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 […]
Fifty Shades of Gay (Bridal Shower)
My friend Gay is getting married this month, so last Saturday we threw her a surprise bridal shower which we called Fifty Shades of Gay, which is obviously derived from Fifty Shades of Grey. The event was held at Geanette’s flat. I bought some bridal shower gear (the cosmopolitan-and-stiletto garland and bride-to-be rhinestone glasses) from […]
10 Things That Made Me Happy Recently
Things that made me happy recently: (1) Finding the perfect gifts for my boss and my parents. For my boss, I bought Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. When I gave it to him he said he had actually been thinking of buying the book, and it landed in his hands thanks to me. As for […]
How a VPN Changed My Internet Experience
Even though I’m always gushing about how I think the Internet is one of the best things that was ever invented, I’ve never mentioned the other side of the coin – about how it is also one of the scariest things that was ever invented. While we honest folks use it to communicate with the […]
How to Escape the Friend Zone
“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)
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
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
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 Little Prince Trailer (Video)
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it here before, but my most favorite book of all time is The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It looks like a children’s book, but it’s actually rife with meaning about love, life, and human nature. So when I watched the video of its movie trailer this week, you […]
Uniqlo Ultra Light Down Jacket
Ever since I first laid my eyes and hands on Uniqlo’s dreamy Ultra Light down jacket, I wanted to buy one of my own. But I just could not justify spending 99 bucks on something I had no use for in tropical Singapore. Luckily, my friends Kes and Drew decided to plan a trip to […]
