Oh God, I don’t even know where to start.
I am a small fry at work.  The VIP fly out for business trips, not me.  I make good coffee and I write well.  I make sure that everything is recorded, which is kind of important to the bosses.  When I think of my job, I think [...]

I don’t do any team sport.  I wonder what players would do one day before, say, a football practice.  My guitarist Jason wants to check out my new toy.  Not just any guitar amp and effect processor but one that comes with a - hold your breath - VOX Valve Reactor.  So he suggested a Sunday jamming [...]

Call me whatever you like but I simply love the teal color flower petal lookalike tiny thingies that produce beautiful sound.  When I took them out of the box, Cynthia went oooorrhh sooo cute …  and at that moment, I know, girls love that design too.  In fact, I think girls love this design this color [...]

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 [...]

Couple of weeks ago, my friendly boss dropped by my workplace - like he always does in an intraday manner to go through a checklist of 101 items with me - and he talked about “Made of Honour” instead.  He even gave a two thumbs up on that movie.  That was scary.  Was I being Googled [...]

You can laugh at me, or awe at my supreme skill of anticipation (not!?).  But look, I’ve already told you so.  Skip the 1,400-word wall of text of my previous post and scroll to the third last paragraph.  Come back when you are done, OK?  Yep, I predicted how the American Idol would end.

OK.  I [...]

My good friend Amie is leaving us this week and she asked if I could help her to transport this huge pan grill of, I assume, hers to home.  Sure, that’s what friends are for.  I often wonder what she does during the office lunch hours.  Had I know she grills meat all this while …
So [...]

I couldn’t open my jaw.
OK.  I could.  But not without the strange bone cracking sound from within my skull, and the pain.  It started when I was in Malaysia and it didn’t bother much till I realized that I couldn’t really sing without being able to open my mouth wide.  And I couldn’t yawn properly during my rather tiring [...]

“I have nothing to wear,” I screamed in desperation.  “How about that blue shirt of yours?” Cynthia suggested.  No way I was going to wear that for a wedding dinner because I have already worn that on another one.  OK, don’t panic.  Simply hit the Orchard road and pick something.  The dinner was at 7.30pm.  I have just woken [...]

It was all bright and shiny at the base of the hill when mom asked if she should bring along her little brolly.  Sure, why not.  It’s raining season in Singapore.  Back in where my mom lives, it is her favorite pastime to trek into some of the mountains with my dad in Hong Kong.  But there [...]
