The bro asked whether we wanted to watch the latest musical in town “Singin’ In The Rain” and I said yes. So…off it became a family affair where we hoped to be splashed with fun! Cast for the evening Couldn’t take any photos/videos of the performance so you’ll have to make do with the stage....

Remembering To Count My Blessings
I’m usually the one whom friends come to whenever they need a listening ear, advice or referee. However, in the last month, I experienced a mini meltdown and if I had not recognised the signs, I would’ve probably gone into the super troughs of depression or gone into an anxiety attack. Why?

Things That Singles In Their 30’s Hate To Hear
If you’re single in your 20’s, people don’t give you that much pressure and the usual thing you’ll hear is “Oh…don’t worry, you’re still young. The One is still out there.” But when you enter your 30’s and you’re still single, it’s the reverse that’s happening and suddenly you’re pressurised to feel like you’ve got...

Continuing On My #StopComplaining Campaign
Ever since I took the challenge of quitting complaining for Lent, I must say that it was an interesting Lenten endeavour.

The last time I ever ate at Jumbo was at their Riverside Walk branch about 5 years ago. I am thoroughly amused by their bibs and...

Why I’m Giving Up Complaining For Lent
So it’s now Lent, that lovely time before Good Friday and Easter, where we examine our lives and consciously try not to sin and remember the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus gave. As such, we are also encouraged to sacrifice something during this period. Normally, it involves something that we really love, which is why it...

Understanding ‘Invisible’ Illnesses
I saw the photo below on my Facebook newsfeed today and I’m glad to see more and more of such movement(s) in the world. Needless to say, I shared it and I wrote, “There are tons of ‘invisible’ illnesses out in the world. We should not judge others by what we have/ don’t have, learn...

Chui Huay Lim Cuisine – Delicious Singaporean Take on Traditional Teochew Cuisine
Chui Huay Lim Club is nestled in a corner along Keng Lee Road, near Newton, and the Club itself is more than 160 years old. The flagship restaurant is also called Chui Huay Lim and it literally translates as Forest of Drunken Flowers. Hmm…how poetic. The family and I decided to go there for dinner...

Located in a nondescript corner of the 3rd floor of Robinsons, The Heeren (btw, the new Robinsons at Heeren remind me of Selfridges in London…but that’s a separate topic), that’s only highlighted with this thin sign, the family and I went to Luke’s Oyster Bar & Chop House for a special post-Christmas dinner.
