One of my favourite places for pasta is Ambush. It is tucked within the gourmet section of the Takashimaya basement food court. Not only are the pastas affordable, they are super yummy too. In particular the seafood dishes, which I have a soft spot for. I like to call this...
After attending various bloggers/technology events without being able to give out my name card when I needed to, I knew I needed to get something done. Still, it wasn’t until the recent iX conference that triggered me to finally get off my lazy ass and have those name cards printed!...
For Part 2 of our dessert-tasting excursion (Part 1), we visit Icekimo, an ice creamery and café just off Upper Thomson Road. Ever had pasta with the Ferrero Rocher chocolate in it? No? Well, read on! Decked out entirely in hues of girlish pink and white, this cute little place...
Argh! Why did I play this scary video? Now I can’t fall asleep tonight! These parents had suspected that their babysitter was stealing from them. So they planted a video camera in the baby’s room. When they checked the footage later, they saw something pretty freaky. It looks real too....
Over the weekend, I went on a dessert-tasting excursion. The first venue of the day was Blue Magnolia along MacPherson Road. It’s a sweet little cafe with 80 percent of its space utilised as the kitchen, and the remaining 20 percent for dining customers. Blue Magnolia sells freshly baked cakes...

This blog has been around since November 2003. In just a few months’ time, Sparklette would turn 4! Yet it was only a year ago that I started taking my blogging seriously. Blogging whatever I wanted simply wasn’t good enough anymore. I decided that what I wrote should provide value...
Guys! Guys! These are freakin’ hilarious! You would love it! In a recent post, I described how a local blogger played a prank on a timeshare scam company. That was really funny! Then I came across these telephone conversations by American comedian tom mabe, who makes a living out of...
I made a trip to the Singapore Jurong Bird Park recently. I know what you’re thinking! Yikes, who wants to go visit birds right? It’s a shame that many Singaporeans find the Bird Park boring. We tend to go there only on school excursions and rarely make a return trip...
One Sunday afternoon, I chilled out at Brotzeit. It’s a German bar restaurant at VivoCity. Enjoying a good ol’ German beer in the alfresco area overlooking the sea (with Sentosa in the distance) was totally relaxing! Credit Seriously, nothing beats having a stress-free day drinking beer by the sea. Since...
