When my mother first saw how my phone assisted me to navigate from Wheelock Place to The Big Splash on the road, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Hearing that all we need is the free satellite signal from above us even in the absent of mobile signal is enough to add that into her list of [...]

But strange behaviors emerge when we have to compete, especially when the rules are not well established. What am I talking about? The stealing of parking [...]

A Small Reunion Dinner
February 13th, 2010 2 Comments
When asked what we do during Chinese New Year, I often begin the lengthy recount of our culture and tradition with a reunion dinner that happens during our Chinese New Year Eve period.

February 6th, 2010 2 Comments

That applies to your recent promotion, you love life, those pineapple tarts that you have spent hours and hours of cooking to find that perfect balance, those regular practice sessions for climbing that one mountain, and etc. Not to over-dramatize, like I [...]

She Is Bethany

I have finally realized what the phrase “sleep like a baby” means after spending much time watching my niece who does nothing but sleeps during my frequent visits. Or I think I have realized. She does nothing but sleep! And I want to be just like her. In fact, when I look at her not looking at me, [...]

Learning Spanish In Singapore At Las Lilas, Recommended?
January 11th, 2010 No Comments
One reader wrote in and asked my opinion on learning Spanish as a language and learning Spanish at Las Lilas, the school where we learn Spanish. Since I do come across questions like these from time to time (like from my friends via Facebook and Messenger), perhaps it is a good idea to share my [...]
