The Happiest Place on Earth

I was looking through my photos, and I can’t believe I missed this out – I spent my birthday at the happiest place on Earth – also with the vilest food on Earth [or at least in France!]:

Loco Over Lomo

Even though I permanently procrastinate sending film from my toy cameras to be developed, collecting them is like Christmas Day. Twiddling thumbs in anticipation, tearing open the package [after handing over cash of course] and gleefully grinning recollecting the memories. I have a couple of toy cameras – the Fisheye, the Diana [which I keep [...]

Mad About Duck

Before I met Andrea, duck was one of the animals I didn’t eat – just because I thought they were cute. After I met Andrea, good duck dishes are amongst the many things we constantly obsessed over and while I was in Paris, I had the most amazing confit de canard – the best I’ve [...]

An Ode to the Art of Bullfighting

Remember remember the 28 of July – doesn’t have quite the same ring, but a few days ago, the region of Catalonia in Spain officially makes bullfighting illegal in the region. It’s easy to brush it off as cruel and inhumane for anybody who hasn’t watched a bull fight, but after, you would understand the [...]

Have You Met My Ang Moh* Family?

Not a lot of Singaporeans can say they’ve been to Texas, and I’m proud to say I have. Literally on the other side of the world, I was in Austin for a good one and a half months, and the last week of which I spent at the most awesome music festival I’ve ever been [...]

Why I’m Never Going Back to France.

I enjoyed Paris, it is a beautiful city, but I definitely thing there’s too much hoopla going on about this city. Armed with a map, I almost never had to ask for directions, or for anything much else, so at the end of my trip, I was pleasantly surprised that the infamous French arrogance wasn’t [...]

Portobello Market

I honestly thought Portobello Market was not something to shout about. Unless you’re looking for vintage cameras and furniture [in that case, you've found yourself in Wonderland], I think you’re better off vintage hunting in physical stores because of the very touristy crowd that Portobello pulls in. I did, however, have a ton of fun [...]

I’ve Got Love in My Tummy Part II

Some food me and my girlfriends devoured over our 10 days in London. I feel full just looking at all these photos.

Found Nemo

My second favourite purchase after my €5 rollerskates – an awesome bag in the shape of a fish that I bought in a store in Ghent. It cracks me up!! And it’s such a conversation starter; case-in-point: my hilarious new fishmonger friend in the background. And yes – I am several shades darker no thanks [...]

Borough Market

For the first time in three weeks, I am no longer sharing a living space with another human being. I’m in the cutest little hotel right in the heart of the city, lazying in bed with the catastrophes that are my suitcases by the foot of the bed – and barely dressed of course. When [...]
