How to survive a brutal overnight flight from Tokyo to Singapore:

Barely slept on the 2:20 a.m. flight, landed at 8:30, and was extremely relieved when the good folks at @grandhyattsing managed to get me into my room early. (It helps to be a @hyatt member.)

Shower, then straight to Ya Kun for kaya toast and poached eggs. A little poolside reading, curry puff at Chang Kee and fresh coconut juice for lunch, then lobster cheong fun, BYOB wine and sake at Yang Ming Seafood with my old buddy @jennytanwrites.

Perfect start to a week in Singapore.

Pro tip: if your room isn’t ready, ask whether you can still use the pool, sauna or relaxation rooms. Makes a huge difference!

This week, I felt like I had been plunged back into darkness. I had tasted freedom. I had tasted peace. And yet I found myself being dragged back against my will and scared for my baby.

I found myself wresting with God, asking Him where is the justice in all of this? When will I be free?

I was so completely fatigued and in a weird spaced out state after that this year I didn’t have any energy to plan anything. And yet I found myself surrounded by loving and supportive friends who celebrated for me.

And this cake that @hadassahlau chanced upon at Tampines hub (not our hood). A lone single slice cake that had a blue butterfly - it didn’t match the matcha green at all. But when she saw it, she knew this was for me. It was odd that it also had a happy birthday sign - unusual for a single slice cake. The same blue butterfly I saw when I got baptised. Matcha meant it was just for me because the kids can’t have green tea. A reminder from my Heavenly Father that this cake is just for me, He was thinking of me. Who am I that He would think of me?

There is a portion just for me. Metamorphosis and freedom.

A plumbing line, Elisha and his servant, tetris, electric fly swatter.
Rain came, wind blew. But my house is built on You.

And thank you to my friends and family that made today so special 💕

🇫🇷🍾🫧Sippin’ my way through Côte des Sézanne~
.
… without leavin’ the tub! 🛀🫧🥂
(🎞️Swipe for our first ever disgorgement ceremony!)
.
💋🍄🍾🫧Save the best for the last, for the Autolyse was def my fave sip here - Aged like fine gold w a min. of 10y in the cellar before more ageing.
I knew I’d love this from its aromatic ‘funk’ of mushrooms, soy sauce, toasted nuts kinda savoury & umami. It tasted complex, deep, kinda creamy, earthy, nutty w hints of spices. OOOOOMPH~
.
💪🏼🍾🫧@damienchampy demo-ed the manual disgorgement, K took on the action. P.s. guess who got the very first pour from this bottle - straight outta the bottle!
.
🍾🥂🫧Ft. Champagne Le Brun de Neuville Masterclass w Damien Champy & Agathe Bellanger;
🍾💫NV Côte Blanche Blanc de Blancs Brut - A pure expression of the region’s iconic Chardonnay. An enjoyable apéritive w its sip so generous & suiting of every moment - Tropical-ish, citrusy, light & refreshing.
.
🌹🍾NV Côte Rosée Brut;
This sip was intriguing - bit spicy in its fruity, tart supple raspberries, intensely bright, clean w a linger of salinity.
.
💋🍾🫧NV Le Chemin Empreinté Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut;
Another fave sip - this was disgorged manually. It has less oxidation, w a slight acidity & more emphasis on its creamy, buttery mouthfeel & minerals.
.
🍾🫧NV La Croisée des Chemins Blanc de Noirs & Blancs
.
EDITIONS LIMITÉES - exclusive sneak sip!
💋🍾🫧NV Le Chant des Fûts Blanc de Blancs;
Disgorged on 29.10.2024 - an incredibly rare opportunity to taste it w only a limited release of 2,514 bottles globally.
Slow fermentation in barrels w natural yeast, this sip had that bit of funky cheese, toasted brioche aroma. Vibrant & full w lots of sunshine, tropical fruits, sourdough, creamy, buttery w nice minerals & a dry finish.

🇸🇬 Sake Festival 2026

Glad I took some time to head down to Suntec for a quick session at the 2026 Sake Festival! 🍶

It was as crowded as ever, but what really amazed me was how much bigger the crowd seemed this year, which i noticed more tourists and international visitors joining in the fun too!

Since I missed out on the preview session, I had been eyeing the Daiginjo by Kamotsuru Shuzo, and I'm glad I finally got to try it! 🍶 The flavor was rich yet fruity, with a smooth, rounded finish that stood out from the usual dry-style sake that many people are familiar with.

Sadly, I was so busy making my way around the various sake booths that I didn't get the chance to grab the oden that everyone was talking about. 😭 But I definitely made up for it by picking up some extra sake knowledge through the workshops happening throughout the event.

A day well spent discovering new labels, learning more about the craft and of course, enjoying plenty of sake along the way while chatting with new and old friends! Already looking forward to what next year's festival has in store!

Kanpai and see ya at the next one~~ 😉

🌧️🍶💦What’s pourin’~
.
… at Sake Fest this year?! We got a sneak taste of some of the 600 premium sakes (Yes! SIX HUNDRED) from over 40 distilleries & brewers in celebration of ‘The Masters’ Return’.
.
🐦🍶One of my faves had to be this cloudy refreshing Niwano Uguisu Usungori ginjo sip - juicy, light, velvety w a crisp mouthfeel & oh so aromatic… & that surprise bit of fizz that added this liveliness to the sip!
.
💪🏼🍶Macho? was quite the playful sip w a ‘?’ in its name as the brewery refuses to reveal the rice they’re using. This junmai sake is as its name suggests - bold, heavy, full-bodied & kinda umami. Clean, crisp dry w a kick of zest.
.
🍺🥛🌅Even got to taste every sip of Suntory The Premium Malt’s 7 serves incl. Mliko (creamy velvety pint of dense Kamiawa foam almost like a dessert beer)
.

This edition offers an immersive experience with over 40 sake brewers from Japan, including Dassai Inc., Hakurakusei, Yukinobosha, and Shimeharitsuru by Miyao Brewery. Attendees can explore more than 600 sakes and spirits, showcasing Japan’s rich brewing heritage. Notably, Hakurakusei from Niizawa Brewery is known for shokuchushu, meal-time sakes favored by Michelin-starred restaurants. Shimeharitsuru, using pristine underground water from the Asahi mountains, continues to impress with its balanced flavors.

Highlights include sake stories like Azuma Rikishi’s CAVE UROKO 5, a cave-aged blend with deep umami, and Yamakawa Mitsuo 2026 by Yamagata Masamune, a modern junmai sake.

Spanning 5,000 square feet in the heart of Singapore, The Peranakan Club (TPC) is more than a restaurant—it is a soul-stirring journey through the lived experience of Peranakan culture. Forget your Nordic minimalism, this locale is a visual feast for all the senses: colourful, tactile and aromatic. I also like that, despite its massive space and strategic layout, one of the first sights you encounter is… the bar.

Six Concepts, One Soul
• Curated by renowned Baba Raymond Khoo, the space is a visual feast of peony motifs, kerosangs (brooches), and rare antiques. Explore six distinct zones:
~ Kerosang Tea Room: Indulge in Champagne and caviar amidst antique rosewood.
~ The Little Nyonya: Authentic family-style recipes including the signature Itek Tim elevated with XO brandy.
~ Grand Peranakan: An exclusive enclave for tok panjang heirloom feasts.
~ The Peranakan Gallery: A curated "living museum" of wedding costumes and artefacts.
~ Baba Nyonya Atelier: Meticulously crafted kebayas and heritage lifestyle wares.

~ And of course, the Kebaya Bar: Sip on Peranakan-inspired cocktails like the Buah Keluak Kopi-O-Tini or Bak Kwa Pisang Flip. The drinks are made with local ingredients, and they’ve got just the right touch of flavour without being too coy. I like the Calamansi Gimlet with Brass Lion Dry Gin, Hawthorn Club (reimagined from the classic Clover Club), and the aromatic Kueh Salat, a silky tribute to the Nyonya Cake.

The Peranakan Club. 1 Claymore Drive, #02-01 Orchard Towers 🕙 11 am – 10 pm daily Reservations: +65 8988 0202

One year since dad was called home to be with the God he served all his life ☁️
Mom gathered us, and some of his closest, some knew him from age 17-70 (which I always thought was cool)
Was sent home in daddy’s car (that a family friend bought over) taking the same seat I always took, so familiar yet so different.
The week it happened, I felt it was too sudden, could barely believe it, but the following week I lost my voice completely so I could not lament, and remember support 🩶 and a peace that surpassed all understanding (Philippians 4:7)

Felt like I wanted to etch 1% of his memory and impact here on my socials… and for myself, as a reminder for when I feel like lamenting about life.
