My Maid of Honor Speech (and Tips on How to Write One)

June 2, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 10 Comments

When Zenie first asked me to be her maid of honor, I was elated. What an honor! Then I got scared. OMG, what was a maid of honor supposed to do? And wasn’t there a speech involved? So I googled how to write such a speech, and tried drafting one in my head. Then I realized that […]

Blogger Problems

May 13, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 16 Comments

Are you familiar with the First World Problems meme? They are frustrations and complaints that are only experienced by privileged individuals in first world countries. It is typically used as a tongue-in-cheek comedic device to make light of trivial inconveniences. Well I guess blogger problems are sort of like these, aren’t they? So let’s get […]

How to Escape the Friend Zone

April 30, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 16 Comments

“How do you escape the friend zone?” a guy colleague of mine asked during a drinking session one night. “You should not be such a Mr. Nice Guy,” a girl colleague replied, coolly blowing smoke into the air. She was the kind of girl who knew what she was talking about, I supposed. She had […]

You’re* (Woes of a Grammar Nazi)

April 29, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 6 Comments

Sometime ago I saw this post which had me giggling. I confess that I am a bit of a grammar nazi. I know my grammar isn’t perfect, but I can’t help it. It irks me when people make simple mistakes, like misspell words such as “lose” as “loose” or “shucks” as “shocks.” Another main gripe of mine is when […]

eXpat Problems

April 28, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 14 Comments

Are you familiar with the First World Problems meme? Well I’m taking a stab at it, but on expat problems instead. (1) I got invited to another wedding the month after a wedding that I am already attending. I don’t have the budget for the double plane fare, so I’m sorry but I’ll have to pass. (2) I don’t understand most of the posts on […]

7 Reasons Why I Kissed Online Dating Goodbye

April 27, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 12 Comments

Unlike some people I personally know, I don’t frown upon online dating as a way to meet significant others. Also, I think people who do are way too judgmental. Hello! Welcome to modern times! Most single friends I know have dabbled in it. I have a couple of cousins who met husbands this way, so I […]

The Perks of Being a Blogger

April 18, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 16 Comments

(1) You get to “taste life twice” thanks to your archives which allows you to relive memories. I know everyone else takes pictures these days and can do that through those, too, but believe me, pictures do not capture everything. It amazes me how I can read my old posts and go, “This happened? I had completely […]

10 Things I will Never Do

April 16, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 10 Comments

I’m a pretty adventurous person who is willing to try a lot of things at least once, like these items on my bucket list (things to do before I die) and reverse bucket list (30 things I did before 30). But I have my limits, and today, I trawled through a list of typical things […]

Happily Ever After: Yen’s Fairytale

April 9, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 28 Comments

The last time Yen was a title on this blog, she was in a sad relationship. She was so sad, in fact, that while I was touring her in Sentosa island, she poured out her story with a heavy heart. “Maybe I should talk to the merlion about this,” she sighed. “What do you think of […]

March 29, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 40 Comments

I have a 10 year old! Not a kid, but this blog. Other people throw birthday parties for 10 year old kids and celebrate 10 year anniversaries of relationships, but me, I do it for this blog. That may seem a bit sad, but it’s not as bad as it sounds, really! Yes, really.  Can you believe […]
