A few things that made January a little lovelier.
Since it opened in 2011, I haven’t stopped hearing about how I just had to go to the Museum of Old and New Art (aka MONA) in Tasmania, like it was the best thing since #bubbletea. I felt like I was the last person who hadn’t yet…
And just like that – it’s been six months since I last updated this beloved blog. And that just simply will not do! Despite always receiving oodles of support from my first-name-basis friends, this creative project has not received much readership/traffic in a little while.…
Read Part 1 here ✨ I have an enthusiastic but unskilled green thumb. I’ve invested in seeds, pots, and various plants but none seem to thrive under my care. My office plant, Steve, currently has mildew from over watering loving. I am half Singaporean and a…
Hello! It’s me and I’m a quarter of a century! I got this idea from my friend Rachel, to share some facts about myself at this point in time. Please excuse the indulgent nature of this post, but hopefully you find out something interesting in…
EAT In true Japanese fashion, Chaco Bar is hole-in-the-wall tiny but massive on tasty dishes and yakitori (skewered meat & veg cooked over charcoal). Since stumbling upon it, it’s quickly made my list of favourites. The grilled rice balls with chashew are a comforting order…
These are a few of my (April) favourite things ♬ READ Lincoln In The Bardo by George Saunders – As a non-fiction fan, this book (a fictitious imagining of Abraham Lincoln’s time in the graveyard with his deceased 10 year old son Willie) would not have…
In the manner that most people keep up with television shows, I keep up with podcasts. How I Got Into Podcasts At the end of 2013, deeply starved for entertainment, I clicked on the ‘Podcast’ app that comes pre-installed on all iPhones with the expectation that…
My goddaughter, Amelie, is now just over one year old, and can walk and dance (her favourite song is Say Geronimo)! I shot her at 11 months back in November, when she was just starting to stand up by herself! A big thank you to Mother Father PR…
A few months ago, I let my love of gelato come between myself and my better judgement. A certain car company Uber held a promotion for their app by giving away free gelato Messina. Like I am sure most people do, I approach promotions with a healthy sense of skepticism, and had…
Born on Christmas day, my goddaughter, Amelie, is now just over seven months old! She has grown so quickly, already lifting her head up with ease at the Tummy Time stage. I shot Amelie just a few days after she was born (see here) and it is…
Greetings! This Summer I spent a lot of my time on planes. Sydney ✈ Singapore Singapore ✈ Doha ✈ Rome Milan ✈ Paris Paris ✈ Dubai ✈ Singapore Singapore ✈ KL ✈ Sydney Can’t wait to fill in the gaps and share some of my…
Congrats to Myrna, Mark, Dolby & Keziah on the arrival of their newest family member!
On my way wandering through the city executing a Situationist Dérive. It is a practice involving drifting through the streets, lanes, staircases, and whatever other locations you may end up in (including the casino, the fish markets, and private suburbs) until all forms of preoccupations melt…
Finally getting rid of my high school diaries and found these sqaushed between the pages of 2009. Re-finding the joys of a scanner.
* I made this post after Christmas last year, however by the time I put it together the season had passed. I thought I’d keep it for now, especially as the anticipation for the 25th of December grows ever closer* Christmas time always makes me…
H&M wedges | 16th January 2010 – 9th March 2012 D.A.N.C.E. – Justice When I saw these shoes at H&M on Hollywood Boulevard, I immediately knew that they were mine. They were colourful, bold and striped – I simply could not wait to wear them with some…
Zara pumps | 27th December 2011 – Falling Without Knowing – Tilly & The Wall I first saw these shoes in New York in February 2011 and after mustering the courage to buy them, fate had it that my size was out of stock. When the…
Le Freak shoes from St Vincent de Paul | c. 2007? – Dec 2011 In Your Light – Gotye My ultimate party shoes: comfy, secure, flexible, versatile, high enough without the pain… and then the buckle ripped off.
Funkis clogs | 26th December 2009 – Jan 2011 I Woke Up Today – Port O’Brien These shoes served me so well that I bought the exact same pair in purple. But they will never be the same!

Two years ago, for my birthday, I received my first digital SLR. I knew next to nothing about photography. F stops and shutter speed simply did not exist in my vocabulary. The internet was not yet synonymous with life itself. Obsession with facade was not…
The joy of… sound checks – hearing the voices without seeing the faces only makes for more excitement The joy of… set lists and trying frantically to remember each song individually during the ride home The joy of… Nic and Dom’s hugs after each performance…
I met a very lovely lady today. 50 years ago, when Judy was 19, she traveled around the world – which for her time (and seriously even today) was quite cool. She was kind enough to show me the photos from her travels – from…
