Grocery shopping when hungry is one of the most rookie adult mistakes one can make. Naturally, it’s one I make almost every single time. I go into Woolworths with the intention of just buying broccoli, tuna and some bread and emerge with three cans of Pringles, two tubs of Golden Gaytime ice cream, a 1kg […]
I’ve been so many places I’ve seen so many faces But nothing compares To these blue and yellow Reuben Hills in Surry Hills. A Sydney institution, you can always count on a super vibrant Surry Hills crowd gathered outside of Reuben Hills. With an eclectic breakfast menu influenced by Mexican, Asian and a host of […]
I love chips. I love them in bags, I like them in cans and I like them alongside my burger. I love them covered in sauce, chicken salt and gravy. I love Lay’s, Kettles and Pringles. However, I don’t like Grain Waves. Screw those shoddy imitation chips. I rather go to Brainwave Cafe in Ultimo. […]
As time has passed, my taste in music has changed drastically. Growing up, I listened to whatever my sister was listening to. This consisted mostly of R&B and sad break up songs when boys would dump her (confession: she only really got dumped once and the guy told her he was leaving the country immediately. It […]
There are some things that I’ll just never forget. The birth of my nephews. The day I finally conquered the HSC and threw my protective elbow sleeve on a roof. The time I finally caught every single Pokémon in existence (before the dudes at Game Freak decided to release another five hundred to keep me […]
One of my food blogging heroes, Chocolatesuze once dished out the greatest analogy of all time. I’m not going to tell you what we were talking about but this analogy is so good that context isn’t even required: “They’re like oatmeal. No matter what you do with it, it still tastes the same.” That’s the […]
You’re not going to believe this but I’m not very adventurous. My idea of weekend adventure consists of sleeping in past 6 o’clock and delaying my afternoon nap ’til 1 o’clock. The most exciting thing I’ve done recently is putting two scoops of ice cream between two Krispy Kreme donuts and devouring it all within […]
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from repeated viewings of 8 Mile is that you have one shot. One opportunity. Eminem taught a generation that you’ve got to lose yourself in the music, the moment, you better never let it go. Don’t let a chance slip on by or let the moment pass. Who knows […]
Whenever I have trouble sleeping, I close my eyes and visualise the same thing. I’m a little bit younger, I’m wearing a suit and I’m eagerly awaiting to hear my name called out by the commissioner of the NBA Draft. For those who don’t know, there is an event called the “draft” every year in […]
There were a lot of things I missed out on growing up in a Chinese household. I never celebrated Christmas with my family or Easter or Thanksgiving. Hell, we never even gathered everyone around the television set to watch the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. I missed out on years of Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr […]
Once upon a time, I was in a doomed relationship. There were many signs throughout the tenure that hinted at our inevitable demise but one particular moment made it a bit more obvious than anything. We were walking along the street hand in hand. All of a sudden, she pulled away and sprinted off in […]
There are a lot of random things I want in life. I want a premium bath robe like the ones they provide in hotels (every hotel in the world has just been flagged that I am a likely robe thief), I want a mini fridge for my bedroom (so that I never have to leave […]
