Olympic LOVE: Part 2

SIMON AMMANN, why are you so awesome. :’) He’s definitely my favorite athlete of the Games. Why? Because this mf sweeped both ski jumping events with the gold, and now he has the record number of medals for any ski jumper. He did the same exact thing in Salt Lake, and I’m so glad that he’s [...]

Olympic LOVE: Part 1

It’s little surprise that I love the Olympics. I still have the fondest memories of being in Beijing during 2008 and watching the Summer Games live. When I visited Sydney, I had to visit the Olympic Park. The games are just so inspiring; it’s great to see all these stories of comebacks and underdogs and [...]

A Case of the Nomnoms

I must say, my absolute favorite thing about Singapore has to be the food; there’s a ton of variety (Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, American for starters) to be had and the prices are totally worth it. Case in point: the duck rice (and soup, gratis!) below. Grand total? $3 SGD, which translates to [...]

Food Comatose!

Sometimes happiness is going on a Ferris wheel ride, walking along the quay side, eating my way to a food coma, window-shopping, and taking photos of all of the above. And so describes my first 12 hours in Singapore. Warm weather (compared to the usual slosh in NY) and so much good food to pick? I’m [...]

Where in the World Is Cindy Pepper?

Has it really been 10 months since I last blogged? Oy. To make up for lost time, I present to you 2009 in picture form! (click the images to enlarge) I went to London mid-March with my friend, where we ate lots of scones, Pret sandwiches, and Wagamama noodles. Since I had never been to the UK, [...]

London Calling!

I do believe that I'm due for an update. :) So, let's talk about London. Lovely, lovely city -- I was there on the week of March 15th. It was spring recess, I had never been there before, so I put 2 and 2 together. I went to the tourist-y places, the museums, the shops, etc.

Reincarnated!

It appears that my site got a brand spanking new makeover! At the risk of sounding like an infomercial (Buy this 5-in-1 product and get 4 NEW products free of charge! Wow! That’s like getting 9 products for this SUPER LOW PRICE!!!), I’ll list some of the major changes to this site: New layout: I [...]

xxxvi: year of the ox!

Thanks everybody for the wonderful birthday wishes! Here’s a picture of the cake I got; it took forever to finish it! For four days straight, I was eating cake for breakfast and snack. And I had my friends help me out. om nom :3 Since I have had a busy week since returning [...]

xxxv: not an unbirthday

Happy birthday to me. Twenty is strange and not very definitive.1 I might be the same awkward and tired person, but any reason to celebrate is still a reason! I ordered a pistachio cake with lots of sprinkles and decons. And maybe I’ll treat myself with a shopping trip. What do you guys like to do [...]

xxxiv: you better run, you better take cover (part ii)

I am finally Stateside! Getting here was absolutely ridiculous: my flight got delayed for nearly four hours, I barely made my connecting flight, the lavatories were terrible1, and my luggage got delayed. I finally got my suitcases delivered around 1am last night. Now that I’m (somewhat) settled in my dorm, I’m going to post the [...]
