Ola Beach Club

Posted on Sunday, April 2, 2017

Popped down to the media preview of Ola Beach Club with Sujin (❤) and I think it was one of the best events I've attended in a while in terms of organisation and programme (which is saying a lot because I do think I attend quite a few). Also it was funny, but it's my first time seeing kids at an event. Like, actual children. But I guess that kind of put into perspective what kind of beach club it is - family friendly!




Ola Beach Club offers a variety of water sports activities like banana boating, paddle boarding and those water-propelled jetpack things (a first in Singapore!) which they had a demonstration to with extra campy music which was kind of fun cause they did backflips and stuff - something I watch and appreciate but would never do myself, haha.

Next up they had an actual Hawaiian Luau performance, as the entire theme of the club is Hawaiian-themed ("Ola" means "life" in Hawaiian!) I don't know much about the Hawaiian culture other than Poke bowls and the twisted tourist version of Hawaii they always show on those US television shows, so it was really eye opening to see this performance. I loved the chanting, the dancing and the outfits, how their grass skirts were peeping out from their red dresses, and how it was so haunting and soulful. So gorgeous - I literally felt like I was actually in Hawaii. Wow. 

The club and set up itself was lovely, I can imagine someone having a beach wedding here with the long white tables, dreamy fairy lights and cool ocean breeze. Sadly the rain started to come in so we couldn't have our dinner outside, but I was super impressed how they had already quietly and quickly moved everything to the second floor of the club which is indoors before the rain even started. Dinner itself was Hawaiian themed fare - their prawns were exceptional, and Sujin and I also helped ourselves to some complementary Hawaiian cocktails as well. The cocktails in the club have cute names like the Uliuli Tiki which means "dark colour" and the Melemele Tiki.

Going to Hawaii has always been on my list, but after this experience I think it's risen quite a few spots. Or having a beach wedding. Or something. It really was an inspiring and chill day!

Summer 2016

Posted on Sunday, September 11, 2016



I'm not sure at what age do you get when you can't hang around the beach in tiny swimsuits anymore, but I know I'm definitely not there yet, so we skedaddled down to Tanjong Beach Club as Trish's treat for me turning 25 (whoo thanks)! Hid from the sun, sipped fresh coconuts, took a few too many beach selfies and tickled ourselves with comments from Sujin like "resting my coconut on my coconuts, guys" (this girl did not bring a bikini, by the way). It felt like we were catching the last bits of Summer, especially since Trish is leaving for London next week full time but I know, I know we live in the tropics and it's basically Summer all year round... but really, Summer is a state of mind guys.

Anyway, it started pouring on our way down to TBC, but you wouldn't know from the pictures because the moment we reached the rain stopped and the sun came out. Guess things work out how they are meant to be, and even if it didn't, we chill AF!


So long Summer!

Cool for the Summer

I get unreasonably excited whenever it comes around to this time of the year ("Summer"), even though I already live in a tropical country + my bikini body has never been anywhere near ready - but HU CARES. This is my pale and pasty idea of the season - can't wait for beach date with the girls and more reasons to head out of the house!

Balmy Beach Days

Posted on Thursday, January 3, 2013



It's been 3 weeks in Europe so far, and just 1 more week to go before I return to our sunny island. Travelling during the winter does take a lot out of you, though I do love every second of this trip. I do sometimes miss the unbearable groggy heat of Singapore, especially when I step out of the apartment here in Europe and am hit by a blast of chilly wind. Right before I left for my long holiday, I met Jess -she needed a tan, I love the concept of lounging by the beach, so we ended up at Coastes, at Sentosa's Siloso Beach. Beach chair rental is at $20 for as long as you want, there was complimentary ice lemon tea drinks, and the area of the beach that we were on was sort of "private" and cut off from the rest of main beach. Oh, and the weather was close to perfect. Bright sun, but cool and breezy. We couldn't have asked for more of Mother Nature!
