The latest social media app that is now a mini craze in Singapore is Dayre!
Dayre is a mobile blogging app which allows you to post mini bits of your day (in words or pics or video) throughout each day... and all these will form your blogpost for the day!
Me too have started a Dayre blog and will be blogging there more frequently, mostly about my daily happenings...
so do follow me on Dayre? my username is sugarn5pice.. you can also view it on a browser at http://dayre.me/sugarn5pice
thanks~
will still blog here too but mostly for those long and pic-heavy posts of major events in my life..
here I am blogging about where I went for my birthday family lunch this year (gosh this was 5 months ago!)... really a procrastinator lol
Actually wanted to go MUSEO at Quayside Isle cause the view looked spectacular but it was fully booked for all weekends till 28th July. sad. But guess it was a blessing in disguise, cause, with the haze (was at its worst on my bday week!), whatever beautiful scenery would have been obscured anyway. lol
Ended up opting for RISE at MBS after hearing that it is good.
Totally in love with the Minions from Despicable Me!
And before I went to catch Despicable Me 2, I suddenly had an idea of how I can "have a picture taken" with the minions! (k la, idea ripped off this week's 8days cover feature.. lol)
TADAH!
lol.. ok, here's the "behind the scenes" pictures:
Haven been updating my blog much, I know. So many things I wanted to blog about but I think by this time it is already too backdated that I've decided to give up on it!
So! decided to blog about the most recent happening and that is my birthday!
2013's birthday will definitely be a memorable one thanks to our friendly Indonesian neighbours who gave me the Haze as a birthday present! I even received some "Happy Hazy Birthday" messages from friends lol!
I think this following pic really summarises my birthday this year!
The McDonald's Hello Kitty Craze + the super bad haze (reached 400+ on 21st Jun)! hell, it even has my birthday date stamped on it!
Remember Monster Inc? I'm sure most, if not all, of us have watched it and LOVED it! I sure did! Its, by far, one of my favourite cartoon and that says a lot since I'm a big cartoon lover!
I still remember many details about Monster Inc (duh, after watching it over and over again! I even bought the DVD so I can rewatch it at my convenience..)~
Like how Boo keep calling out "Mike Wazowski", and how all the monsters were so scared of being touched by human and human things like a silly little sock!
And how Mike's face got covered by a barcode when they were on the magazine but he was still so happy:
LOL!!
Can you believe Monster Inc was first released in 2001?? Gosh, that was 12 years ago!
And 12 years later, they are FINALLY releasing the prequel to Monster Inc! MONSTER UNIVERSITY!
The "Monster University" campus looks nice doesn't it? Almost makes me want to attend university there. Almost. lol
Given the big hit Monster Inc was, I definitely am super excited to catch it! Can't wait to see Mike Wazowski and Sulley on the big screen and enjoy their camaraderie! And of course to find out how life was for them before they joined Monster Inc and started their careers as "scarers"!
and look at the Big group of monsters! Can't wait to meet the new characters whom I'm sure will bring us more laughter~
Also, I love watching movies which revolves around school life (better to watch than to school.. heehee)!
And guess what? Monster University opens in SG theatres on MY BIRTHDAY! heehee~ all the more I have to go catch it, on its opening day hopefully~
LOL at Mike's student pass! Poor mike, always can't get a full shot of himself.. haha
Leaving you with a sneak peek at the movie... the official movie trailer~
I actually read abt this new burger place on many bloggers' blog and had been meaning to try it but didn't make the effort to go down to Far East Plaza to try!
Then, heard a review on it on Class 95 by Yasminne and the way she described it made me crave for a good burger right away! And then, somehow, soooo many people were posting pictures of burgers on their instagram and it intensified my cravings..
So I headed down to Far East Plaza when I happened to be near newton area to buy myself some burger! WARNING: Drool-worthy pictures ahead, so don't read on if you're hungry or if its the middle of the night lol.
Always wanted to watch a Shakespeare in the Park play cause of the interesting outdoor theatre concept!
So when my cousin told me she got a pair of tickets but didn't wanna go, I jumped at the chance and immediately contacted Ida to ask her if she's free to go with me! luckily for me, she was!
This year, the play was Othello which was by the Singapore Repertory Theatre. It was held at Fort Canning Green~
I blog mainly to write and share about what I'm passionate about and I am definitely passionate about this "singing competition"- The Voice!
In particularly, The Voice 4!
I really really loooooove the concept of The Voice. Of how everything starts with the Blind Auditions where people are judged and compete on solely on their VOICE (how aptly the show was named!)! Everything else is put aside - image, race, size and even gender! And because of this, almost all the contestants selected through the audition rounds have amazing and, for some, unique voices!
To be honest, I only started watching the Voice when I caught snippets of the Voice 2 on cable (replays).. I love Christina Aguilera (the epitome of a great voice.. apt again) because of her powerful vocals and also how she carries herself and her style (more so in the earlier years of her career) and I was hooked after I noticed the tremendous talent the Voice showcased!
My fave of Voice 2 was Lindsey Pavao!
somehow I really love indie-sounding voices.. i dunno why.. something twinkling and special about these kinda voices!
I'm sure many of you would have heard by now that the famous French Pâtisserie, Ladurée, recently opened its first Singapore outlet! Ladurée is one of the best known makers of macarons in the world [Source: Wikipedia].
Personally I'm not a fan of macarons. The first and only macaron I've ever eaten (before this) was from Bakerz Inn.. and seriously, I was wondering what's the big craze over macarons about? If you're on Instagram, you're sure to see the influx of macaron pictures flooding the timeline.
Anyway, after hearing soooo many people hype about Ladurée macarons, I just had to go down to their Singapore store to get myself some!
Ladurée is located inside Takashimaya Shopping Centre. Their main store is at L2 while their counter (selling mainly macarons) is at L1. The counter is near Chanel and LV~ But I heard the L2 store also sells their famous macarons.
i finally got my Canon S110! wanted to get the S100 last yr but i got scammed into buying a pentax.. zzz..
anyway, my friend adelene managed to help me buy the S110 at lower than its retail price of $599 and it came with extra goodies too~ major thanks to her =)
Attended Jeff Chang's (张信哲) concert on 9th Mar 2013 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium!
Was so psyched to attend! Really love his voice and songs and have been idolising him since i was 12~ he's like 46 now.. you really know you are old already when all your childhood idols are in their 40s or 50s.. lol
haven't been blogging much so i tot i'd do a post abt smtg more recent, before clearing the backlogs of things i want to blog but haven done so!
psst... changed my blogskin and my header! love my header! the tinkerbell graphic is so pretty~
anyway, the year of the snake has dawned upon us! i dun like snakes but the year ahead promises to be a good one for my chinese zodiac apparently.. tho i don't really feel like it has been good so far~ everything was not going well 2-3 weeks ago and only turned to be normal this week.. wld be happy with just normal actually.. haha
Pre-CNY
every CNY i'd try to bake something.. this time i tried baking cornflake cookies again! well, cuz i like to eat them.. haha.. and pineapple tarts requires too much effort!
some time, long long ago, in 2012 (october i think), I had my first dining experience during Restaurant Week!
Thanks to Yu shan who jio-ed us and made reservations for us at the Tasting Room @ Marina Square! She also nicely called the restaurant to ask if there were any other mains than Duck and Beef cuz I'm not a fan of both.. =)
