Exploring Singapore: Tiong Bahru

17 February 2015 in EXPLORE, SINGAPORE
(Scanned image of Tiong Bahru from Jo’s Creations card – Art by Jo’s Creations) In recent years, I have heard so much about the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood, from anyone ranging from my Singaporean friends to friends who visited Singapore and most recently, it was mentioned in the middle of a work related meeting too! For a

On My Bookshelf

13 February 2015 in BOOKS
One of the things I wish I could talk to people more about is books. I only know a handful of friends who read actively and it’s always fun to ask “What are you reading?” and then launching into a conversation about books. :) Personally, I’ve been a huge reader for as long as I can

The Dining Room: Shanghainese Food

5 February 2015 in EATS, HONG KONG
Shanghai is on the top of my to-visit wish list at the moment, but since I’m in Hong Kong right now, what I like to do is try various Shanghainese food eateries until I get to visit Shanghai one day! I’ve been to The Dining Room a few times and since I liked the food

Singapore Diary: 2014

26 January 2015 in DIARY, SINGAPORE
To follow my previous touristy Singapore post, I thought it’ll be fun to share a version of Singapore that is more everyday. :) Here are just a few random snapshots from my trip back there last year, featuring Christmas decorations, neighbourhood strolls and local Singapore eats! This is my childhood-teenage library! :) I’ve seen Hello

☀️ 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) 🍎
