Christmas, 2020
This year’s Christmas celebration was a simple but meaningful gathering here at our home in Pasir Ris. Our housemates prepared a noche buena spread of some classic Filipino dishes like lumpia, extra tender Bistek Tagalog, slices of Christmas ham, menudo, and juicy Bellychon (with lemongrass filling). PJ has a video demonstration of how housemate D […]

So, we’ve reached the end of the year
The coronavirus will not expire on 31st December. But I bet we wish it could. I’m comfortable. I’m working from home. I can exercise from home. I can order lunch and dinner to be brought to my doorstep. I can press a few buttons to have groceries delivered. I can chat with friends and loved […]

My November 2020 Photo Recap
A pandemic continues to grip the world. This was my third month in our new house in Pasir Ris. Home is where everything is right now. Meals, workouts, and work. I have no plans to change any of that until this pandemic is over. The past month also saw some triumphs. Biden beat Trump and […]

iPhone 12 unboxing… while drinking soju
Gaaah. I filmed this a month ago. But I only got to editing it over the weekend. I’ve had an iPhone 7 since 2016… so getting an upgrade in 2020 is WORTH IT. Face ID? Charging without a cord? Portrait mode that WORKS? Those are no longer strange and foreign concepts for me. Lol. Enjoy […]

Monthsary Location: The Sushi Bar at TAmpines 1
PJ and I celebrated our monthsary at The Sushi Bar (Tampines 1). I made reservations by sending them an SMS a few days back. I was excited to take PJ for a sushi restaurant experience (compared to our usual conveyor belt sushi). Plus, The Sushi Bar is only one MRT station away. The restaurant covers […]

The President of the United States has the Coronavirus
Why am I not surprised? This whole year is a collective nightmare. Some people are actually celebrating the fact that a sitting U.S. president is down with the virus. Of those who are infected, President Trump obviously falls within the vulnerable. But he’s the president. He’ll have the best doctors and medical staff surrounding him. […]

September 2020
I wanted to squeeze in a quick update. I promised myself I’ll write a blog before the weekend ends. Even with a pandemic… much is happening at home. Since my last post, I’ve relocated to Pasir Ris together with PJ and my flatmates. We moved to a town that most commuters read and hear as […]

Visiting Pasir Ris Town Park and Pasir Ris Park
I wanted to escape the house earlier and visit two parks in neighboring Pasir Ris. Bus 15 from opposite Temasek Poly makes a few stops in Tampines before ending its journey across the TPE at Pasir Ris Bus Interchange. From the interchange, I followed the crowds around these construction barriers to reach the entrance of […]

Happy 55th birthday, Singapore.
Almost 20 million people worldwide have been hit by the virus. That’s over 20 million lives and their families, friends, social circles, workplaces, churches that have been changed by what started out as just another news item back in December. I recognise that I’m lucky to be in Singapore which has done an aggressive job […]
