City Girl, City Stories is 7!

24 October 2021 in DIARY
Header photo by Dagmara Dombrovska on Unsplash This little Singapore/Hong Kong lifestyle blog of mine celebrated its 7th birthday last week! It’s pretty crazy sometimes to think that I’ve been at it for this long and that this blog has captured so many years of adventures and memories. Even though citygirlcitystories.com is a hobby blog and a small

Marina Bay Sands 3D2N Staycation!

30 September 2021 in EATS, FUN, SINGAPORE, STAYCATION
When I started City Girl, City Stories almost seven years ago in Hong Kong, I had this idea and longtime wish to share my city life adventures, inspired very much by the living abroad life I was experiencing at the time. This aim to share my city adventures remains true today. :) I’m not saying

Orchestral Manoeuvres: Sound & Music Exhibition

7 September 2021 in ARTS & CULTURE, SINGAPORE
My first visit to Marina Bay Sands’ ArtScience Museum was in late 2013, to check out Chanel’s The Little Black Jacket exhibition. I was wowed and delighted to have the opportunity to catch the touring show in Singapore and since then, the museum has remained one of my favourites for always bringing in the most

Dale Chihuly: Glass in Bloom Exhibition

18 August 2021 in ARTS & CULTURE, SINGAPORE
Hello, August! I pulled a little disappearing act over here for a bit, which was very much not intentional and at many points throughout July, I kept trying to pull myself to share the blog post I wanted to share (which is this one today) but I just wasn’t in a great headspace.  Ever since

☀️ A day in the life: out of office edition ☀️ 

I've been enjoying browsing "a day in the life" posts shared by others, so I thought I'll share one of my own. :) Here's a day I captured, when I was out of office a few weeks ago for a much needed break. 😌 

🍳 Started the day at my neighbourhood Starbucks, eating a small breakfast and started on a bit of blogging again~ 

📚 Popped over to the bookstore @booksbeyond.borders to donate some books and browse more books & wonderful things! 

🍽 📽Off to a buffet lunch! Stuffed myself happy, then dashed to the cinema @theprojectorsg to catch a screening of Angelina Jolie's <Maria> 

🍵 Walked over to @baristartcoffee_sg inside another bookstore @bookxcess and had grand plans to read my book, but ended up contemplating my career instead. 😆 

That's a day in my life (OOO edition), how do you spend yours?

Before we dive head first into 2025, my sister @wording_art and I spent a spontaneous few days in our (other) favourite city: Hong Kong! 🌟 

After the craziness of 2024, this sister trip felt like a much needed reset. Thanks HK, for letting us live our best lives. 😄✨️ 

Some snapshots here, more to come~

2024 has been full of surprises so far! Mostly in great ways though. 😄 This year has also been one of my busiest ones in recent memory. ☁️ 

In other news, my blog citygirlcitystories.com that I started when I graduated from university turns 10 years old next week! 🥳 Ahh, where does the time go... 😶‍🌫️ Life's demands meant that I took an unexpected hiatus from my blog, but if you'll kindly hope with me, perhaps I could return to it soon! 🍀

(Compiled from three weekends haha, because I have long given up on sharing anything online "on time". 😆)
The first half of 2024 was tiring... in more ways The first half of 2024 was tiring... in more ways than one. Despite that, I had a hard stop in May to take time off, flew across the world and landed in London, a city that has been on my travel list for ages!! 🇬🇧 

A week full of (mostly) British summer weather, incredible art and stunning museums, charming bookshops, the most beautiful libraries, scones and tea, I really enjoyed London! 😊💛 

I hope to catch up with Instagram/blogging soon, which I completely fell off from, and there's stuff from Singapore/Hong Kong/London I'd love to share, but for now, here's two candid photos captured by @wording_art reflecting my happiness on this trip. :) 

🌼 Looks like I'm doing a weird dance but was actually avoiding rain puddles at Kenwood House, one of my favourite places I visited! 

🖼 Visited several of London's wonderful museums and this was at the National Portrait Gallery, where I got to see the famed "Portrait of Mai (Omai)" in person! 🤩 I was following this acquisition story in the news and was especially delighted when I heard that it was on display during my trip. :) 

More soon and here's to the second half of 2024! ✨️🤞
Books are a huge passion in my life and for 2024, Books are a huge passion in my life and for 2024, I plan to try harder to bring more of my book recommendations to my blog! :) For my first rec this year, I'm excited to share "Dearest New York: A Love Letter to New York" by Deirdre Gartner @girlintheyellowtaxinyc 🚕

If you'd like to, I'd be delighted if you check out my review on citygirlcitystories.com As a bonus, I also have a Q&A with the author herself! 🤩 

I'm actually a huge fan of the @girlintheyellowtaxinyc blog and Instagram, so I loved hearing from Deirdre about life in NYC and her experience being a native New Yorker. Do check out the full author interview on my blog! (link in bio) 🍎
