Ivy
The name is Ivy. Born in 1985. I'm a Singaporean who recently came back to Singapore, after being away for almost 20 years. During the day I'm an in-house public relations exec, and during the night I pollute the Internet with my singing and opinions.
I'm a friendly, outgoing person, and an avid anime fan that love to design the web, play the guitar and learn a bunch of foreign languages.
I have been keeping a personal blog for almost 10 years. I write mostly about culture, anime, wordpress themes and plugins. I design my own blog, and occasionally for other bloggers. My blog has been traditionally read by people in the US, but I'd love to be able to connect with other Asian bloggers (that's why I'm here!).
If you'd like to contact me, drop me a line at http://nanyate.com/contact! Don't worry, I won't bite!

So, I got another cellphone for work purposes. And this was one of the phone I was considering to buy, if not for the lack of quadband capabilities: LG Viewty KU990R. In Singapore, it comes in two shades: pretty pink and sleek black. I had a hard time choosing between to two, but ultimately chose ...
And the Apple dealers (since there is no Apple store in Singapore) are making me pay 180$ for it because I don’t live in the US, where Apple users that face the same problem are given a free replacement. This is how my magsafe currently looks like:Sorry Apple Asia and associates, but I’m not going ...
In an effort to get to know Singapore’s blogosphere, I went to a ping.sg (singaporean blogger community) dinner at a ritzy izakaya-style Japanese restaurant called En (えん). Met some …
Ever since I downloaded TwitterFox, I’ve become hopelessly addicted to Twitter…to the detriment of my blog. It’s become so easy to post my opinions and internet finds with 140 characters that writing 400 worded posts has come to be too cumbersome to write. It’s become so easy to hear what others have to say in ...
I finally got myself a gym membership after living in Singapore for 7 months. The experience of a getting a gym membership was…eventful. I wasn’t quite expecting the answer to my innocent question, “how much does a gym membership cost?” to be a 1-hour battle strategy armed with marketing tactics. Unfortunately for the gym, these ...

Call it an off-season new year resolution, if you will, but I’ve been living a new mantra in the last few months: to invest resources instead of consume. It’s become criminally …
May has been a month of multiple misfortunes, one of which involves the death of my beloved Nexus S. (The other is more personal and hence harder to write about.) Anyway, the power button just stopped functioning one day. At first, I managed re-route the power function to the proximity sensor, and it was all...

Nokia sent me the Nokia Lumia 800 a couple weeks ago. And I have only one word to describe it: wow. And that brings me to the end of review. Kthxbye. The Amazing Nokia Lumia 800 (more photos below) I kid. True to Nokia’s roots, the Lumis 800 has excellent built quality. It just feels...

Hello all! It’s been a very long time since my last entry. I keep telling myself to blog but I just can’t find the energy and brain power to research and write good entries after long days at work (which also involves a lot of writing and research). This entry is just a quick update... Read More →Related posts:Hello! It’s been while… The … 
My friends have been intrigued by aura reading lately. One of them found a shop tucked away in a mystical part of Singapore that takes photos of people’s auras for just $5. My aura on Feb 4 (left). My auras on Feb 15 (center and right). I’ve had my aura photographed 3 times so far.... Read More →No related posts.
