Small things with great love.

It’s been about three and a half years since I graduated from University and I have to admit - it wasn’t exactly easy when I first entered the working world.
Due to my lack of experience and proper skill sets for the jobs I had applied for, I had difficulty in finding a company that was the right fit.
Thankfully, I managed to emerge from these storms and eventually found a safe and nurturing space in Mothership, a company I now regard as kin (truly mean it and not just saying this because my boss might be reading).
tikoy, siopao, mami, lumpia – what a long way it has come!
How it has leveled up from no-frills, no-fuss in noisy, messy Ongpin to the glamorous heights of five-star cuisine fit for an emperor and his favorite concubine.
Just as an example, this is what Conrad Hotel’s China Blue by Jereme Leung has done to “tikoy,” the sticky, gummy sweet that friends are obliged to give one another to represent bonding and fidelity during the Chinese New Year: Tikoy now comes in different flavors, starting with the traditional brown sugar; a modernized orange and red date with ginger; as it comes in the customary circular form, or shaped like koi fish, or mini gold bars. All to signify good fortune and accomplishment, i.e., good beginnings result in good endings.

Singapore Airlines announced a resumption of its service to several U.S. gateways including New York-JFK, Los Angeles (LAX) and San Francisco (SFO) starting 18 January 2021.
This news is not just a hopeful sign of an eventual rebound in international travel, but it also reminded me of one of my favourite cities on earth and what is probably my favourite hotel experiences to-date at the newly renovated Raffles Singapore.
