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, [...]

Me No Shy About Me Birthday
July 10th, 2008 · 16 Comments · Memorable Events - good or bad
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 [...]

These Are The Days That Put A Smile To My Face
May 5th, 2008 · 18 Comments · Memorable Events - good or bad
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!
I know it’s a tiny little baby step. But still …

Our 7th Anniversary For Better And For Worse
November 5th, 2007 · 18 Comments · Memorable Events - good or bad
How many 7 years do we have? Perhaps 10? The 1st 7-year we spend almost oblivious of what life is about. The 2nd 7-year we figure out what education means. The 3rd 7-year we study hard to get to the University we want and we fall in and out of a series of love relationships [...]

A Journal of National Day Parade Preview (2007)
July 29th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Memorable Events - good or bad
Both Cynthia and I felt a bit weird dressed in red while having Prawn Mee. Not just any red, but the kind of red that stops traffic. What to do? We were encouraged to dress this way. It is not as though our wardrobe has lots of red items to choose [...]

So I Found A Job (And Thanks For The Support Y’all!)

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 [...]

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 [...]

Cynthia’s Birthday
June 6th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Memorable Events - good or bad
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 [...]
