Across my (now numerous) trips to Taipei, I’ve stayed in about 8 accommodations — I love trying out different hotels and as I’ve found, particularly in Taiwan, the rule of thumb is that not all expensive accommodations are great, and sometimes the impressive ones are the ones that you didn’t have to pay all that…
2019 brings exciting news in the realm of cards, including the introduction of BOC’s Elite World Mastercard and much-needed upgrades to Citibank Rewards as well as (finally!) the UOB Lady’s Card. My spending patterns have also changed drastically given the entrance of my two furkids, so I undertook a huge credit card strategy revamp this…
About a year ago in 2018, I found a great deal at an apartment near office and jumped at the opportunity to live 2 minutes away from work. Having moved out recently, it seems the perfect time to close this chapter on a beautiful home, and get settled into our new one. 🙂 ABOUT THE…
All my life, the one thing that has remained constant has always been books. Reading is so much a part of my life that I really don’t think I can go anywhere without my laptop (for articles) or my Kindle. So when I realized I haven’t been blogging as regularly as I used to due…
I’ve had the same Daniel Wellington since 2013 (yes, before it became cool to own one) and as much as I love my Canterbury/Oxford straps, I thought it was time to decommission mine.

This post wasn’t going to come so soon, but I’d decided I wanted to do a spring cleaning of my Todoist setup, and so here it is in its unrivalled beauty. This is a format that has worked for me for the past 3 months (thank you for hauling me to Todoist, @Aankita Mukherjee!), but…
So the best friend @Jean Lee and I headed for our usual weekend hustle. The past few weeks, we’d gone to Coffee Bean Tea Leaf at Rail Mall, but this week in particular, she was craving Revelry’s Cookie Monster milkshake, and so we headed there. Lo and behold, beside Revelry where Nook Pancakes used to be,…
Just earlier today, I was thinking about being 40,000ft away from everyone and their bullshit and then this came in my email – I’m not sure if it’s a targeted promotion but this has piqued my interest to try the spanking new Terminal 4. I’ve been excited about it ever since PM Lee posted photos…
