When i was in Australia, struggling on a student budget, watching movies and eating ice-cream on waffles was a luxury. Once a month, Tuesday was Waffle or Movie night, on special weeks, we indulge in both! Gelare waffles go at $2 every Tuesday (UP $4) and tickets were $9 (UP$13).The simple pleasures in life makes me excited.After all, I will start the year with an award winning absolutely inspiring based on an extraordinary true story (and i...

Tribute to the Hardcore Bengs

When I lived in Australia, I worked in a Chinese Restaurant. For a long while, I never figured out what B.Y.O imprinted on the glass stands for.Somehow, I just kept thinking of body odour. Afterall, BO stands for body odour. But it doesn’t sit right. Sure, a Chinese restaurant is full of smells, but certainly it wouldn’t greet its customers with body odour printed at its entrance!Then it dawned upon me that it stood for Bring Your Own (wine/ alcohol)...

忘情水

The sponsored trip on board Legend of the Seas couldn’t have come at a better timing. When I was in the midst of emotional turmoil, it was the perfect getaway. Being on board, it certainly gave me plenty of time to sort out my thoughts in solace.  Each day starts with a wide spread breakfast looking out into the ocean.After filling up with a hearty breakfast, I would usually bring a cup of hot tea to the deck and enjoy dawn breaking. Then...

Review: Allure Beauty Salon

I’ll soon cover reviews of facials all over Singapore! Haha.Today I shall share my review about Allure Beauty Saloon that is found in the East. Be sure that you take the mall’s lift in Tiong Bahru Plaza to reach the saloon because you can’t find it by escalators!When I heard that Allure uses only Atache’s products, I was ecstatic. Atache, which hails from Spain (atas leh!) and it’s a blend made from research and investigation of active ingredients...

After reading The Game (how do boys get girls), Neil Strauss was my newest favourite author. I had been eyeing his graphic novel How to Make Money Like a Porn Star for a while now, but it was only available online (expensive delivery!). On my birthday, my friend offered to buy it for me. There we were, ordering it online. As we checked out, “Sinner Takes All” popped up as a recommended book because of our choice. My friend’s eyes immediately brightened...

The Elves of Royal Caribbean

There were 1,900 holiday-ers on board. And to serve that 1,900, it took 750 staff. All on a massive 70,000 toner ship like Legend of the Seas. Often, we tend to neglect these people who make it happen for us on board. We are more than often; too busy enjoying the food, enjoying the fun, enjoying the clean rooms that we return to.The service on board Legend of the Seas is immaculate. It’s my first time on a cruise, so I did not know what to expect!...
