This happened sometime in December last year. I had just left the office and was browsing for Christmas gifts in a nearby shop. I found a bunch of stuff I liked and brought them to the cashier where I discovered that my wallet was missing. So I left the stuff and headed back to the […]
You Saw What??
As I said in a previous entry, “Sorry?” is my most used phrase here in Singapore because it’s hard to understand their accent sometimes. Over lunch today, I related two examples of this scenario that had us doubled up in laughter. So now my tummy hurts from too much P.osh brownies, Just Acia ice cream, […]
A Dozen Dimsums to Say Goodbye
Desmond organized a “treasury farewell lunch” for me today. Yeah I know. I’m not from Treasury. How nice of them, right? There were three of them in the team – Des, his boss Ewee, and their management trainee Nidhi. The other member of their team, Xin Min, was on leave. We headed to Pine Court […]
What Color is My Parachute?
Years ago, I found this old book in a rummage sale called What Color is Your Parachute? I bought it because it had been mentioned somewhere (I’ve forgotten where by now). But I didn’t get to read until last year, and I wished I hadn’t let it gather dust in one corner because it answered […]
Friendster Testimonials
A few years ago, Friendster was the ultimate “in” thing. Then Multiply came. Then Facebook. Then Twitter. Now I rarely even open Friendster except to read Tupe’s blogs. Facebook is so much more fun. But I guess the one nice thing about Friendster that Facebook doesn’t have is testimonials. So, lest my Friendster account gets […]
I Had Two Cakes and Ate Them Too
We were still all up at midnight when Cate stood up and announced that she wanted to drink water. When she opened the door, Gelle and Joey burst singing into the room with a small cake and a bottle of faux wine. Awww!!! Thanks again you guys!! You didn’t really have to give me a […]
Kuya Tupe’s Birthday Letter
Aww, was brought to tears when I read Tupe’s open letter to me in his blog. Tupe was a college classmate whom I called Kuya (big brother) just because he was born a year ahead of our batch. He gamely allowed me to and called me his little sister. In many ways, he did seem […]
The Time Traveler’s Wife {Movie Review}
Last Thursday night was the first day that the movie The Time Traveler’s Wife was showing in Singapore and Gelle and I were among the kiasu people who went to watch it that very night. We had both read the book (written by Audrey Niffenegger) months ago, the reason why we were so excited to […]
A Fuzzy Ducky Birthday Surprise
After walking around Chinatown and Ion Orchard, Cate, Chu and I finally got home where a surprise was waiting for me – spaghetti aglio oglio, fried chicken, black forest cake, banderitas, party hats crowns, and a room full of friends yelling “Happy Birthday!” the princess and the cherries (now that’s a new fairy tale) crowned […]
Fish and my Feet
Yesterday, I went to Chinatown with Cate and Chu, where I ended up trying the fish spa for the first time. I’ve always wanted to try it, but it’s expensive in other places. At a shop in second floor of People’s Park it only costs S$5 for 10 minutes, so I happily decided to give […]
