I have about 5 days left in this sunny little island before I leave for the Philippines for a month.

The preparations have been mad because every little detail has to be prepared for. I honestly havent had time to update because almost everyday when I reach home I’m exhausted. But I’ve been really blessed to have people around me supporting me and showing love. My parents especially have been very understanding and mum has been awesome about taking time to do back-breaking work with sewing my National Costume. You would not believe how hard it is to take something and recreate it to look good.

On top of preparations, some exciting events have happened over this week. Exciting stuff that I have to write about hopefully soon. I suspect however, that I will have a backlog to do when I return in a month. Dont forget I still have to update about the internationals which I’m sure many of you are looking forward to! There’ll be tonnes of photos, I’m sure, since there will be so many gorgeous girls in one room.

I’m crossing my fingers they have wifi in the resort. Haha.

1) Nuffnang Blog Awards

Thank you Nuffnang for the awesome event that saw bloggers from all over Asia-Pacific (Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Australia) congregate to celebrate the best of blogs. A distinguished event at a posh hotel. Everyone that night was dressed to the nines.


With my lovelies for the night.


My get-up that night.

2) Bintan!

After the adrenalin of the blog awards, I was whisked away on a ferry to Bintan Resorts for a company retreat. AWESOMENESS! I’ve never been to Bintan Resorts before and I enjoyed the beautiful beaches alongside some team-building games amidst the lush greenery.

3) Chek Jawa on Pulau Ubin

Discovering uncharted territories. You’d be surprised at the amazing wildlife that you can find there, a small island. I’m definitely going back there when I get back from the Philippines. Seeing all the various sights got me trigger happy! We were also lucky we went a little bit later and got to see the breathtaking sunset.

For now, I need to start packing.

This sunny little island is called Singapore.

The smorgasbord of food one can find here in Singapore is probably one of the characteristic hallmarks of our tiny red dot. That and the fact that we’re a multi-racial society that tolerates and embraces differences, adds to the unique flavour of this place we call home.

1. I HATE mint: mint leaves, mint sweets and even mouth wash that tastes like mint. Vietnamese paper rice rolls all have mint in them and I usually order them without the mint.

It’s kinda weird how I dislike only certain types of mint though. Till date, I still cant figure out if it’s spearmint or peppermint that I dont like.

2. I’m a sneaker kinda gal. I could live in my Converse and Adidas sneakers all day, all over the world.

3. The biggest fashion faux pas I’ve ever committed is dressing like a $5 hooker for a dance performance. Ripped stockings, bright orange top over a bright cyan bandeau. Never. Going. There. Again.

4. I eat tau huay, toufu and tempe but dont like the taste of tau pok and tau gua.

5. I generally have a high threshold for pain and that’s made even higher when it’s day 19 to 21 of the cycle. Post ovulation is great because sensitivity to pain is low! I calculated and that’s just in time for me to schedule a facial before the Nuffnang Blog Awards! I can sleep through extraction and not feel a thing. When I wake up, my face will be all clean! HOORAAAYY for low pain sensitivity!

6. I’m such a gadget-phile. I use an iMac, carry and iPod Touch and love my Blackberry to death. Oh I also have DSLRs. Well, technically one’s my brother’s. But we exchange and swap our cameras all the time.
