I was innocent.  At least I think I was.  Apparently, in this dream, I was a girl.
It is a bright and sunny day.  I met this guy the other day and this new friend of mine referred me to this job opportunity.  It is not hard to find the office.  A wide open reception area [...]

Let’s recap what goes on in July so far.  My band’s first female guest drummer, sister’s boyfriend proposed, 2nd book review at the McGraw-Hill’s website, nomination at Ping.sg, and – hold your breath – my nephew was born last evening and he has the same birthday as me!  Now, how cool is that?  Last night, [...]

Thanks for all your warm wishes!  It is the thought that counts.  So, text messages are same-same to me.
I have two traditions when it comes to my birthday.  One, it will be a holiday.  Look, if we have holidays to celebrate the birth of the kings and queens and anniversary of what not, why should [...]

What an eventful week.  Just when I thought I could sit back and relax because I have written a whole week worth of blog entries, my best buddy in Singapore popped the question … to my little sister.  So time to dig up one of the old photos that my pa has recently digitalized and start [...]

In my upcoming video blog, I talk about one memorable childhood moment I had with my dad.  I thought I only had one.  But I was wrong.  There are more.
We bred butterflies, inside a glass container.  A [...]

I don’t want to sound too much like a rip off from Haruki Murakami’s short story “Chance Traveler” but I too have my share of coincidental encounters to share.  Totally random of course but interestingly, these coincidences happened in the span of three consecutive days.  And outside this three-day window, puff, my days have become [...]

Ideas are peculiar little tangibly intangibles.  They are not as abstract as dreams like you want to marry a perfect guy (or girl) when you grow up or that Lamborghini you must have; wanting to be a rock star or to save the world.  Ideas on the other hand are more tangible than that.  It could be as simple [...]

“Have you eaten?”
That’s how the cleaning lady in my office and I often start our conversation.  It’s not “How are you” but “Have you eaten”.  As though in the eyes of the older (Chinese?) generation, if one is well-fed, one is “I’m fine, thank you”.  Strange, isn’t?  This late morning, we got further.  Leveraging on my [...]

Our enemy has driven us from the surface and many of us hide underneath the ground.  Soon we build home and community underground.  We don’t drive like our ancestors once did on the surface of Earth.  Some of us ride on a robot that is five times our size.  That is how we travel. At [...]
