Who am I...?

An ex-journo and former techno phobe from Singapore living in Tokyo, I worked in print media for six years until I moved countries in 2006 and used the Internet as a way to have a viable, mobile career. Now, I'm a blogger on the go who runs an online beauty biz from wherever I might be. I never thought I would ever morph into a web chick - but here I am.

This blog is about...

...The ups and downs of expat life, trailing partner issues, food, travel, and Japanese culture. It's a way to keep in touch with friends back home and all over the world, plus it's a corner for me to showcase my work. But really, I'm just a restless spirit looking for great adventures and fabulous food.

FAVE POSTS

These are my readers’ top 10 fave posts…

Meiji amino collagen: Miracle or farce. I really have to thank Oprah for this one because the product was featured on her show, Beauty Secrets From Around The World.

The Singapore Prime Minister dishes out dating advice. I don’t get political on my blog but this one brought in a heap of traffic from Singapore.

My favourite Japanese shampoo. Ah, the power of Japanese beauty products. ‘Nuff said.

What it feels like being retrenched was an honest snapshot of my state of mind during this period. Losing a job is not the end of the world, and when something major like this happens, it can only change you for the better.

My Coach obsession was my red sports car. I went bonkers before I turned 30 and it showed that collecting stuff was not my thing after all.

Teaching English in Japan: Getting the job. Glad this was of help to many peeps. I still get emails from readers asking for more in-depth advice on this topic.

The Japanese reinvented the convenience store. I heart conbinis.

A new Japanese recipe: Mirin and soy sauce chicken. This was a surprise because it’s quite a homey type of post. I guess the simple things in life tend to strike a chord with everyone.

My life as a sex columnist in an uptight country. An interesting phase in my career…

Another daily life quirk talks about sanitary napkins and Japanese loo etiquette.
