My eye doctor recently told me kale is the new superfood. It’s good for my eyes and I’m thinking it’s good for basically everything else–my hair, my skin, weight control, etc. I recently developed this arm/hand thing (not carpal, ulnal–the nerve that runs through the ring and pinky finger) which I am hoping will improve [...]
Nom nom nom. I made this ‘nana bread yesterday with a good friend of mine. We used to teach together, and just recently she became a mommy to the most gorgeous little boy. (He’s so funny; I’ve never met a baby so concerned about being clean!) So now whenever I go over to her place, [...]
Today is the last day of my Spanish “class” (not sure whether 2 students qualifies as a class). I stumbled upon this free class by chance and it’s turned out to be one of the best things I’ve done all year. It’s close to work, it’s fun and is the motivation I need to improve [...]
It seems like all I ever bake is quickbread and poundcake. I would much rather be baking tarts filled with pastry cream and berries or flourless chocolate tortes, but they’re actually not very popular at work. I’m starting to think that people like and even prefer simple. I mean, there’s a reason why there are [...]
Granola is great. Especially this one, which is packed with bananas, almonds and raisins and infused with vanilla, orange and cinnamon. I wasn’t planning on baking twice, but am really glad I did. The clusters came out super crunchy and also have a really nice roasted flavor. This batch is for Liam. Hope he likes it! [...]
I had this long weekend all planned out. Dinner with friends on Friday, hiking and studying my Spanish on Saturday. And for Valentine’s Day, one of those independent girlie in the city dinners. But today is Valentine’s Day. And where am I? Sitting alone in a cafe, wondering how I ended up here. And by [...]

It’s late, and I’m exhausted—got some disappointing news at work, was distracted at yoga and am just a little sad that the person I want most by my side is not. Seems like a day to sleep off and forget about. I wish. Tonight is not that night. I can’t sleep. And the only thing [...]
I recently made the biggest leap of my life–giving up job, friends and Asia–for love. Traumatic, sad and teary-eyed, I boarded a plane for San Francisco and haven’t looked back since. But, that isn’t the point of this post. The point is what happened after–how my life has transformed; how I have grown and learned [...]
I am moving to San Francisco! Left Singapore this last Tuesday and am visiting with the parents for a week before driving down to the foodie mecca that is SF! It’s only been 4 days, but I find myself gritting my teeth and wanting to pull my hair out sometimes what with all the constant [...]
This cake is really easy to put together. I ended up halving the recipe and keeping the original bake time, which in the end worked out very well. This might have to do with the fact that I used an 8 inch cake pan rather than a 10 inch as the recipe called for. Actually, [...]
