Ahehe. I know, I know. Corny! I did get a small glimpse of the F1 race, though. A very faraway glimpse from our office in Raffles Place, where I saw the extent of the roads blocked off for this event, and an up-close view in Suntec City, where I got to see them racing by, […]

Hougang Saan
Theme song: Hougang saan hougang kailan… Cate and I finally moved into our flat in Hougang Central yesterday. Gelle, Joey and Peter had moved in last Monday. Addiction to the Twilight series made us want to call ourselves the Cullens. Hahaha. And so tonight, the “Cullens” decided to “hunt” in the nearby Punggol park. Okay, […]
Lah-sang
“Having here, take away?” The girl behind the food counter asks me. In other words, dine in or take out? This is only one of the seemingly unusual yet commonly heard phrases here in Singapore. Take this question from one of my teammates. “Try to approve. Can?” My other teammate’s answer: “Cannot.” But the most […]
Malled In
I’m ecstatic. We found an HDB flat at the most ideal spot – just a stone’s throw away from two malls, the Hougang MRT station and a bus stop! Nevermind that it’s on the third floor of a building that has no elevators (the exercise will do us good) and that it’s furnished with everything […]
My First Week
It was my first week at a new office. As most first weeks go, this one was quite boring, because there was nothing much to do yet. My boss took us out for lunch on my first day as a welcome to me, and we had Thai cuisine and home made ice cream for dessert. […]
How to Cry
Cate worries that her eyes will get all puffy because she has been up all night crying from reading the book New Moon. I did not cry from that book. But I got Bella’s hole in the chest so I had to stop reading it; the pain was too much for me. I eventually got […]
AP Reunion in Singapore
Adette and Cezanne, former officemates in P&G, had their market visit in Singapore this week so we arranged to meet up for dinner. Since they wanted to buy pasalubong, they decided to go to Suntec City Mall, where my office is located (yeah, my office is inside a mall. Talk about tempting.). I led them […]
College Reunion in Singapore
College classmates and former housemates and officemates (in KPMG) Chu and Zenie, OFWs based in Thailand and Jersey Island, decided to have a short vacation in Singapore. With Rodel, Tyne, Cate and I working here, it resulted to a college reunion in Singapore. Who would’ve ever thought this would happen? Chu flew in first on […]
Happier Birthday
I already had a very happy birthday, but it became even happier when I got this email from April just before I turned in for the night. This was the perfect way to end my day. Thanks so much for the effort, guys. Love you! ***** P&G’s never been the same without you… So we […]
My First OFW Birthday
At the stroke of midnight, Cate greeted me a happy birthday. We were both still up, watching an episode of Grey’s Anatomy which was taking forever to buffer online. Just then, Peter called me on YM. When I answered, the other trio of the furious five yell their greetings over cyberspace. After awhile we bid […]
