Fast and Furious: The F1 Experience
Stuck inside the thick of the crowd at the Padang, beads of sweat drip down my back and hair. I could’ve been cooling off at the stands or leaning close to the balcony with a drink in hand at the rooftop at the National Gallery or any other fancy venue that hosts F1 viewing parties…

Supermodel Me: My First Modeling Gig with OliveAnkara
Growing up, I used to think I was too short to model. Despite being a 5’3″ girl, I meet the criteria for my dress size and petite frame. However, I am neither Eurasian nor tall with small boobs as it’s the main preference at traditional modeling agencies. Since there was no room for me to…

F1: Fully Loaded
A rite of passage for Singaporean teens, going to F1 is the closest thing one can get to Coachella thanks to its impressive lineup. Although their races hit the headlines, I only went there for the concerts since I was 16. I wouldn’t say I’m a regular, but it’s just one of those things I…

Hungry Go Where Pt. 1: Singapore
Home sweet home, baby. For the past 25 years, Singapore has always been home for me. Throughout the years I was in and out of town, the city’s gone through multiple face lifts.

It’s Me, Hi
Sorry for not posting in ages. I have to admit that since starting this blog 6 years ago, I have been shifting my focus on writing freelance for magazines (Her World, TIMID, Vice and ELLE Singapore), content creation (on IG and TikTok) as well as my business, Soeng Signature. Not only does it take a…

Thirteen-year-old me grabbed a pair of scissors and hacked a pair of shorts that were way too ugly. My mom feared the moment I cut across layers of denim. Though I was no pro, I acted like one. Countless sewing lessons later, I still am learning how to do it like a tailor. Through the…

Revolve Picks: Lunar New Year Outfit Ideas
Happy New Year! I have to admit the start of the month was kinda bumpy, but a lil miracle dropped into my inbox by the grace of God: an e-mail asking me to be a brand ambassador for Revolve! As a Revolve fan and customer, I’ve shopped with them for years. Their service was something…

I Did A Self-Care Marathon And It was Worth It
Dating your skincare is equivalent to running laps on the tracks or swimming laps across the pool. Trying out product after product is like going on a date every few days. Just like finding a partner, your skin also has standards, too. Sensitive, yet oily, my skin has mainly been a blessing save for a…

27 Things I learned at 27
Twenty-seven is a scary number. It’s that awkward stage when you’re not yet 30, but you’re still hanging on to the youth of your early 20s. It’s also that age when you’re trying to get yourself together. You either sink or swim. While most of us dream of living life, there are sadly, a handful…

20 Things I learned in 2020
A year of vision and experience, there is no other year like 2020. Albeit it was shitty for most of us, it was a year of upheaval whether it was personal, mental, spiritual, etc. Not only did we physically have to contain ourselves inside four walls, we also felt the pandemic blues. Traveling, haircuts, trips…
