NEW BEGINNINGS, NEW ADVENTURE
3 months ago, I boarded a plane that would fly me to a country I have never been to before. My family and I just bid farewell to Singapore, our 2nd home for the last 6 years and I was embarking into yet another new adventure. 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...]

Fast forward when I was in my 30's working in Singapore, somehow I surprisingly craved … [Read more...]
5 WAYS SINGAPORE HAS CHANGED MY TASTEBUDS
When I was just a week in living in Singapore, I was temporarily staying at my friend's unit in Ang Mo Kio. We were ravenous by dinnertime and there was a hawker center nearby the unit. We headed down to check out the food. For the lack of imagination and bravery, I ordered a takeaway of lemon chicken with rice in a styrofoam container. I ate that dry dish in my friend's place with sadness and concluded right then and there that I will never enjoy any food in Singapore and I will be stick-thin … [Read more...]
LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS AS AN OVERSEAS FOREIGN WORKER IN SINGAPORE
As promised in one of my Instagram post (www.instagram.com/littlemisshoney) that I will be writing about the living accommodations for expats like me in Singapore. So here, it is. Are curious about the housing accommodations for an expat in Singapore? Some foreign workers like me are given housing allowances monthly by their companies.
