Hi hi!! Typically when I give any attention to my haters at all, my readers will always tell me... "Why are you giving THEM attention? Shouldn't you be just paying attention to people to love you, like us?" I do. I try my best to. I always try to reply nice people who @mention me on twitter and I appreciate all the love I get from so so many of you. Sometimes, just thinking about it makes me cry, and I have a big boxful of gifts and touching sincere handwritten letters from readers that I look at once in a while to just soak in all the blessings and adoration I've been bestowed upon by strangers. I am grateful to each and every one of you, I am. But here's where the but comes in. It isn't easy to ignore the haters. It is easy to THINK it is, but hell it's super difficult. I wish there is a non-condescending way of saying this, but here it is - You won't understand unless you are famous. If I had to come up with a statistic, I'd say that about 1,0...

Advertorial Do you guys remember THIS little guy?   Yes, this is Furby!! Back in 1998, Furby was the IT toy, so super popular that kids everywhere were disappointed as Furbies flew off the shelves and they couldn't get their own! More than 40 million Furbies were sold and  I remember I badly wanted one as they so resembled Gizmo, the cute gremlin from the Gremlins movie! Plus, Furbies could talk and move!! So adorable! Till today, there are many toy collectors who still kept their Furbies and they are still functional!! Madness. Time really flies - after 15 long years, Furby is back again!! I was invited to Furby 2012's official launch and haven't never owned a Furby before, I totally didn't know what to expect. But after a runway show where the dancing Furbies were brought into the room, EVERYONE SQUEALED BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST BEYOND ADORABLE!! The Furbies came in 6 different colours and all have distinct personalities depending on how you treat them!! They squirm...

Hope the title of the blog entry made it clear. It appears a lot of people are STILL misunderstanding the previous post but quite honestly I've got so much going on in my life right now that I simply do not have the time to do another blog post on it. Currently my mother in law is in Singapore. I bought a ticket for her a few months ago because I saw my friend write a loving facebook post to her husband and I suddenly had an overwhelming bout of gratitude and guilt about my own husband giving up so much to be with me. He misses his family and friends over in the states and yet here he remains, halfway across the globe, steadfast, more and more locked in to this foreign country as we get our car, our house, and now, our soon-to-be-born baby. And what did I ever do to deserve this much love and sacrifice? And so at 2am in the morning I was hit with an inspiration to fly my mother in law Ann over, for it is her first time flying so far away from the states and not only will Mike enjoy...

HOLLA!! Missed me? I'm back!!! Sorry for the long break in between this post and the previous, I blame it on the pregnancy. I'm blaming everything on the pregnancy while I still can, it is extremely convenient. No but seriously... I just came back from Tokyo and Taipei a week ago. The holiday was very kindly sponsored by Expedia , who flew Qiuqiu, Cheesie, Audrey and me to the aforementioned destinations for what was one of the best trips of my life!! Mike was rather reluctant to let me go, for there were rumours about radiation (I did my research, it seems there is no concrete evidence - one report even said Singapore has a higher radiation level than Tokyo!) or flying not being safe for the baby. But I asked my gynae and he said to go ahead, afterall I was in my second trimester already and everything seemed stable. And I'm so glad I went!! I was so so so happy when I was there - it was extremely fun hanging out with my fellow girly bloggers and we had so much good food a...

Advertorial So happy to be doing this advertorial because it is for one of my FAVOURITE brands ever!!! As you have probably guessed from the title... r osebullet!! I've always loved Japanese fashion and I love to wear floral prints, (faux) fur, pastel colours etc... rosebullet is one of those brands that is EXACTLY like that. It is very popular in Japan, and the good news is... It is also available in Singapore! I went down to the outlet at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, #B2-116 Canal level for the launch of the new Autumn/Winter 2012 collection called Baby Rock. My face greets me, lol I was so excited because once you go in you can see their famous trademark Angola sets in rainbow colours... Want want want! How to pick?? The coordinates come in a set... Angora fur top made with the softest downy bunny fur you can imagine, a matching ribbon for your hair (how adorable is that?!) plus a tulle skirt with shorts lining inside. Btw in case animal lovers go crazy about the fur bit......
