back at home, where I belong. I traveled so far and in so many places, I have seen so many things, but nothing feels as good as being home again. As I walk down our street, all the memories are coming back. There is the secret little place, behind the bushes,... [Read more of this review]

Home, sweet – Singapore. Getting there. Almost nine whole months, wow, time flies. In this case, not fast enough, perhaps for a reason, making me appreciate things that are directly in front of me, the people who care, the people who don’t, the life all around. It’s fascinating. All of it. It’s starting to feel normal. That one foot I’ve... [Read more of this review]

I think I’m in love! I really like him, so it’s probably love. I can feel it. When you know, you know, right? We’ve been joking around saying we love each other. Like we make little L sounds and laugh. This morning, he whispered I love you, thinking I was still asleep. He was borderline devastated that I heard him. It’s so much fun and almost... [Read more of this review]

What a year it’s been! I was confused for most of it so I’m glad that things finally worked out this month. Paul and I had a date last night. We went to a really cool restaurant that I’ve never been to before. We had wine and great food and chatted and kissed. Then we had dessert wine and our very own desserts! I was pretty tipsy by then. I got... [Read more of this review]

Last Monday was exactly two years since you called me – two years of missing you so terribly. I went to our bench in the park, where we used to meet, secretly… remember? You used to say that that was our place, our little sanctuary in the open space. That’s where we kissed the first time. You told me how smooth my skin was on my thighs…... [Read more of this review]

Like many of my friends these days, another one had a baby. That makes three this year, four last year, and one or two the previous year. That I know of. Congratulations. Maybe one day, I will join the motherhood ranks. Not for a while, though. For now, I’ll write about my friend’s baby, C for short. C is for cute. Cutie pie. Cutielishissness…... [Read more of this review]

When options lock and purse strings tighten, the door to creativity should open wider and change celebrated. Through this door you walk into a world of creative exploration where many avenues and disciplines converge into the ultimate brainstorm of passion, inspiration and power. In this world, you discard the strain and narrow vision that makes your... [Read more of this review]

Sometimes being on the other side of the planet has its advantages. It’s hot – all the time, it’s busy – most of the time, and there’s a massive wall separating me (and Jay) from the rest of the world. I heard from a good friend that Singapore is the third best city to “weather out the recession.” Asia in general is the place to live right... [Read more of this review]
