July 3rd, 2008 · 8 Comments · Other People's Lives

What a bizarre week!  First my sister got hitched.  Then my old friend of more than a decade whom I have worked with officially made it to the partner’s rank in a major accounting firm just yesterday.  On the same day, I saw another old friend of mine whom I have also worked with featured in our [...]

Reality Can Be Cold At Times

January 4th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Other People's Lives

So Cynthia Has A New Hairstyle

July 18th, 2007 · 11 Comments · Other People's Lives

Deep inside, I have always wanted Cynthia to have that long straight hair like the 99.99% of the female population found in the CBD area. I often think that majority of the population can’t be wrong. She did have her hair rebonded a couple of times and she never quite likes the damage done to [...]

Wow … This Lady is Hardworking

October 18th, 2006 · No Comments · Other People's Lives

7pm, my friend dropped me back in the office area after a tender presentation. I had my dinner and remembered that I need to buy some bathroom stuffs (thanks to the writings on my palm … literally). Picked up my stuffs and proceeded to counter. I greeted the shop assistance and not sure if she [...]
