Flat Tyre
Had a humongous screw lodged on my car tyre the other day. The husband heard an audible ‘dub dub dub’ sound while driving slowly with the windows wound down (it’s true, he has supersonic hearing abilities).

Yam Rice
Yam rice was my grandma’s staple dish on days she didn’t feel like whipping up a table-ful of dishes for lunch. It is up there with chicken rice as her favourite all-in-one-rice cooker meals. Alas it wasn’t as easy to make as I thought it was. What’s so hard about throwing all the raw […]

Another Shoe Story
I braved the Orchard Road Christmas period evening rush the other day, in a car nonetheless! Was raining cats and dogs too. I drove, with hubby beside me giving instructions and gripping the seat at the same time. Purpose: To buy a new pair of Birkenstocks. Parked at the HDB parking behind Wheelock Place and […]
The Oddest Place to Lose Your Shoes is….
… in a funeral parlour. Happened to me earlier this month. Lost my sandals in a funeral parlour. I had it for less than 4 months, it was very comfy, and it wasn’t cheap. Looked something like the picture above. I was at a proclaimed 5-star memorial center, where the funeral wake for my relative […]
