South Korea's famed organic soft served ice-cream has hit Singapore at last, joining in on our latest dessert craze with more that 12 different toppings to compliment their handmade creamery! A different but equally delicious experience each visit? Nice strategy there, Milkcow.

With it's first store conveniently settled at The Cathay, it's certain that Singaporeans will jump at the opportunity to give Milkcow's 100% natural and organic treat a try. You know what that means? Ridiculously long snaking queues! Ugh.



I don't like queueing, so you can imagine how happy (and lucky) I was to have been invited to their grand opening on the 6th of February 2015 along with my Food Thieves friends! (This post is so overdue! Yikes.)


All of us were practically spoilt for choices. All the toppings looked so appetising that I wanted to lump them all in one cup of ice cream! Rest assured, I maintained my composure.


I went with the traditional honey and honeycomb toppings for my first cup. I loved how the sweetness of the honey didn't overpower the milk. I got bored of the taste nearer to the bottom but nonetheless it was one of the better honey-drizzled ice creams I've had.




I don't usually like having nuts (they cause pimple breakouts?) but I was so glad that I tried the pistachio sauce! Topped together with the macaron, I liked this particular combination the best. The nutty flavour went really well with the milk and the macaron added the additional sweetness that makes deserts deserts. Yes, it was my third cup.

Many big heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to come down for my 23rd birthday gathering last week, especially since it was sandwiched between a heavy work/school week and Valentine's Day!

Romance is overrated. Relationships are overrated. Chocolates and wines are overrated. Roses and plushies are overrated. Making out is overrated. (Okay, maybe not the last.) There are so many awesome things to do when you're single and ready to mingle on Valentine's Day!

…Things you would do any other day, basically. Let's face the truth. No matter how hard people try to insist that Valentine's Day can be celebrated and enjoyed just as much by singles with their friends and family (or themselves), it sucks not to be coupled on this particular day. I'm not saying that there are no perks to that but they are completely overshadowed. It doesn't matter what you do, everything on Valentine's Day will scream "You sad lonely soul!"

I wanted to write about how you can have the best Valentine's Day as a gleeful and contented bachelor/bachelorette (maybe your attached but apart?) but that will just be utter bullshit. I'm going to help you with something more useful. (It'll work for people in dissatisfactory relationships too.)

How To Survive Valentine's Day:

1. Lock away all your mobile phones and computers. Those incessant status and photo updates from obnoxious coupled friends and family are not good for you. You won't be happy for them (don't fake it) and you'll just be reminded of how nobody wants you.

2. Chances are, you won't heed Tip 1. You are all masochists. So be it. Log on to Tinder and swipe through Tinder and laugh at the many profiles of single (or attached or open or just confused?) in your vicinity who are just as sad. No harm boosting your ego with matches too.

3. Leave stink bombs along park pavements and watch in amusement as unsuspecting couples come through for a romantic walk.

4. Send a black rose to everyone who has ever broken your heart. This option is only for people with extra cash. Don't make yourself even sadder by being broke.

4.2 Alternatively, you can leave shade-throwing RuPaul's Drag Race GIFs on their Facebook profile.

5. Order pizza. Pizza will always love you.

6. When the delivery person arrives, ask if he/she will be working late. If so, order more pizza so you two can spend more quality time together.

6.2 If not, offer the pizza to anyone (especially complete strangers) who will eat it off your body.

7. Make out with anyone! A Tinder match? Pizza person? Complete stranger? Take advantage of each other's vulnerability.

8. Post a selfie on Instagram and caption "It's just like any other day, guys. Single and lovin' it!" Everyone will admire you and like your post. Maybe someone will be able to see through your facade and direct message you for a date.

9. Bake macarons. Proceed to throw them away. The macarons are a metaphor for your melancholy.

10. Bring your parents out for a meal. (Although I think that they wouldn't want you disturbing their moment…)

11. Rally your friends out to party! Just please don't end up by the side of the road sobbing and whining about how you are going to die alone with a dozen cats.

12. Go catch the 50 Shades of Grey movie by yourself. Scan the cinema for fellow singles and offer your popcorn. Things will get heated during the movie. Offer your body.

13. Take a vacation. Get out of here! It can't be Valentine's Day everywhere, right?!

You can survive 24 hours. Know that you'll be loved and touched. Eventually.

I absolutely hate that this has to be my first post of the year but this incident really creeped the living daylights out of me and I have to do what I do best to help myself get over it—bitch!

I was walking back from my neighbourhood mall when I saw someone at the corner of my eye edging closer and closer to me. I turned to look out of curiosity and (to my disappointment, really...) it was a stubby middle-aged man ominously staring right at me. He had them crazy eyes (The kind that cartoons portray as hypnotic swirls?). I was about to turn away when he started to twitch his eyes and make clicking noises with his tongue (this guy is so weird!). It didn't bother me much as I assumed he was just craving attention from random passers-by and continued heading towards the pedestrian crossing. I wasn't going to give him the pleasure.

While waiting for the green man to flash, I heard what I never thought I'd be so frightened to hear—clicks. I looked back and saw the man behind, just inches away from me! I gave him an irritated look and tried to ignore his presence but his clicking noise did not fade even as I was crossing the road with a large crowd of people. I was flipping out, big time. All I could think of was how he wanted to bathe in my pool of blood! I ain't down with that. What did I ever do to him? I picked up my pace to try and lose him but I could still feel his disturbing aura tailing me all the way to my block (why is he so adamant?!). I made detours in hopes that he'll just get bored and go away but no, he actually ran after me! I entered the gate and quickly slammed it shut on his face! He actually attempted to get in! This man is crazy! He stood outside and continued with his eye twitching (it is so not cute, dude…) and tongue clicking. His stare was so uncomfortable that it gave me goosebumps. I hurried to the security guard on duty and informed him of the dubious intent of the man before looking back to give a cold stare. Not today, not ever, goodbye!

I have not a single clue to why I was even being tailed! Do I have gold nuggets hanging around my neck? Do I have a genie lamp in my bag? Do I have pizza wrapped around my body? Do I look like a supermodel from the pages of a magazine? No, right?! Now that I think of it, maybe all he wanted was to give me a million dollars (that I so very well deserve). In that case, hello there, strange but generous man. If you are reading this, please stop and email me for my bank account details.

To be honest, I don't know what came over me because Keefe would have just turned, confronted and, if all else failed, spat on his face. Perhaps it was because of the annoyingly eerie click noises that he was making… It sounded an awful like the crocodile from the Peter Pan movie! What was it even supposed to signify?


Anyways, as I am feeling very benevolent recently (I just donated S$2 to a group of girls selling handcrafted items for charity and did not take the souvenir!), I shall take time off my precious sleep to give some valuable tips to help aspiring (or existing and failing) stalkers out with their craft. I am not for it, but I strongly believe that the "stalkee" should have a pleasant experience during the stalking. Being a victim of a 10-minute stalking incident and having majored in Stalking Sciences back on planet Kayvan, I'd say that I'm qualified to share these tips.


Before all else, find a suitable target to stalk. What good is a stalker without a "stalkee"? Next, establish a motive. You have to have an idea of what you want from the process. Money? Food? Sex? Love? Revenge? Gratitude? (A fan photo?) All of the mentioned? Stalking someone without a (good enough) purpose is such a waste of time and you'd be better off watching 2 Broke Girls at home (so addicted to it currently!).


1. Look presentable.

Chances are, since you're in this specific line of career, you don't look presentable. (If you are, kudos to you! Your rate of success should be already passable, even if you are not very skilled at it.) It's something that you'll have to work on as it pretty much determines if you are going to get a coy "Oh my god, I think that person is stalking me…*chuckles*" or a panicky "Oh my god! I think that creep is stalking me! *breaks a cold sweat*" which basically means you accomplishing your goal or you behind bars (unless, well… that is your goal?). You have to make your "stalkee" feel flattered. Cosmetic surgery is a popular option, but I would suggest a trip to a nearby beauty parlor for starters. Your dressing play will a big part as well! How to dress? That leads us on to…


2. Be resourceful.

Nothing of your "stalkee's" is trash. Every sweet wrapper, every used tissue, every single slip of receipt that is tossed could be your key to success! (Notice that I only mentioned disposed items? Stealing is another craft altogether and I do not condone it.) That crumpled trash might jolly well give you knowledge of the one food/song/phrase that will pave the way to his/her heart. Also, their public social networking sites are like detailed dairies written especially for your viewing and learning pleasure. Make the most of it! Remember to support their need for attention by liking and commenting (no creepy stuff!) on their posts. Score points!


3. Get to know your "stalkee's" schedule.

As a stalker, you have to know where to be at and at what timing to be just ahead of their arrival. You need exact coordinates and seconds to boost efficiency. Time wasted waiting could be better used for other things, like your day job (I hope you have one because stalking doesn't pay well, at least not all the time…) and personal grooming. Do not ask for their schedules! Take the initiative (read above pointer), and source it out from public domains (read above pointer as well!).


4. Be articulate.

The thing about my stalker (why does it sound like a term of endearment? Geez…) was that he did not utter a single word! That, and the horrendous clicking noise he kept making made him scary. If you wanna succeed (in whatever you want to succeed in), speak clearly and friendlily. Do not give your "stalkee" any reason to think that you're a creep because then it will be game over for you. You will be black-listed and it isn't going to be easy redeeming yourself. If you are facing difficulty with speech, write poems and letters! Most people might dismiss them as cheesy tactics but (in my humble personal opinion) their hearts yearn for such a sweet gesture. Real life is sad and bitter.

I do have a few more pointers in mind but I'm not that benevolent to spare more of my sleeping time on this (unless I get paid!). I really do hope that stalkers will be more mindful of the people that they are stalking and try to make the experience a pleasant one for both parties. Okay, goodnight.
