Nice! Very Nice! Very Very Nice!

May 30, 2010 eating out

My friend Jing Wen has an expression to describe practically everything: “It’s nice!” New pair of fashionable shoes? “It’s nice!” Fun trip overseas? “It’s nice!” Perfect sunny weather with a cool breeze? “It’s nice!” A yummy plate of noodles? “It’s nice!” A really yummy plate of noodles? “It’s really nice!” A really, really yummy plate [...]

Who Needs Popularity When You’ve Got Travel-Mates?

May 28, 2010 blog meet-up

There was a time…when I was really concerned about being “popular”.

Dumplings With My Power Ranger Girl

How to Make the Best of Hong Kong

May 23, 2010 eating out

This is the last of my Hong Kong trip series. I swear. I hope you enjoyed all the HK posts, because I sure enjoyed writing them. Blogging is not a chore for me. I do it because I truly, sincerely enjoy it. I’d rather blog and reminisce about all the fun things we did and [...]

HK Day Four: Missing and Misses

May 21, 2010 eating out

I love Hong Kong. But I really miss Singapore. Day four in this bustling, crowded, and fascinating city, and I’m all ready to return back “home”. As much as I enjoy all the shopping and social energy here, I still cannot help but feel lost, both literally and metaphorically, in this vivacious city. But still, [...]
