I love McDonald’s. Every time I travel overseas, die-die I must visit the Golden Arches. And whenever a new burger gets introduced here, I cancel all my plans to go and try it. McDonald’s Singapore has just dropped the new Smoky Chilli Mayo McSpicy, so I rushed down faster than you can say “upsized fries”. Tbh, I am not the biggest McSpicy fan – I haven’t even ordered one this year.

As Singapore celebrates its 60th birthday this year, we've been reflecting on how much we’ve gained from calling this island home, from late-night suppers at the prata shop to world-class public transportation and a sense of safety we sometimes take for granted.

“Courtesy is for free~! Courtesy is for you and me~! 🎶” If you, like me, still remember that jingle clear as day, congratulations – you’re officially part of the “boomer” vintage (don’t worry, we say it with love 😅). It was on this very day 43 years ago (14 May 1982), that we were introduced to Singa the Courtesy Lion, who reminded us that being courteous wasn’t just about saying “please” and “thank you”. It was about being kind, gracious, and thoughtful in everyday life.

New Zealand has always been on my bucket list - specifically, the South Island, for its lakeside views, mountain peaks, and rich wildlife. As someone who loves the tranquility of nature, the South Island is like heaven on earth. As a type-A traveller, I took pride in mapping out my near-two week holiday with my mum and husband in tow. True to my style, I created a Google Sheet so detailed it could rival the planning for NDP (LOL).

Bak chang season is upon us – it falls on 31 May this year – and if you’re in the old-is-gold camp, you’ll want to eschew new-fangled flavours for the reliable classics. Pork, mushrooms, chestnuts, and maybe some abalone thrown in for auspicious measure are all we need in a good bak zhang. If you agree, here’s where you can get traditional zhang that’ll sate those annual cravings.

93 years ago today (2 May 1932), Tanjong Pagar Railway Station was officially unveiled to the public. A grand and architecturally striking terminal along Keppel Road, the station became the southern gateway connecting Singapore to the rest of West Malaysia. From its stately Art Deco façade to its role as a Malaysian checkpoint on Singapore soil, this building has seen nearly a century of history.

Every so often, Singapore pops up on the global stage. These moments remind us that our Little Red Dot isn’t just a blip on the map, but a force to be reckoned with. Whether it’s flying the flag in unexpected arenas, helping other nations in need, or breaking new ground, Singapore continues to punch above its weight.
