I swear, I am not being dramatic or trying to act cute. Due to forest clearing in Indonesia, all the smoke was blown towards Singapore. Long story short, the pollutants in the air crossed the hazardous mark, I was sick with shortness of breath and I dreamed of fresh oxygen. I was also frightened and […]

Spaceship
This reminded me of a rather bulky spaceship. And they swim incredibly fast. Once, one of these deadly but ethereally gorgeous creatures stung my baby sister. She didn’t stop bawling for hours. Poor kid.

In the 2+ years I have been in Singapore, I haven’t been to a single Chinese wedding, or any wedding if you want to get pedantic. Which I usually get. Shaun and Sofie very kindly sent me this cute young invite to their wedding lunch: I was really excited to be invited and I could […]

Alamak, no taxi only!
Singapore taxis are a species by themselves. When you absolutely die-die want one, they are whizzing past, mysteriously occupied. When you don’t want one, their waiting queues can reach up to 3 blocks. They change shifts during rush hour and amazingly, none of them want to leave the business district between 6-7 pm. They inexplicably […]
