TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a global set of conferences owned by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, formed to disseminate “ideas worth spreading.” You can view these talks on their website. A few weeks ago, they launched an app that allows you to listen to these talks from your phone, and suddenly I stopped […]
Prince Charming Qualifications
Me: I just had an angel card reading. Looks like I won’t be finding Prince Charming soon. Flisha: Just get a frog and turn him! Or a beast. Or a pauper. Now that I think about it, the fairy tales are pretty lenient on who can become a prince. Me: Haha I didn’t realize that […]
The Stranger on the Bus
The episode from my life that I will relate now actually happened a few days ago, during the Chinese New Year. But before I get to that, let me share the story that made me think of it. This story was shared to me by my friend Chrissete earlier tonight. She said it was a […]
Welcome to My Sitcom :)
Some time ago, I came up with this thought: Life is like a movie. There are quotable quotes, comedy, songs in the background, giddy moments, tears, unexpected twists, moral lessons, villains, leading men and happy endings. But it’s completely up to you if you’d like to play the lead role or just be an extra. […]
Mistakes
I finished How I Met Your Mother’s season 1 last night. I liked that episode about the mistakes, when Ted said that sometimes, you just have to do something even though you know it’s a mistake. I know he and Robin don’t end up together in the end, but I know Ted would have always […]
RIP Steve Jobs
I’ve never met the guy in person, but I really idolized him, way before I bought the iphone where I found about his death or this macbook that I am now typing this blog on. I idolized him the moment I heard his Stanford commencement speech, the one where he said: Sometimes life hits you […]
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 […]
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 […]
Flying After his Dreams
“I dreamed about you last night,” I told my friend over the phone while I was in the bus enroute to work this morning. I narrated the latest in my bizarre string of dreams set in my hometown. “Your bestfriend was there too, and he was wearing a suit with pink trim. It kinda looked like Ron […]
Laptop Mother
I was busy painting my toe nails while sitting on the edge of our living room’s raised platform floor while my flatmate Ann was chatting to her son on Skype. My heart tore a bit when I overheard their conversation. Ann: I’ll watch you while your dad goes out for a while. Son: I don’t […]
