One Small Chair That Changed The Look Of A Room

January 18, 2008 – 7:47 pm

After the long bus ride to Melaka, I was looking forward to getting my proper rest in bed.
It’s just like taking a long flight. Although you’ve been doing nothing but sitting and staring at the sky for the entire flight, when you finally get out of the plane, you still feel dog tired.
However, I haven’t [...]

Freshest Sushi Sashimi at Sakuraya, Parkway Parade

January 18, 2008 – 6:28 pm

Throughout my one month in Singapore, I mostly ate wholesome home cooked food. But just once, the home made goodness felt a little too familiar. I could even correctly guess what soup’s for dinner.
Thinking out loud, I said how nice if Sakuraya, the japanese grocer in Parkway Parade, is nearby. Then I could just walk [...]

Results of My Experimental Hair Colour

January 17, 2008 – 5:48 pm

My hair patiently sat under the experimental henna goo for about an hour. After I washed it off and lightly towel-dried, it took a few more hours to completely dry out before I could see the difference. So, what do you think?

The change is not too obvious. I had to get out to my garden [...]

Precious Goes Au Naturel

January 17, 2008 – 11:42 am

What a bright and beautiful morning! Over here in Melaka, the sun is gloriously shining. So what are you up to? For me, I have decided to sit in the sun with nothing on except a comfortable cotton sarong.
But wait, there’s a reason for it. I’m coloring my hair with natural henna! That’s my lap, [...]

Christmas Dinner with Tom Hanks and wifey

January 16, 2008 – 5:44 pm

They had just flown in from Texas. On Christmas day, we were invited for a dinner together in the city.

What a lovely couple! Since they came from Texas, I joked that they get around on horseback and wear broad-brimmed hats at home, just like the cowboys in old western movies.
They were so pleasant, they didn’t [...]

100% Woman

January 16, 2008 – 3:52 pm

I used to feel terribly uncomfortable with my female body shape. Classmates used to tease about my fertility. Mums of guys I know would tell their sons the same thing.
I tried not to look at it or talk about it because it was an embarassment to me. Whenever a sales girl persuades me to try on another [...]

Million Dollar HDBs

January 16, 2008 – 1:23 pm

Recently, I read in the news that an HDB unit in Clementi was sold for almost a million dollars. An HDB is considered public housing in Singapore and was meant to be affordable for every person of every income.
So how did a public housing unit become a haven for the wealthy? According to the agent, the [...]

Getting My Foot Massage At Westwood :)

January 14, 2008 – 1:53 pm

Speaking of foot massages, over at Westwood Secondary, I met a sweet old lady who gave me a free foot massage!
She came over to clean the windows of the room I was in. We easily struck up a light-hearted conversation.
When the topic turned to beauty and health, this little old lady got [...]

Business Financing

January 14, 2008 – 12:18 pm

HOW have you been?! Boy I miss you, my blogging buds.
I’ve been standing on my feet for long hours to help out in the busy school uniform sale season. One night, as I was traveling home after the sale, the lady boss invited me to join her for either a foot massage [...]
