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 [...]

Check out the McGraw-Hill website!  Tons of people to thank (yes, you loyal readers too!) especially the one who trusted me with the opportunity and those who are so enthusiastically supportive during this rather long but excitingly hush-hush journey.  You know who you are!

Before I tell the story of how the reading from the milometer of my car helped me to decide which job offer to take, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my friends, family, and the avid readers of my site for keeping me going throughout this seven months long “sabbatical leave”. I [...]

Thank you for all the birthday text messages, even for that “Happy Birthday Old Man” message. Honestly speaking, I am not that old! Above is some of the pictures I have taken for my unplanned celebration. Just click to enlarge and mouse over for caption. Caption from left to right, top to bottom: (1) My [...]

When it comes to other people’s birthday celebration (actually including mine), I am usually the non-creative-go-with-the-flow type. Since there is a limit as in how much I can blog about other people’s lives, let’s skip what happened this morning and afternoon and go straight to dinner.
Each year I let Cynthia choose where to dine. Some [...]
