A stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore is a one of a kind experience. By all means book a guestroom facing the Marina Bay on the highest floor possible. The uplifting view is well worth the price of admission and will literally leave you feeling high for days. Of course, there are other things to rave about, such as the five-star amenities, the luxurious guestrooms, the consistently excellent service rendered […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/ritz-carlton-singapore/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/travel/park-hotel-clarke-quay/ https://sparklette.net/travel/park-hotel-clarke-quay/#respond Fri, 16 May 2014 19:30:30 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1557

Thanks to blogging, I have had the chance to staycate in several hotels and resorts in Singapore and around the region, many with excellent rooms and service. But it is only during a recent staycation at Park Hotel Clarke Quay that I experienced hospitality so warm and passionate, it actually touches the heart. The 10-storey hotel has 336 rooms and suites housed in a building whose exterior evokes the old-world […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/park-hotel-clarke-quay/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/travel/rendezvous-hotel-singapore/ https://sparklette.net/travel/rendezvous-hotel-singapore/#respond Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:22:15 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1548

A hotel with artistic flair, the Rendezvous Hotel is fittingly located in the arts and cultural district along Bras Basah, surrounded by museums, art schools […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/rendezvous-hotel-singapore/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/contest/chinese-new-year-cupcakes-giveaway/ https://sparklette.net/contest/chinese-new-year-cupcakes-giveaway/#respond Wed, 15 Jan 2014 07:20:17 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1545

Update: This contest has ended. The winners are @KathyWoon, @Elaine4059, @FionanaC, @ryannkoh and @VeralynnTan. My favourite cake maker Emicakes has done it again. The bakery chain has whipped up a series of super adorable cupcakes for Chinese New Year 2014, and methinks these are their best works yet!

As first-time parents, we sometimes get incredibly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of baby products available for purchase, along with the many choices that each item presents. One product that has turned out to be a real lifesaver is the baby rocker. Shortly after baby Ethan was born, the good people at Fisher-Price sent us the Newborn-to-Toddler Portable Rocker from their new Rainforest Friends range. Ever since then, this is […]]]> https://sparklette.net/kids/fisher-price-rocker/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/travel/m-hotel-singapore/ https://sparklette.net/travel/m-hotel-singapore/#comments Wed, 09 Oct 2013 08:24:38 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1519

Ever since baby Ethan was born… Actually, even before baby Ethan was born, hubby and I have been actively looking out for safe toys that can keep a young baby happy and occupied. Hubby will be on Amazon for hours each night browsing the baby department and reading user reviews. The toys from the Lamaze Play and Grow range, which features colourful plush animals that are suitable for babies from […]]]> https://sparklette.net/kids/lamaze-toy-sir-prance-lot/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/kids/smoulder-baby-full-month-cakes/ https://sparklette.net/kids/smoulder-baby-full-month-cakes/#comments Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:13:57 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1515

A baby’s full month is considered a milestone and definitely a joyous event worth celebrating. For my baby Ethan’s one-month celebration, Smoulder’s lava cakes provided a touch of uniqueness over the traditional butter cakes. Plus, if you’ve been reading this blog long enough, you’ll know that my all-time favourite dessert is none other than the chocolate lava cake! Having these mark my boy’s first month of life is just plain […]]]> https://sparklette.net/kids/smoulder-baby-full-month-cakes/feed/ 4 https://sparklette.net/kids/baby-ethan/ https://sparklette.net/kids/baby-ethan/#comments Tue, 10 Sep 2013 07:40:41 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1511

After nine months of construction, my little project is complete. It’s now officially been over a month since Baby Ethan was born so I figured it’s about time that I get to blog about him. My pregnancy went relatively smoothly. At 40 weeks, the little guy still wasn’t showing signs of coming out. As my expected date of delivery (EDD) came and went, we were scheduled for an induction and […]]]> https://sparklette.net/kids/baby-ethan/feed/ 4
