Ushering in Spooky October~

Sunday, November 18, 2018


October is here as we herald the last quarter of the year. Before you know it 2018 is coming to an end. What lies in store for the lucky number 8 for the last quartet of the year? For me, October means Halloween month, and that's always something to look for in the calendar for me.

September Shenanigans

Saturday, October 06, 2018


September is the month tending to Set (Seth), the Egyptian God of the Desert, Darkness and Chaos. As a novice in the ways of the World, this month has been a trying month for me. Nevertheless, we move onward into October. What does the last quarter of the year hold for me? We shall see~

Lucky Number 7

Saturday, August 18, 2018



Apologies on the lateness of this post to the 10 of you that visit my blog (haha)! Been dealing with some issues for the past few weeks that perhaps I would share in another post. But for the month of July, this is what I have been up to.

Mayday Mayday!

May was a pretty tame month for me. Went to the ballet for the first time, and then HKG for a business trip. Also attended my first ever private movie screening!

Four makes April

Tuesday, May 08, 2018


Before we realised it, April has descended upon us. It's now Q2 of the year 2018. Little less than 7 months to go at the time of writing this! So what shenanigans has Sasha Bear been up to this month? Step inside for a look!

Birthday Month!

Sunday, April 01, 2018


March is my birthday month and also the end of Q1 2018. Had a blast as I decided to host a last minute party for my quarter century plus some birthday. Due to timing issues I had to hold it on the 2nd, which is 1 day before my actual birthday. Thank goodness I had some help and Marc decided to co-host the party with me! What ensued was a really nice evening of meeting friends new and old.

Jamming it up in January 2018

Saturday, February 10, 2018




With the blink of the eye, January has passed us by. The sub-25 degree temperature was a departure from the scorching heat of Singaporean summers, and us residents of the Little Red Dot were lulled into a peaceful, warm and cuddy first month of the year. So cozy up as we dive into the going ons of January!

2017 60 Things Recap and 2018 Resolutions

Sunday, January 07, 2018

It's the end of the first week of 2018, and I thought I'd do a 2017 recap and a 2018 resolutions sort of post. It'll be fun to look back on the year and also to plan ahead (although the post will be skewed toward to former). So buckle up your seats and prepare a snack (I personally am snacking on kimchi while writing this), while we bring you to a blast to the past!

And 2017 ends in December

Tuesday, January 02, 2018


Starting off with a notice - I'm trying to update my blog at a fixed time every month, which will be from the 1st to 3rd, so keep a look out for that!

End November to early December contained a wealth of surprises, among which was that my long lost cousin from Shanghai, Kimberley or Zhang Jin which she is known, came to Singapore for a three week long holiday, mostly as a sabbatical and also to work on her novel/writing.

November November November~

Tuesday, December 12, 2017


November was amazing, what with our staycation at Orchid Country Club and a variety of activities. Pictured here is our annual and twice annual Fragile Hearts gathering at Sum Kee. The Ultraman chicken and dishes are always amazing, and we got to taste a new creation of Nic's mom, Iceberg Sweet and Sour Pork.

October Mayhem!

Sunday, November 12, 2017


October was Halloween weekend and a whole bunch of other activities here in Sunny Singapore. There were Halloween parties to be at and food to be eaten. So here's a summary of my mega-October month! (Pictured here are Harlequin-Colette and Playboy Bunny-Chelsea, along with me, who's supposed to be a hippie!)

February and March (Birthday Month) - Food, Museums, Celebrations

Monday, June 26, 2017

So I haven't been really diligently blogging recently. I know my blog is basically just a semi-private diary so that I can keep track of places I've been and people I've met, so sometimes I get lazy to write. (So far, I've gotten 3,827 views since Feb 2016. So that's quite encouraging...) Anyway just I shall see if I can finish blogging about 4 months in 1 post, if not I shall write a part 2.

January Jimmies

Sunday, February 12, 2017


January was as usual jam packed with activities, starting off 2017 with a bang. Kicking off the month of January were many foodscapades and a concert to boot! Plus who can forget Lunar New Year at the end of January and the feasting and merrymaking!

December 2016

Saturday, January 21, 2017


So, December was a month of extended holiday and meetups with friends, and also making new years resolutions. I was just cruising around on autopilot - meeting friends and spending time with family. Plus who can forget that impromptu trip to Bali/Lembongan? December 2016 was definitely one of the highlights of the year, not just because I got to go overseas again, but because it was just so chock full of activity - places to go and people to see!

House party and Ultra

Monday, September 12, 2016


Hey ya! Just finished an Ultra tiring weekend at Ultra. Lol, see what I did there! Anyway Ultra Singapore was really really and I mean REALLY muddy. And crowded, the queues for food and drink barely moved for over 1 hour. But the music was, eh, OKAY i guess. Silly me for wearing Haviannas to a music festival with all that MUD but I guess that's a lesson learnt? YOU NEED HEAVY DUTY WELLINGTONS das what you need. So anyway starting off September with a house party:

Adventure to the Balkans Travelogue Pt. 1: Zagreb, Croatia

Hola at you readers! It's me, Sasha Bear here - and today we're FINALLY going to post about my trip to the Balkans circa Octo...

Quote I Love

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”

—Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living
