This year’s birthday was kinda interesting because, at first, I thought that I was going to have to work the evenings of my birthday week. Thus, I scheduled dinner with my family on the “off day” and then my originally planned Friday dinner with friends was then cancelled with a date to be confirmed. However, I received news from the…

Ok, so I do this annually on the 1st of October and it’s not meant to be some show-off or list of demands but my wish list is meant to: Help people know what to get for me Inkling of what I hope for the future (sometimes) Sometimes, instead of a wish list, I have a ‘do not want’ list…
When we’re young it’s easy to meet new people, the school playground often leaving us having a new best friend at the end of every day. However when we grow up, things change. Some friends start full time jobs and others enter relationships and then have children. If you’re moving to a new country/city, it can be even harder to make friends!…
If you’ve been following me on Instagram or Facebook, you’ll probably know that I’m now on a #30DaysChallenge as part of the campaign for Global Wellness Day that’s happening on 11 June. How I came about this is because, well, I am one of the organisers for Global Wellness Day and it is something that I wanted to do after…
Did you know that Singapore has a natural hot spring which is open the public? I didn’t know that either until a Japanese acquaintance (trust the Japanese to find out about hot springs) wanted to go there. I merely tagged along. Apparently, my parents knew about this place too but they’ve never been there nor did they bring me and…
I first saw this image on Facebook where my friend shared it with the following comment: “Not body shaming, but it is NOT ok to be fat. If you have medical issues and became big cuz (sic) of hormonal imbalance etc, then fine. But no, having a very plus sized woman walk the runway doesn’t make it ok to be…
Yummy Mont Blanc cake from Glacé And so…another year passes and I get a year older. I spent last Sunday with my old friends over lunch at The Bridge and I’m glad to say that I’ve found their brunch menu to be as delicious as their regular one! However, this is not about a food review post. I’ll leave that to…
If you only have a day of sightseeing in Chicago like we did, you may want to follow what we did: start your journey at Millennium Park and then walk towards Navy Pier. You’ll see loads of the noteworthy architecture in the city on foot. Then when you’re at Navy Pier, book yourself a seat at their Architecture Boat Tour.…
Took the iconic Chicago ‘L’ (short for elevated) train to get to town today to first meet up with my ex-colleague before doing more sightseeing. The oldest sections of the ‘L’ started in 1892, so that explains why they’re not willing to give up the wooden boardwalk feel to the lines! We arrived at the Chicago Board of Trade and…
It’s my first time in Chicago and the main reason why I decided to go there was because I thought that it’s airport is the best to reach my aunt’s place in Wisconsin. However, I didn’t mind it because the last time I’ve ever been around Chicago was merely the airport. Once again, I booked an Airbnb apartment for us…
