When my dad retired 6 years ago, my sister Lora bought him a dog. I don’t get to see him often here in Hong Kong, neither do I keep one in Singapore. The things that my dog does never cease to surprise me. He is able to fetch slippers for each individual family members when [...]

Now that our holiday trip in Hong Kong is coming to an end, I can’t help but to ponder what I miss about Singapore and will miss about Hong Kong most.
Hong Kong has a certain charm. After all, it is my birth town and my parents are pretty much rooted here. I would like to [...]

Part 1 - Doctor
In this war torn city of my homeland, I was leading a rescue team to search for someone dear to my heart.

It seems to me that my birth-town is never short of drama.  While Cynthia and I was making our way out of the airport, somewhere on the other side of the immigration area, an attempted theft took place rather dramatically as accounted by my mother. Gossip works wonder when stories from different eye witnesses miraculously [...]

The new Nokia N95 8GB, in my humble opinion, is a true beauty. I will tell you why in just a bit. I did not anticipate a phone upgrade. My last phone was a N80 just 1.5 years ago. Since SingTel was kind enough to extend the expiry date of my S$120 voucher for another [...]

Today (21st) was TK’s birthday so I gratefully let him choose what he wished to watch. “Can you choose for me? I have a Christmas party to attend,” said TK over MSN. I looked at the list of movies available and we have almost covered all of them. “Erm …,” I replied, “We can have [...]
