Yes! Our band finally did it at The Hereen, a 30 minutes slot playing our own original music. I have practically put all my other plans on hold for this Nov 29 event. Being introduced as a local Singaporean band means a lot to me, though Jason the guitarist joked that my accent is not very [...]

August 29th, 2008 11 Comments
I was invited to a blogger event hosted by HBO Asia. And I grabbed Cynthia along to keep me away from the distraction of so many beautiful celebrity bloggers at the party. It was a memorable evening, eye-opening to say the least, to tour the HBO compound from production to live broadcast. Before we get [...]

Now, how cool is that? Last night, [...]

Me No Shy About Me Birthday
July 10th, 2008 16 Comments
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 [...]

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
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 … Tweet

Caption of the picture above: On the far left is me. The lady next to me is my counterpart in Mandarin (the other much better looking emcee). The rest are the sisters and brothers who guarded the gate and crashed the gate respectively in an early Sunday morning. Part 1 of 2: Of Brothers and [...]

Our 7th Anniversary For Better And For Worse
November 5th, 2007 18 Comments
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
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 from. So I donned [...]

July 17th, 2007 6 Comments
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 [...]
