It has certainly given me a boost to write more often and pick up my blogging momentum this year. (New year resolution!) It's also … Continue reading The Liebster Award!
Photo 101 – Scale
This is my country. I had taken this panorama of the city area overlooking Marina Bayfront in August last year when Singapore celebrated its 50th anniversary of independence. Even when I look at this picture now, I feel a great sense of pride. A little country with no resources, we took ourselves from third world … Continue reading Photo 101 – Scale
Photo 101 – Architecture in Monochrome
We visited Bordeaux last year when my husband and his friend went to run the Medoc Marathon. I can't say much about the marathon but I loved the little streets of Bordeaux, winding between stone buildings and opening up unexpectedly in piazzas. I took this shot from a cafe window as we were having some … Continue reading Photo 101 – Architecture in Monochrome
Photo 101 – Pop of Colour
Had a lovely lunch tasting today at St Pierre, Singapore's only Relais & Chateaux restaurant. It's a fine dining French restaurant at One Fullerton, overlooking the Marina Bayfront. Lunch stretched over three hours, ending with a magnificent dessert trolley of petit fours, from little cakes to macarons, jellies and chocolates. Here's my pop of colour … Continue reading Photo 101 – Pop of Colour
Photo 101 – Warmth & Light
The light outside today is not warm, but hot and glaring. So for today's assignment, I felt it best to pick something out of my heap of holiday photos. I think warmth and light from the sun is nicely captured here, illuminating one of my favourite desserts, Baklava, perfectly paired with sweet tea Turkish style. This was … Continue reading Photo 101 – Warmth & Light
Photo 101 – Natural World & Leading Lines
I pottered out into my garden just now to undertake today's assignment, Natural World & Leading Lines, with my Canon SLR. My garden isn't big, but it is lush with a wilderness of tropical leaves and where ants, bugs and a large mottled garden lizard live. While looking for shapes and lines, I thought it … Continue reading Photo 101 – Natural World & Leading Lines

I ventured into her blog not long ago as I was intrigued by the name of the blog, and … Continue reading The Liebster Award
Drink Me
As a food writer, I often get to eat really good food. Most of the time, it's great...but this one time, a box of instant veggie/herb grass health drink satchets landed on my desk and I had to try it. It promised a whole lot of goodness in the sealed, single portion packs, and all a … Continue reading Drink Me
Chee Cheong Fun
The ultimate Singapore breakfast is still local food. Scrambled truffle-flecked eggs with a side serving of caviar or eggs benedict washed down with a nice flute of breakfast champagne are all nice and good, decadent and befitting of chi-chi foodies - genuine or wannabe's. But if the morning broke and it was going to herald my last meal - … Continue reading Chee Cheong Fun
