As my toddlers and I meander down the river of perpetual snot, I find myself wondering if this is what I signed up for. Before they were born I had some idea about impending sleepless nights and crying, but someone failed to mention that very soon my beautiful creatures would be in a state of permanent mucosity as well.

The ninth instalment of a diary that follows the highs, lows and laughs of trying to find love in Sing City. This month, SGLS drops the first S and says goodbye to EL. There’s a man. A man I like, a lot. And, crucially, I think he likes me a lot too. Plus he’s a superhero! ...
So, I'm hearing rumours of a Vegemite drought in Singapore. I'm also aware (from personal trial and error) that there has been none of the black stuff available in the Cold Storages and FairPrices in my neck of the woods for several weeks. This is a concern. If I could have three things on a deserted ...
So what's really in fashion? I'm a little bit confused myself. Is it trendy to be futuristic and be inspired by Star Trek and Star Wars characters or those from other blockbuster sci-fi films? Or, ironically, is it "in" to be back in the 60s or 70s? The fashion trends from the past seem to ...
Prior to coming to Singapore, I knew the word "rebus" as the name for those word puzzles that kept people mildly entertained before the internet arrived, bringing with it the possibility of acquiring entire television series in minutes with one click of the "download" button. Here are some rebuses for old times' sake: 1. SGEG 2. tunnellight 3. ...

Why do they do that? Just when you find the perfect makeup foundation, they take it off the market and you have to start the tiresome search all over again. And what is this nonsense about radiance? Radiance comes from good skin genes, good health, and not having drunk a bottle of wine last night. For ...
I agree the ingredient list sounds incongruous, but this famous dish is well worth a try
Last weekend I attempted to dazzle the beau with my culinary prowess and cook a traditional Sunday roast. I planned all the bells and whistles – Mediterranean vegetables, roast potatoes, rosemary and olive stuffing, a bottle of Nederburg Shiraz and, of course, the magnificent fowl. I felt confident, emboldened by my mother’s training in the ...
The seventh instalment of a diary that follows the highs, lows and laughs of trying to find love in Sing City. This month, SGLS reveals her New Year’s Eve smooch and attacks a gorgeous American.

Don’t miss Pangdemonium!’s brave production of Spring Awakening, now on at the National Library Drama Centre. But you’ll have to be fast – the run ends on 26 February. Who’d have thought they could make a rock musical adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s controversial 1892 German play about teenagers coming of age? And who’d have thought we’d ...
We here at EL are not a conservative lot. But the photo teased in my "Travel Gone Wrong" story in the February issue was deemed too graphic by Expat Living's censors. For good reason, really - we don't typically run images of male genitalia in the mag ... But I felt a little guilty spilling ...

Collision Course: Racism vs. Tolerance in Singapore
It’s not everyday that a Ferrari is totalled. That, in itself, is news. Add in allegations of drinking and driving, speeding, a $1.8 vehicle price tag, infidelity, a 31-year-old driver, a video of the crash going public and three agonising deaths – and the chatter has gone through the roof. There is much to be ...
