Happy April Fools' Day

Went with Jessie to Pasir Ris E-Hub to watch a local movie today, and it was only our second time watching movie together since 2010!The local movie we watched was 'Kidnapper'.KidnapperI personally gave a ratings of : 8.5 out of 10 (Compared with other local movies)This is the best local movie I ever watched, and I personally feel that this is one of the first 'real' movies Singapore ever produced.What do I meant by 'real'? Take the famous '881' and '12 Lotus' for examples, these movies are actually musical movies. Take Jack Neo's movies for example, all of his movies are very Singaporean-ish (foreigners wouldn't understand), and also filled...

Motorbike

Like my previous post has said, I sold my bike. I've been riding a bike for almost 5 years, and suddenly without a personal transport would definitely make me feel uneasy. But luckily, so far so good, the 'uneasiness' haven really striked me yet.You might have just guessed it correctly, the above picture is my first bike, Honda NSR 150, much popularly known as Honda SP.As you can see from the picture, I still have my P-Plate on, the paintwork-design looks kinda 'beng', and if you noticed, there isn't any side mirrors. I went against the law and took my risk (of personal safety, & capture by authorities) by removing the side mirrors. The reason?...

Gorgeous nature-inspired decor - vases, illuminaries, tealights, etc.

My trip to Boston in February left me with tons of inspiration and business cards from the plethora of adorable shops and boutiques. One of those shops was E.R. Butler & Co.; known for it's fine architectural details, but what made my jaw drop was the beautiful porcelain treasures and jewelry. Here are a few of my favs. -The Ted Muehling pieces were simply amazing - the candlesticks, and the exceptionally delicate porcelain vases and candle holders. I'm especially drawn to objects with elements taken from nature - so the "coral" luminaries and tulip tea light especially.They also have a lot of unique, and stunning jewelry like these cuffs...

A "Belgian" rustic cottage with modern elegance

I'm not sure what "Belgian Rustic" means, but whatever it is I like it!The dark wood timbers mixed with lighter neutrals is a palette I've always liked, and the nod to nature and a rustic "tied-to-the-earth" aesthetic is relaxing and homey.Great sculpture!Love this wooden armoire.via Lonny ...

Some yummy soaps to pamper yourself or someone who needs a little r&r

I was really grateful to Spirit Beauty Lounge for sending out two lovely soaps. One was from Skinny Skinny, an organic Lime and mint bar that is chicly and responsibly packaged and produce. This was great after the beach ( I spent the last three weeks visiting my sister in Tampa). The sent wasn't overly herbal like a lot of herbal soaps - but refreshing. Did I mention the lovely packaging?The other treat I received was Nostalgia Organics Lavender Flowers. It was really tough to use this one as soap - as great as it is - because the scent is so wonderful. I had it on my desk for awhile before testing it and every now and then I'd get a whiff...
