Trip to Ikea

It thought it was going to be an ordinary lazy Sunday until Vin told me he had to drop by Chai Wan to do some work. Either I was going to sleep all day while he was away or I had to get up and hurry to go with him. Soon enough…

Recipe: Tuna Pasta

Certainly, not a week would pass without pasta intake. I am not sure how it happened but pasta became part of my diet. Be it just a simple bolognese or putanesca, I will surely not decline it. Tonight, I made Tuna Pasta and…

Manna from Hong Kong

If you live in a country where its government gives money to its citizens simply because it has HK 71B (P 398B) as surplus, then you must be proud you belong to that country. The fuss about the HK 6,000 in The Standard 4 Feb…

The Shiseido Pureness Hunt That Was

Ever since I needed to use a facial wash, I have always used either Clinique or at times when I've run out of the former I just the go for the regular Pond's.  Admittedly,  Clinique  is a pretty much expensive bea…

From time to time, when I get fed up with Italian or Filipino food, I also crave for some Chinese taste.  And tonight was that moment.  We decided to go to Tsim Sha Tsui via the Star Ferry from Central to eat at our favo…

Ysabel's Garden, Queensland Catering - Cassandra's First Birthday

Having a baby is already celebration-worthy. But your baby turning one year old tops the list of all celebrations. Last January, my daughter turned one year old. Not that it was somehow imposed in the family, but we really …

The Biggest in Hong Kong

Last Tuesday night, my husband had a craving like he was some pregnant woman. What he was craving for was not that hard to find though—just pizza. There are actually lots of Pizza Huts all over HK but we’ve agreed that their tas…

"Congratulations, you've just been owned!"

So, this is gonna be rather embarrassing to share than exciting. Ever since, I’ve gotten used to hearing remarks about my very striking birth mark just below the centre of my two eyes. At times, you wouldn’t notice it and…

Paperback Lover

I was in HMV in Central Building with my husband weeks ago. The plan was to get Cassandra a Barney video because she is just so giddy and happy about him... her. Anyway, it was unsuccessful after an hour of going round and ab…
