The Outfield – Your Love
I’m crazy about this song right now – Your Love by The Outfield. And reminds me how I loved the 80’s. A good time to be a teen. The era of the big hair, areobics and ridiculous shoulder pads. So … Continue reading
Bras Basah Complex: A Cool Place for Books, Stationery & Art Supplies
Bras Basah Complex has been around for ages, since I was a kid in the 80’s. It’s the place you go to for books and art supplies. I hadn’t visited this place for a few years and this time, everywhere … Continue reading

Tom Cruise Interviewed in India
So many people seem to be hating on Tom Cruise, but I still like him. Love his energy and optimism and when we were girls in school practically everyone had a crush on him. It was the wonderful 80’s. I … Continue reading

80’s Rock Ballads: Love of a Lifetime by Firehouse
I was a teen of the 80’s and I think there’s nothing sweeter than an 80’s rock ballad. So many incredible ballads and it was all about the melodies. The music video was deliciously cheesy but back then it was … Continue reading
Sweet Gen X Music: They Don’t Make ’em Like they Used to

Old Videos: William & Harry with their mum Diana
I found these old videos from the 80’s quite fascinating. I grew up at a time when the world was totally captivated by Princess Diana and her little boys. The younger generation will probably feel the same way with William … Continue reading
Singapore Slang: Do People say Cool Anymore?

I Love The Tops and Blouses on Frankie Covers
I just love Australia’s Frankie Magazine and especially how they dress their models in vintage outfits for the covers. The articles are a breath of fresh air too. Also I never thought the day would come when 80’s fashion would … Continue reading
Madonna’s Daughter Lola’s First Blog Post
I used to listen to every Madonna hit in the 80’s (like ‘Papa Don’t Preach’), but I don’t really get her new music. Madonna tended to shock, but the most shocking thing she did was become a mother. I used … Continue reading
