A couple of Christmases ago, I posted my wish to own a kindle. I finally decided to get one as a birthday gift for me this year. I asked my friend Zenie, who was coming over from UK, to buy it for me so I could save on freight cost. It cost me around S$180. […]

I’ll Be Home for Christmas!
… and this time, it’s not only in my dreams! Today was my first day back in the office after 12 days of vacation. There were a few seconds when my fingers hovered uncertainly over the keyboard, unsure of which keys to click to set my computer to life. A P&G GM who was an […]
Picture with Piolo
Piolo Pascual was in Sentosa (Singapore) tonight. We (or should I say Cate) asked him to have a picture with us. For Cate, Tyne and me, this is actually the second time for us to have a picture with him since we first saw him in Robinson’s Manila eight years ago. Yeng Constantino was also […]
ClimbMax in Sentosa
Yesterday Zenie asked me if I wanted to try out the mega zipline in Sentosa, so I checked out their website to get more information about it. Well that certainly made my heart pound, all right, and not in a good way. I am scared of heights, and I wasn’t sure I could handle it. Then […]
Danke, Andre!
Actually, “danke” means “thank you” in German and this post probably shouldn’t be titled that, but that’s the only German word I know aside from “ich liebe dich” which would have been more inappropriate, since it means “I love you.” So. Anyway. My friend Nikki’s German friend Andre was in Singapore and she asked me […]
Birthday Celebration @ Pan Pacific Hotel
I celebrated my birthday with my hometown friends like I did last year – in a hotel room. I served Ikea chicken wings, Canadian pizza, and hokkien mee. Anne and Mark brought their wii and guitar and we all had such a blast eating and playing and jamming and talking and laughing with each other. […]
Zenie in Singapore
The last time I saw Zenie, it was also in September and also in Singapore, but three years ago. She was back in Singapore just in time for my birthday, flying in from UK, where she has been working for some four years now. Gay and I met her in terminal 3 and we had […]
Birthday Cakes
For the first time in the history of me working, I decided to take a birthday leave! Yahoo! So… now what? *Crickets chirping* Aha! I can wax nostalgic and take a look at pictures of my previous birthdays. (Whew! Crisis avoided.) My first ever birthday. Obviously I don’t remember anything about it but the pictures show that […]
Surprised
My first birthday surprise came this morning when I arrived at my work station to find Hershey’s kisses on it. Turns out it was from my new seatmate Tinay. She said she had been pressured when I jokingly told her the day before that I was expecting a surprise. LOL! Such a sweet gesture nonetheless. […]
I Miss Puppies
The mocha smell of their breath as they lick your face. The gentle pressure of their teeth as they playfully nibble on your hands. The cute sound of their high pitched barks as they try to get your attention. The way they chase you around the house. Their soft fur that smell really nice right […]
