When Dude was in Sydney this past week, he saw something and he immediately thought of me and he knew that he needed to get it. This is what he got. You see, I'm not a fan. Sure, I've read the books and I've seen the movies and I'm still not a fan. When my friends and I went to watch the third movie, we always referred it as mints, as the movie had the same title as the … 
via kudumomo Falafel is one of my favourite Middle Eastern cuisines ever since I first had it at a Lebanese restaurant. I've been wanting to see if I could make it at home since I'm cheap don't always go to that restaurant. So when Cartcart game me a very simple recipe, I decided to try it out. Ingredients 175g dried chickpeas 1 small onion, chopped 1 garlic, chopped 1 …
Yes, yes. It's the requisite "OMG TIME FLIES!" post. A month into the 2011 and we'll be having our first long weekend of the year. Ain't it fun? In Singapore, Malaysia and where ever else that celebrates Chinese New Year, it's this Thursday and Friday, which means that I don't have to be at work and all the malls and 99% of the shops will be closed. So do your grocery …
As part of the Congo River Art Exhibition, the Asian Civilization Museum, in collaboration with Starbucks Singapore, held a coffee appreciation class. If anyone has read this blog for some time, you'd realise how much I luuurve coffee, so I could not resist the urge and signed up for the class, since there were a limited number of seats available. This was not the first … 
I think that instant noodles are the most versatile food I've ever come across, after rice that is. You can do so many things with it like frying it all on it's own, frying it with rice and of course with soup. Instant noodles are my go-to food when everything else doesn't appeal to my appetite. viasweethaa Some brands boasts that it takes only two minutes to cook it but … 
At an age when my friends are all getting married and starting a family, I finally get to attend a hen night. It's not something that, I'm assuming, is commonly practised here since I don't really have friends who have attended any of such events. Anyway, my friend P who's getting married in a couple of months, decided that she needed a break from all the wedding …
Last semester had been hellishly busy for me, what with work and school and a relatively active social life, I barely had time to do things that I used to do, namely, reading. This year though, I feel a little more relaxed and I'm finally able to catch up on a my reading list. While the semester has started, I do not have any classes to attend this year so I've got …
Since I've been going to the library relatively often these past few weeks, I've discovered that the best time to go, at least in my opinion, is early Sunday mornings. The first two hours upon opening, to be exact. That's when most browsers are either still in bed, at church or at the market, leaving most of the shelved books where they are. This makes finding books a lot …
I didn't expect it to be such a hit when I tried out the recipe but it was. Now you don't have to go all the way to A&W for coney dogs. via mollyali Coney Island Chili Dog Sauce 1 pou … 
When I went to watch Solomon Kane last night, I went into the theatre not knowing what to expect. I'd never heard of the movie or the comics and the pulp-fiction that it was based on, so I just settled back and watched. According to IMDB, the movie is about a man, whose soul is coveted by the Devil for all that he'd done, and tries to redeem himself. A lot like … 
I've always loved the Science Centre ever since I was a child and I would never turn down the chance to go even if there wasn't an exhibit going on. Fortunately for me, there was one and my friends and I just had to go. Last Saturday, the Adventure Crew and I went down to the Science Centre to see the CSI Exhibition. Dude decided to tag along since he was in the area anyway. … 
A while back I mentioned that the library makes me cry and I've lamented to everyone who would listen how annoying it is to be at the library due to the running, screaming children whom their parents can't seem to control. However, my last few library visits have been wonderfully nice. Let me start with why I was at the library at the first place. In recent years, my reading … 
My aunt and cousins came back from Korean recently and brought back kimchi for everyone. Since noone else in my house knows what to do with it, I thought I would make soup from it. Ingredients 150g of thinly sliced meat 1 cup of kimchi 1 cup of roughly chopped cabbage 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 small pack of iinoki mushroom half a pack of silken tofu, cubed 1-1.5L of water …
Dear Coffee, I love you. I love the way you taste and the way you make me feel after I've had a cup of you. I love the smell of you and I'm always amazed at the different flavours that you come in. I may not know anything much about how you're made or the different types of beans that you come in but I love you just the same. The only problem I have with you is that you're …
In my 30 Before 30 list, I mentioned that I wanted to create a >calisthenic programme for myself since I'm in need of a good workout and toning for my body. I'd never heard of calisthenics before until Dude told me about it, since it's part of his workout regime and he swears by it. It's a simple kind of work out using just your bodyweight and no equipment needed. Since I …
Over the weekend, the Adventure Crew and I were at the National Museum for the Pompeii exhibit. As it ends on the 23rd of January, we had to catch it while we can. One of the best parts of being a student, albeit a part-time one, my student card allows me to get into museums for FREEEEEE! The non-students had to pay $12, and with tickets in hand, off we went to the exhibit … 
Since I've closed down my food blog, I'm just going to slowly re-post some of the recipes from there to here. Hopefully it's going to be a somewhat regular Friday Foods column. So here's the first of hopefully many more to come. Chicken rice a favourite local dish. In every single eat place, there would be at least one stall that sells chicken rice. It comes in two …
You just don't feel like getting back into the gear of working. I was away from work the last few weeks of December and I had such an enjoyable time. So coming back to work was such a drag. I have work to do but I've been procrastinating. I finally got around to doing what I need to do but I just realised how confusing it is, so I'm taking a break by writing up this totally …
It hit me today that in 2011, I'll be turning 30. Gah! I only turned 29 last September! While randomly blog-hopping, I found that there is something called The 30 Before 30 Project, where you make a list of things that you want to do before you're 30. Since I'm a big fan of lists and that my 30th birthday is only 9 months away, I'm going to make a list of things that I can …
I hope that the coming year will be an awesome one, filled with love, happiness and blessings, not just for me but also all my loved ones. I hope to find more time to write not just short stories but also longer, series/novel length stories to make up for my failure to complete NaNoWriMo last year. I'm hoping for the coming projects, both for school and work, to go …
