    Come into my parlour

    Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/12/2017

    » Gone is the midnight-blue vortex of twinkly stars and mystical allure that personifies the Matina Amanita jewellery boutique at Central Embassy. In its place now sits the amped-up and edible world of Sretsis. Sretsis Parlour, which recently celebrated its grand opening last week, is the Sretsis sisters' latest brainchild, which serves fantasy on a plate: the taste of Sretsis is nothing short of Blossom Baby cakes, heart puffs and intricately printed fine bone china -- all to be nibbled in a place where, from floor to ceiling, not a single inch is unadorned or boring to look at.

    Kate Moss of the East

    » Central Embassy has worn many faces. Its positioning has shuffled around from ultra-luxury to hipster to a lifestyle hub, but one thing's for sure. When they've reeled in a world-class model like Kiko Mizuhara as the face of their ad campaign, there's no doubt that it strives to be a world-class destination.

    A touch of class

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/05/2017

    » We all have problems, but your super red arowana aquarium fish being too drowsy to entertain your house guests because it just returned from getting a facelift or being locked out of inheriting a 64 acre palatial estate in the heart of Singapore would surely only qualify as "rich people problems".

    To selfie or not to selfie?

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 03/07/2015

    » The photograph was fuzzy, but ironically, I clearly remember the moment of coming across it, and what was on it, as if it were just yesterday. It was a picture of a pale, blurry blob of a face, framed by jet-black hair tied in a low ponytail. On that face, lay an eager smile and two unfocused specks of flash in what appeared to be beady and squinty eyes. Two pale arms on the sides implied that the camera was already as stretched out as far as it could be. But all this happened a terribly long time ago, circa 1994, way before the ghastly concept of the selfie was born.

    Riding high in the simulated Wild West

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 05/12/2016

    » Looking all parts American perfection and stomaching spicy dishes surprisingly well (according to his bodyguard) for a first-timer in Singapore, James Marsden was in the Lion City last week to promote the season finale of HBO's Westworld. As the human equivalent of goodness and sunshine, it becomes apparent that the Hollywood dreamboat is fittingly well-known for his nice-guy roles (in X-Men, The Notebook, Enchanted, Hairspray) because he is also such a person in real life. In fact, it all feels satisfyingly in-character when the 43-year-old admits that he loves Frank Capra movies and that the violence in Westworld isn't gratuitous.

    The man on the moon

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 28/04/2017

    » The 60th-anniversary celebration of the Speedmaster featured plenty of stardust (I mean celebrities), but the event also saw the attendance of the space hero who wore Omega's rigorous test-racing watches to the Moon. Looking resplendent in a jazzy American-flag tie, with three Omega watches on his wrist and a highly unexpected number of rings for an 87-year-old, Buzz Aldrin is still a hoot when talking about his mission 48 years ago. With a laugh, the man insists he is living proof that the concept of selfies existed in his time too. After all, he first decided he wanted to take a photo of himself in space in 1966. It's only fitting that such a character inspired the name of Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear.

    New with the old

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 19/11/2015

    » As we step into the cooler months of the year, festivities and weddings begin full swing. As parties pack our social calendars, certain themes and requested dress codes have curiously still not quite disappeared yet. We bring you two brands that bring a modern and stylish edge to the redundant party themes of flapper and Frozen.

    Futuristic retail wonderland

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 09/06/2016

    » Our country's parks, museums and libraries are in a sorry state, but at least we get our malls right. Imagine if our malls were complete rubbish as well! At least the ones made by Siam Piwat aren't and their latest unveiling of Siam Discovery, 4 billion baht of renovations later, is a spectacular splash of cubic and futuristic interiors, with a wide, modern space that is quite unlike what other places offer. Literally a retail wonderland with a brightly-lit ambience that no longer skimps on the wattage, the dazzling, digital vibes this mall gives off now cements itself as a marvel to be gaped at by even the most sophisticated shoppers from around the world. It's only the fact that there isn't a toilet on every single floor that's keeping us from giving this new revamp full points.
