My Second Visit to Gardens by the Bay
The place felt even more artificial the second time around and I guess I kept comparing it to the Botanic Gardens and wishing that it could have been a another Botanic Gardens with free entry. This didn’t quite feel like … Continue reading

Valentine’s Day in Singapore
It’s a very commercialized holiday in Singapore. Every store is having some sort of sale. Like this new Candy store at Ngee Ann City. Everything is just more expensive today, especially flowers. I thought the Jelly Bean mascot was cute.

Love the Pink Birthday Roses
What a lovely surprise it was. Such a pretty bouquet, and I was so happy to get them. They were from my mum and sis, who know I love roses. Even though flowers wilt, the photos will preserve them forever.

I Learnt Something on Goop
Gwyneth Paltrow gets quite a bit of flak for her newsletter and website Goop being too pretentious and in Singapore terms ‘atas’. She always seems so perfect too and able to do anything, which of course is infuriating for lesser … Continue reading
