I should have known that my girlfriend would leave me one day (who?!). And she has, leaving me with an empty apartment in this University campus. I open the door and the apartment looks grim. There is a note on the wall saying: keep those paintings of yours and the curtains too. I take down [...]

Camera : Nikon D700 Lens : AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED Exposure : M mode, 1/1000 second, f/4 Sensitivity : ISO 200 I have been holding back on writing the crazy drama and frustration I faced at work questioning why some people have this lens that see the perspectives in life that is so different from mine. But [...]

A Series of Interviews – Of Blogging and Journalism (So I Have a Digital Badge)
December 11th, 2008 8 Comments
I don’t know which is more mentally challenging, the competition or the interviews thereafter. Fortunately, my mind was very much heightened with the essence of at least two chickens I took in the morning. One reporter pulled me outside for an interview. Well, I had no clue that when she asked me the first question, [...]

Photo Shooting at Singapore Night Safari – No Flash, Hand Held, Total Madness
December 9th, 2008 27 Comments
Knowing that I will visit Taman Safari Indonesia next week, I managed to purchase the perpetually sold out Nikon zoom lens and wanted to give it some practice at our Singapore Zoo or Bird Park during the long weekend. I stared at the sky everyday and willed the rain to go away, without success. So [...]

Lingerie Shopping Spree at Brüttal, Bangsar Village 2 (Malaysia)
December 7th, 2008 36 Comments
After I have posted my rather unsightly photos taken inside my friend Adeline’s lingerie shop October this year, here are my responses to some of the commonly raised comments. Yes, that 10% discount on the brutally chic n sexy lingerie by merely saying the passwords of either my name or “that Singapore blogger” is true. [...]

December 5th, 2008 6 Comments
Orhhh … Look at this dreamy picture of that one true beauty, don’t you want to … take one home? I love listening to podcast on the Nokia Nseries.

December 4th, 2008 27 Comments
In the morning of the blogger challenge I woke up feeling fresh, popped one bottle of BRANDS, opened up the training kits provided, and started looking at the exercises while I was ironing my shirt. Sheylara has worked through all these exercises and more for the past 2 weeks. I flipped through the sheets of [...]

YUI – My Short Stories – Did You Know This is a B-Side Compilation?
December 2nd, 2008 7 Comments
No I didn’t. Nor the Oricon chart cares. 21 years old Japanese singer songwriter and one-time actress releases a b-side album and it charted at #1. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her 4th album “My Short Stories” at HMV. Wasn’t it this April when she released her last studio album? I am still [...]
