Credit : Freepik As long as I can remember, I always say that I will be a doctor when I grew up. Coming from an Asian family, profession with titles are revered and encouraged. When I was in kindergarten, the idea was planted in my mind that the best profession is to be a doctor, a pediatrician to be exact because a clinic with stuff toys & colorful walls seems more appealing. So when any grown-ups asked what I wanted to be when I grow up, my response is always, “I want to be a doctor, a … [Read more...]
THAT FUNNY WORD CALLED EXPAT
When I started blogging, I was in the Philippines starting my Family Medicine residency training. I don't have a niche topic for my blog. I would blog about anything and everything under the sun. As I continued on my blogging journey, I also learned that blogs are better if they have a certain niche, more specific the better.

I was never known to be the adventurous type, the kind of girl you can spontaneously invite to climb the mountains at a short notice or someone you can surely call your bungee-jumping partner. I may not be the sporty, thrill-seeker kind-of adventurer but I lean towards a … [Read more...]
DEAR SINGAPORE, GOODBYE
Dear Singapore, Hello! It has been 3 months since I left you but I didn't give you a formal goodbye letter in our 6 years long affair. How should I start? It is difficult like all break-ups.

Apologies for my incoherent introduction to my letter but here goes... I first met you when I was 14 years old during my brief vacation with my … [Read more...]
7 SINGAPORE FOODS TO EAT WHEN YOU MISS FILIPINO FOODS (OFW EDITION)
When I was young, I was never a fan of Pinoy foods. I have always been a picky eater so I would often reject the healthy home-cooked Filipino foods made by our amazing yaya. This is not because it doesn't taste good but rather the familiar & the healthy breeds contempt into my tastebuds. My gullible 6-year-old self would prefer the artificial taste of fast-food junk foods to authentic home-cooked meals. Fast forward when I was in my 30's working in Singapore, somehow I surprisingly craved … [Read more...]
