WANT ANYTHING FROM SINGAPORE? My mom’s text read. I gave it some thought before ultimately replying “Mmm, no.” Truth is, there were a hundred and one things I wanted from Singapore but nothing my mom could check-in on her flight back to Manila. It’s been over a year since I was last at the Little…
Sunny Afternoons and Brunch
How today’s sunny afternoon transported me to brunch in Singapore
NATIONAL GALLERY SINGAPORE
Finally got the chance to check out the Singapore National Gallery and it was well worth the visit. Housed in the old Supreme Court and City Hall buildings, the buildings in itself were amazing pieces of art. Fun fact I learned from the Changi World War II tour I took (that I will blog about…
SINGAPORE BRUNCH FILES: SELFISH GENE, PRIVE, MARMALADE PANTRY

STEPPING STONES AND GARDEN CITIES
Yay, Saturday! So my life planning has taken up approximately 10 minutes, writing down my Plan A, B, and C for this year. Okay, it’s not actually life planning but figuring out where I go from here. I know where I want to go and what I want out of life (and if I’m being…

PREVIEWING THE ALL NEW WHITE SANDS WITH SAKAE SUSHI AND THAI EXPRESS
Living and working in the farthest of Singapore’s far East, I’ve always frequented White Sands for my essentials. Heck, even before living in Pasir Ris, I would go to White Sands after work to shop in NTUC and Cotton On because it was conveniently located next to the MRT. Recently though, it underwent works and renovations…
WHEN THAT SUN GOES DOWN
There are times when going through everyday feels more of a routine than actual living. I hate that feeling!!! You only get one life and you won’t be able to take back the days so it’s crucial to strive to make every-damn-day count. But with jobs and responsibilities, it isn’t as easy for most people to…
IN MEMORY OF LEE KUAN YEW
Today, the world lost an exemplary human being. Singapore is in a very somber mood and why wouldn’t it be? Even if Mr. Lee and the public don’t always see eye to eye, how can anyone not grieve the death of a father? Lee Kuan Yew was the man that turned a swamp (his word,…
