did you know that this purple castle layout is actually version 11 of sparklette.net? there are 10 other layouts i have used previously that most of you may not be aware of. after being awarded "best blog design" at ping.sg, i think it's finally time for me to do a quick recap of all the different designs ...
i commuted on an SMRT bus recently. it was a long bus ride. feeling bored, i started fiddling with my PDA phone.people who have been with me enough would know that i have a constant urge to check my email. so when the bus lurched to a stop at the traffic junction, i turned on the wireless on my phone to scan for an available network.lo and behold, i managed to get connected …
when you think of dining in marina south, what comes to mind immediately would likely be cheap steamboat buffets. but did you know there is also a fine-dining restaurant in the same area? welcome to pier eleven, a fusion mediterranean seafood restaurant at the pier ...
one of my favorite local delights is chicken satay (meat skewers), and it has to be the muslim version. somehow satay made by the chinese just don't seem to taste as good, perhaps due to a different use of spices. the best place to get good satay is probably lau pa sat ...
over the past weekend my friend and i were invited to enjoy a 2D1N stay at bintan lagoon resort. our task was simple; review the resort and check out its facilities and restaurants. see, this 12-year-old resort (highly popular among singaporeans) has just renovated some of its rooms. we had the luxury of staying in one of these newly refurbished deluxe rooms ...
as part two of our dessert-tasting excursion (see part one here), we paid a visit to icekimo, an ice creamery-cum-café just off upper thomson road. decked out entirely in hues of girlish pink and white, this cute little place provides a bright and cheery spark to the otherwise lackluster sin ming centre where it is tucked in.one cannot help but feel young in this …
i didn't think i would feature cute beluga whales twice in the same month, but here it is: santa belugas! help! i think i'm having a brain freeze on the cuteness! these playful marine creatures adore balancing toys on their hats. so why not let them don santa hats for christmas? visitors to the hakkeijima sea paradise aquarium ...

i recently paid a long overdue visit to the tiong bahru market and food center. after its major revamp last year, the place appears to be much cleaner and more well-ventilated than before. there's even an al fresco area where people dine under the shade of resort-style umbrellas ...
somewhere in singapore, i chanced upon this globe sculpture recently. even though this installation has been here since 1989, it was only my first time seeing/noticing it! what first grabbed my attention was the fact that it looked all shiny from afar. as i drew closer, i realised there was more to this globe than meets the eye! ...

i've said this before, and i'll say it again — i love indian food. i personally feel it is one of the most perfect cuisines in the world. but even for me, the gravies somehow taste the same in most dishes after a while. if you are like me, mustard is one indian restaurant that is refreshingly different ...
fancy going healthy? in these stressful times, it's more important than ever that we are mindful of what we eat. but just mention health food and the mind automatically conjures up images of bland, flavorless dishes that are more vegetable than anything else. hardly appetising! ...Unless stated otherwise, this article is the original content of Sparklette.View the article:The …
with the season of love coming up really soon (sooner than you'll realise!), i thought it would be nice to share a heartwarming story of a famous bear. he goes by the name tatty teddy, or is otherwise known as the me to you bear. by the end of his story, i promise you would feel all fuzzy and warm :) ...
...and wanted one more conversation, one more chance to make up for the time when you thought they would be here forever? if so, then you know you can go through your whole life collecting days, and none will outweigh the one you wish you had back. what if you got it back? ...
hello people. yeah, yeah, i know i’ve been neglecting my blog. but things have been pretty hectic lately despite the fact that i am jobless (technically). of course, it doesn’t help that i’ve fallen sick. not getting much sleep, being unemployed and slacking away, and eating a whole bunch of deep fried food without drinking much fluids has contributed to …
