As I trod along through my 30s, my skincare needs went from pure hydration to anti-aging. Especially now that I'm scarily close to 40, I have to start taking the necessary steps to ensure I will age well naturally. I plan to stay away from botox and plastic surgery. I want to look Diane Keaton,… Continue reading Anti-aging Ingredients De-mystified
In search of the perfect sunscreen
I wish someone had told the importance of sunscreen when I was in my 20s. It was only when lines and spots caused by the sun started appearing on my face that I started taking sunscreen seriously. I never liked putting on sunscreen. All these years, I thought the higher the SPF, the better it… Continue reading In search of the perfect sunscreen
We Can’t Have It All
The past week has been a flurry of activity in the market, and personally, a week of pain. Theme of the week: missed opportunities. It started when Icahn sold his shares of Netflix (ticker NFLX) ahead of the 7:1 stock split on 7/15. I should have bought some then. Then the split took place and… Continue reading We Can’t Have It All
Property Makeover Part 1
Sheng and I are re-doing the entire first floor of his house. Having seen so many episodes of remodeling programs on HGTV such as Love It or List It, Property Brothers, Flip or Flop etc, I feel I possess some expertise in remodeling. I'm super excited about my first pet remodeling project. Here is a… Continue reading Property Makeover Part 1
It Probably Hurts More This Time
NBA 2015 Playoffs. WCF just concluded last night with the crowning of GSW as the kings of the west. Congrats Steph Curry for the championship and MVP, and to Steve Kerr for a great rookie coach year. A month ago, I had envisioned the same happening to my beloved LA Clippers. The Clips making franchise… Continue reading It Probably Hurts More This Time
Where Its Name Precedes It
I just got back from another amazing trip to Boston. I stayed a few days more this time and did all the touristy things including a trip to Mike's Pastry. First time I saw it was at Harvard Square. It was a nice looking shop with some patrons. It caught my eye as I was… Continue reading Where Its Name Precedes It
The Reward System
I am a self-confessed Clash of Clans addict. If you haven't heard of this game, you either don't have an Apple or Android device, or you don't deserve one. Over a year ago (before I was introduced to the game), the app where I spent the most time on my iPhone was either Facebook or… Continue reading The Reward System
The Passing…
Today, I received a text from Bingwei telling me about the passing of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's first prime minister. My reaction when I saw the text was like my reaction on 9/11/01 when my mom called to tell me about the World Trade Center. I didn't believe it. It's gotta be a joke,… Continue reading The Passing…
Piu Buio Di Mezzanotte
Gosh, has it only been 3 weeks since I got back from my road trip? Seems like a lifetime away. I always feel this way coming back from a vacation. Feels surreal and a distant memory the moment I got back to my routine life. Does this happen to you too? Anyway, I got a… Continue reading Piu Buio Di Mezzanotte
As the curtain closes…
Ok, time to take a bow. One final post on my epic adventure just to sum it up and give it a closure (like we need for most things like relationships long gone). If you had read my earlier posts, you can tell that it has been an amazing trip for me, way better than… Continue reading As the curtain closes…
