One of the things I love about How I Met Your Mother is how it touches on issues that I can relate to. As the characters grow older, their issues change, and because I’m close to their age, it’s like I’m growing up with them. Season 8 Lily is a lot different from season 1 […]

Sarpino’s Pizza
One of the perks of working for our company is that we get free dinner and cab fare (through an e-voucher) if we have to work overtime (sadly we don’t get OT pay though, but I’m used to that from since my previous employers). We have corporate accounts (credit lines) in a few restaurants and […]
CNY: Lion and Lo Hei
Today a lion came into our office. He marched to the middle of our pantry where a platter of fruits and vegetables was laid out for him on the floor. He was accompanied by the sound of the drums. The entire platter went into his mouth and he lay down on the floor for quite […]
Buddha’s Claw
Mildred and I were shopping for lunch in Fairprice today when I came across this unusual-looking fruit. Buddha’s hand, really? But it looks scary as hell! They should call it an alien claw or something more appropriate. See what I mean? Scary as hell.
Comfort Coffee
Mildred and I both had little sleep last night so we decided to hit Starbucks right after our morning Corporate Actions training. We each had a grande – hers a macchiato, mine a mocha – and that was all we had for lunch. We weren’t hungry because we had heavy breakfasts. Seeing our two big […]
Pasir Ris Park Picnic
To celebrate Jemma and Maya’s promotion, we had a picnic in Pasir Ris Park yesterday. Jemma cooked her specialty, pansit, and Maya made puto and leche flan. They had rented a barbeque pit in the park so they also grilled some pork liempo, tuna and corn over the coals. It was a very delicious meal […]
The Day I Met Satan
This morning I woke up late and had to ride a cab to work. Now normally I hate it when cab drivers talk to me because I hate talking to strangers (yes I am anti-social like that), but this morning’s cab driver seemed like a happy, friendly, and non-creepy individual, so when he started engaging […]
Valentine’s Date with Death
This is easily the most depressing Valentine’s day ever. Oh boo-hoo, not another “forever alone” self-pity Valentines post, you’re probably thinking. It’s not that. I’m used to being single every Valentines because I’ve been single every single Valentine’s day of my life (that’s 30 Valentines days, in case you were wondering) but despite that, I […]
Gong Xi Fa – Ouch!
Just a couple of minutes after midnight, I greeted Arlyn a happy chinese new year at the same moment that I tried to pull the lazyboy’s leg (?) in and failed to do so all the way, hitting myself in the shin as it uncoiled. I hope this doesn’t mean that I’ll hurt myself a […]
