Cate, Ervyn and I were jogging in Ang Mo Kio Park this afternoon when the forest inspired us to make an impromptu movie ala Blair Witch. Impromptu meaning there wasn’t even a script, we just rolled the camera and started running and screaming all over the place. Once we got home, that’s when we thought […]

Shoe Junkie Bag
I love this shoe bag that came as a freebie in an Elle magazine. Perfect bag to store flip-flops that you can slip into after work. Fits snugly into your bag and looks prettier than cellophane.
No Regrets: My Mother’s Story
Now I’ve Steve Jobs’s speech about how the dots only connect when you look back and I even had my own epiphany about how a picture only looks clear when you’ve stepped back and seen it from a distance instead of pressed up against your nose. But when you’re not “there” yet, it’s not quite […]
One Loves the Sunset When One is So Sad
Talk about right timing. Caught this view from outside our flat in Ang Mo Kio this evening.
Bye Romilie Rosalie Ronalie (Karaoke)
I can’t believe Rome is leaving P&G. But she’s doing it to go back home and be with her daughter, so it’s a good call. April asked me to record a video for her and I did one better: a karaoke of a “personalized song” for her, since she and I were the lyricist partners […]
Easy to Go There
One thing I love about Singapore is how organized their commute system is. You can use just one EZlink card to pay for all your fares, and you can “top up” your card at all train stations. You can call to book a cab to pick you up at any time of the day. All […]
It’s Christmas Time in Orchard
Ervyn and I met up with Nino (Tyne’s brother), a fellow job hunter this afternoon. We ended up taking more pictures than we dispensed resumes. I just love Orchard Road’s Christmas baubles! postcard-perfect penthouse floor view giant louis vuitton bag I’m carrying a giant LV gift-wrapped Chanel hugging Santa the boys […]
My First Movie
“Are you teachers here?” the makeup artist asked me and Wee Kiong as she spritzed hairspray all around my head. “No,” Wee Kiong replied with a laugh. “We’re friends of Li Lin.” I nodded, thinking, wow, who would’ve thought that there would ever come a time when I could agree to such a statement – […]
Chi’s Peanuts and AA’s Shrimps
Gelle and I hung out at the Chi’s and AA’s flat this afternoon. Chi boiled peanuts in their kitchen and we were all surprised to find out for the first time that it takes some 2-3 hours to cook boiled peanuts. In the living room, we watched Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, an old international […]
Pump and Spize and Everything Nize
Last night I met up with the UE Square girls. Our meeting was a popular restaurant named Spize the Makan Place. I had never been there, before, though, so I took a cab to get there and the following conversation ensued between me and the driver. Me: 409 River Valley Road, please.Driver: Do you know […]
