My blind date with Lunch Actually

I got my makeup done, complete with falsies; I dusted the specks off my strappy heels and I slipped into my favourite all-occasion black dress. What am I dressing up to the nines for again? I asked myself as I stared in the mirror, nearly unable to recognise that woman looking back at me. That […]

Lunch Actually: Setting a match for you

To be very frank, I would have never approached a dating agency to set up matches for me. Yes, it is still a stigma in the Asian context especially and people generally feel somewhat embarrassed if they have to rely on an agency to get dates. However, when professional dating agency Lunch Actually invited me […]

Mount Bromo – Mount Ijen – Madakaripura Waterfalls

Mount Ijen Madakaripura Waterfalls I’ve been to Mt Bromo once – last year – but the sunrise was very cloudy and I was sorely disappointed. I told myself I would come back again and I did this month with Drea Chong. It was a pretty last minute trip and we only booked the flights the […]

[FITSPO] Denise Tan

This girl is UBER cool can. She’s only 20, but she can breakdance like a superstar! I’ve always been awed by all these breakdancers, but to see a girl do it is rare and I am blown away. She also does other types of dance like street jazz, waacking and hiphop. TOO COOL. Read about her […]

Samujana Villa 30 – Welcome to my castle

You know, after staying at Samujana Villa 30, it’s gonna be hard to top that. The panoramic views, excellent personal service and overwhelming luxury, I really got spoilt rotten in the three nights I spent there. [Read about my first impressions of it.] I wish I didn’t have to leave paradise, but reality just loves […]

[FITFIND] Farreez Rosman

I got to know Farreez through ELITE, where he impressed everyone with his crazy engine at Round 1 in April. He finished second then and further impressed everyone with his strength – pulling a crazy 245kg deadlift – to come in second again. His consistency placed him as the top qualifier and he is the […]

[FITSPO] Victoria Lim

You know how sometimes I feature my friends on Yahoo #Fitspo, but other times I make friends through Yahoo #Fitspo? Victoria is an example of the latter. I see her around in the box but I never talked to her until I decided to approach her to be featured. The friendship has been more dramatic […]

How to test drive a car

The standard test drive that car buyers get is literally just a few rounds in the showroom’s vicinity accompanied by a sales staff. It’s never enough, I feel, for anyone to properly try the car out, but that’s what we motoring journalists are for. It is our responsibility to review the car as thoroughly as […]

Currently serving his national service, Lionel is balancing his work and training. He prefers having a lean body, saying, “Guys on social media seem to want to get big and strong, but in my opinion […]
