I suppose I should feel proud for Singapore that you can find Singapore Noodles in almost every Asian restaurant menu in the UK (and probably in the USA as well). Okay, except Japanese and Korean ones. They’re pretty specialised. But go to a Thai or Vietnamese or Chinese or Malay restaurant and you’ll see Singapore ...
Sometimes, on a weekend, you’re torn between sleeping in and getting up early to do something fun. I mean early like 6 am. Sometimes a lot earlier, like if you had to catch the 5 am train to London so as to maximise your time there. But it was for 6 am on Sunday when ...
Piers “invented̶ 1; a really delicious Asian snack combo: Prawn crackers with hoisin sauce! So proud of him! I also found this awesome lemongrass-flavoured prawn crackers at Tesco. From Netherlands, but makers were Indoneisan settlers. Tastes so great when you dip into hoisin sauce (sparingly)! Copyright © 2011 Sheylara.com.
Today is my birthday and also the second anniversary of the day I first knew of Piers’ existence. Two years ago today, Piers decided to drop me a Facebook message after reading my blog for a couple of weeks and found that he really enjoyed my writings, so he decided to drop me a message ...
I never thought I’d say this but I’m loving Invisalign after three weeks on it. I don’t really know why, especially since I had such a hard time with it initially. Maybe it’s because it gives me some purpose in life, something to look forward to, even though I’ve never really thought about having my ...
Yeah I know my photos are missing from my blog header. Looks very funny, doesn’t it? Nanny Wen (aka Buggy Wen aka Davienne) says it reminds her of Harry Potter’s moving picture people. Guess my photos are taking a break. They’ve gone into hiding because it’s been raining a lot in England and the weather ...
I’m back in England for the third time now and it’s only been five months since my first trip. It’s strange musing upon how life had taken a surprise drastic turn five months back and now I’m treading a completely unexpected path with a completely unexpected significant other. Fate sometimes does the right thing by ...
Four more days until I leave for England again, so much to do before I go, and I’m addicted to K-drama, courtesy of the Goonfather, who passed me five series to watch. I told myself I would just watch one episode to see if the series is good enough to put in my iPad for ...
I thought I’d be in discomfort for a year because I was finding it impossible to get used to Invisalign in my mouth. But just 11 days into it, I hardly feel it anymore. Was playing on my iPad before bed last night when I suddenly couldn’t feel plastic in my mouth and for one ...
Sponsored Post Singaporeans are a funny lot. Possibly because of our cultural values and traditions, we’re a mixed bag of contradictions. We’re humble, yet competitive. We’re kind, but we’re wary of strangers. We pursue luxury, but we work too hard to give ourselves time to really enjoy it. As a result, we come across as ...
I want to have a duckling for my birthday! I was just surfing the net when I came across this picture of a baby mallard. Isn’t it the cutest duckling you’ve ever seen? So want a pet duckling! But then I’d need a house to go with it. =( I had a ...
Quote of the day Me: I want a pet duckling! Piers: LOL why!!! Me: Cos they’re so cute. Piers: All baby things are cute! Except babies. Copyright © 2011 Sheylara.com.
Getting Invisalign is life-changing in two ways. First, there’s the permanent effect of having a more beautiful smile, although that comes after the treatment is done. What’s more immediately life-changing is the fact that you’ll have to make a few adjustments to your lifestyle while undergoing treatment. Before I begin to share my experience, here ...
Sponsored Post July is the best month of them all. Why? Because my birthday’s on that month! Okay, that’s not why, really, although it is my birthday month. July is the best because it’s the month of the SHINE Youth Festival, powered by the National Youth Council and MCYS. Yes, it’s coming once again, ...
Two years ago, we saw the Goonfather drive a BMW Zap3. (Read about it here. It’s funny!) Now, he has upgraded from a 3 to a 4! He won’t be drink driving this one for sure! Okay, really, he has upgraded from a Mazda RX-8 to a BMW Z4, except ...
Let’s just say that I haven’t blogged for nearly a week because of severe jetlag, and leave it at that. In a totally unrelated thread, three people I know have bought cars within a day of each other, remarkable because it’s not very often you hear of one person buying a car, let alone three. ...
Piers: I feel like the luckiest guy in the world to have a beautiful-butt girlfriend. Sheylara: Don’t be ridiculous. Piers: I do! Sheylara: I feel like Plurking that cos it’s so funny and stupid, but I can’t. Piers: What! Sheylara: Hmm, should I Plurk it or not? Piers: Nooooooooooo! Sheylara: Yeah, I don’t think so. ...
I’m back in Singapore and suffering from jetlag. Went to bed at 11 pm and woke up at 3 am feeling wide awake and hungry because it was dinner time (8 pm) in England. I SMSed Piers to tell him I was awake and he was, like, “Go back to sleep! You’ve got to get ...
Piers bought a pair of trousers from Zara recently. (He says I have to say “trousers̶ 1; and not “pants” because pants in England means underwear.) Zara doesn’t have as good QC as I thought. The top button on his trousers popped after he’d had it only a few days. Just like that. He said he ...
Here’s a post about Piers washing his car. It’s very entertaining for me to take photos of him while he’s hard at work. He usually takes his car to the automatic car wash but it’s hay fever season now and the trees in his car park are raining down pollen and leaves on ...
