Finally, the book I’ve been waiting for since last year is out – Mockingjay, the final book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I had pre-ordered the book months ago but since it was shipped from the US, it’s still en route to me. Luckily, I found a free Stanza Reader ebook late last Thursday and […]
Gay’s First Day in SG
Gay arrived in Singapore this afternoon. Maya and I fetched her from the airport and the first thing she said when I met her was, “Ang init pala dito no?” (It’s so hot here, isn’t it?) Haha. That’s what three months in Perth will do to you. She had just come from Perth, Australia, where she […]
A Morning in Clarke Quay
So this morning I went to Clarke Quay to pick up my new employment pass at MOM (Ministry of Manpower). I had a new photo taken and I was quite happy with it. Then it turns out I didn’t need to submit a picture because they used the one in the system. So that means […]
(Not) Everything with Fries
Yves discovered Katong, supposedly Singapore’s food enclave, and suggested going there. So off we went this evening. We tried out Everything with Fries. The books on the shelves against a wall gave the place a homey feel. The english songs blaring from their speakers also added to the cozy ambiance. When the waitress arrived, we […]
Thank God For Batchmates
It may not be obvious to everyone who knows me well, but I’m actually a shy person… when I’m a newbie. If you don’t believe me, just ask the AP folks in P&G when I was a newbie. My teammates actually asked me, “Tahimik ba talaga ang mga taga ZC?” (Are people from ZC really […]
A Student Again
Ok here I go again. Another first day. First day at school, so it seemed. I started my new work today, and we’re in training for three days. Today’s session reminded me of my Accounting classes. Actually, I didn’t like the subject of equities back then; I preferred assets. So I was slightly afraid of […]
Pigging out in La Noce and Sakura
Yesterday, I had a date with my fellow riddler Ngangi. It started when we met up at Tiong Bahru Plaza to ride a cab to one of her favorite haunts, an Italian restaurant called La Noce. It was just supposed to be a five minute cab ride away… if the cab driver knew where it […]
Watch Out For Trucks
Yesterday I started reading Robert Fulghum’s What On Earth Have I Done, which was my birthday gift to Ngangi. I came across this interesting portion: During the ride home, Brie was unusually quiet. I parked the car and we walked hand-in-hand toward my house, where she was spending the night. Still quiet. Suddenly she said: […]
You are Diverse, Singapore
The beauty of Singapore is in its diversity – especially when it comes to food. Just check out the different kinds of food that I had this week, for example. First up: Nasi Lemak, a Malaysian dish which is common enough in most hawker places but which I’ve never tried in the almost two years […]
Salt {Movie Review}
We watched Salt last night, and even though an onset of migraine gave me a mild photophobia (sensitivity to light) which forced me to wear sunglasses inside the cinema, it didn’t make the movie any less enjoyable to watch for me. But then again, I have always been a fan of Angelina’s action movies. She’s […]
