By The Way - You 'oughta' HOTA

A thick yellow leaftlet with the Human Organ Transplant Act just arrived in the mail in the same batch as my reminder for my NTUC Income insurance renewal for my Basic Elder Shield Plan. Yes, its sad to think that at Fabulicious Forty, I am considered an Elder? Shudder!! Isn't there a saying that "Life begins at 40!!" New copywriter needed at MOH,...

Breakaway - Moon Over Water & Just Desserts

Sometimes you just have to give yourself a big treat – hear that? BIG TREAT! After all, I think we do enough for all those around us to give ourselves a pat on the back and a nice, well earned reward. If we don’t…let’s face it - no one will!

When I was told that Fullerton was going to re-open what was once San Marco into yet another Italian restaurant, I must admit I suppressed a yawn. (Sorry, C – being honest here.) Another Italian place? We need another one, just like we need another ERP gantry. But having since been there twice – within a three-week period – I stand thoroughly and head-smackingly...

Did you know it was World Underwear Day yesterday…on 12 August? So, darling, what did you wear? Madam herself has problems on a day-to-day basis organizing matching foundations. I am not disciplined nor extravagant enough to buy matching pairs each time,….and what if I want to put on a dark bottom and light coloured top? We can’t go panda bear through...

BTW - How To Have A Cuppa

Though it’s something we deal with every day of our lives, I confess the bra and other garments for the nether regions still cough up some mysteries for me – and if you were honest, I dare say I do not stand completely alone. So we hunted down Phan Pik Yie (PY for short), the obliging brand manager at Vizon Pte Ltd, for Passionata lingerie (from France...

By The Way - Doggie Style!

Chart courtesy of the Hong Kong Observatory I stopped complaining about the Singapore weather especially after I experienced Summer in Hong Kong.Humid and horrible, its best described as being akin to being roasted in an oven and then grilled in a hotpot of disgusting heavy laden polluted air. I am definitely a cold weather fan.This weekend was exceptionally...
