I’m Tiffany, age 28.5. Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Gemini, with a Pisces rising, which basically makes me this intense, talkative dreamer longing for the ecstatic union with the whole. Though born and bred in Singapore till the ripe old age of 24, I’m currently living in Sydney with William my significant other, and Bodhi (aka Loy-Doy), our toy, which stopped growing at 6 months.

What led me Downunder was a fascination for all things esoteric – available in abundance here. Unfortunately, I found out that the immigration department does not award student visas for esoteric studies, so somehow or other, I ended up doing Naturopathy. Which I am now glad to say I have fallen totally in love with as well. Herbs are yummy! And vitamins…, well vitamins are useful. After 3.5 years, I have finally completed my nat course on 6 July 2005.

A few days prior to that, I had visited William’s website, and even though I’ve been with the man 9 years now, I discovered a side of him not usually seen and heard in daily life. Unlike his usual, quiet reserved self, there emerged in his blogs this quirky, funny voice that I found refreshing and fascinating. Wow, I thought, he must feel very liberated to speak this way! I’ve got to give this a go myself.

When I told William about it, he said: “You write so well, you should have started blogging a long time ago.” I think what he means is “You so 叽喳, why don’t you blog and leave my ears in peace?!” Anyway, with all my newfound free-time, I started, and because I so kiasu, want this, want that, that one thing led to another and in the end, from just a simple blog, I wound up with this website of epic proportions!

Blogging aside:
- I love watching TV, esp.Taiwanese serials, Oprah and Desperate Housewives
- I try to meditate, try
- I adhere strictly to our Sunday yum-cha ritual　
- I skype with my parents for up to 2 hours every Sunday night.
The tables have surely turned.
10 years ago, I would be on the phone with a friend, howling with laughter,
and my 妈妈 would tell me to keep my voice down.
10 years later, I’m on the phone with my 妈妈, howling with laughter,
and William shoots me a dirty look.
(The neighbour downstairs has complained about my volume twice in 6 months.)
- I hang out with William at the same old same old shops in Chinatown
- I constantly try to battle the bulge, try
- I try not to squeeze my nose, try harder
- I dream of vacations in spa resorts
- I LOVE my friends *muak*
- I wonder if my brother has got a girlfriend, and if he’ll ever write
- I adore hand-made soaps
- I swear by MAC Select Tint SPF 15
- I miss my other babie: Bubble
who’s now living a life of pampered luxury at my parents’.
How pampered you ask? Let’s just say: human grade pork floss is a standard
- I thank 孙燕姿 and FM 933 for peppering these Aussie days
with some Singaporean flavour
- I secretly harbour sadistic pleasure for acupuncture
- I try to be grateful and see beauty everyday
- I wish I was more zen
- I chit-chat with the Divine
- I have more questions than answers. I'm learning as I go.
I want to relinquish fear, believe in essential goodness, and,
in the same breath, embrace life and take flight.

So welcome to my world and May our journey together be merry and light!
