Notes from Zhuo’s The Making of a Manager
As I was combing through my Notes app on my iPhone, I came across these notes while reading Julia Zhuo’s The Making of a Manager. I finished reading this book late last year. The contents of the book are more of “common sense”, but it is still an excellent reminder to everyone, whether you’re a … Continue reading
Highlights of My Life
New ‘cool’ cafes keep on popping up in the Little Red Dot in the last couple of years. Most of these places are more style than substance, more of like a ‘be seen’ place rather than a ‘good place to eat and relax’. That is why we came up with this list to help manage our expectations when visiting these new hip and trendy cafes. Meaning, not to expect too much.
Rovaniemi, Finland is more than a 50 degree drop from where we come from, the sunny Singapore. The coldest place I’ve ever been prior to Lapland was standing for 30 seconds in a -20 degree fish freezer in Jurong for one of my projects/clients and all it did me was stink of fish all day. Other … Continue reading
Thanks to a friend’s recommendation, I bought myself a lovely Christmas present – a HappyCall. You can check out HappyCall here, some reviews here and recipes all around the internet. I’ve already used and ‘roasted’ a whole chicken in it as well as some stir fry. It’s only this time that I documented a recipe … Continue reading

- When in Singapore, don't miss a visit to the Arab Street and its neighboring lanes like Bussorah St., Haji Lane and Baghdad St. In these streets you'll find great fare, cute shops selling anything and everything that you can think of (cute Japanese bikes, handmade postcards, physical store of a blog shop, etc.), and great views. It's the only place (I think) in Singapore with graffiti (wonderful graffitis - the artsy stype). The Perenakan houses also adds to the charm of this area. When there, try visiting Alaturka, a Turkish restaurant at Bussorah Street or the nearby hawker center Kampong Glam. Photo by iamjoyceee • Instagram.
