Two Saturdays ago, I used my blogging earnings (my first Nuffnang cheque) to buy a Valore bluetooth speaker to use with my laptop. I had discovered how to connect it to our living room TV using the HDMI cable, but the sound was not loud enough. I didn’t realise that you could use the TV’s […]
Unhappiness is…
… reality falling short of our expectations. That’s what I realized from watching 500 Days of Summer. It’s true, though, isn’t it? So I guess the moral lesson is to not have high expectations?

Throwback – Back in My Day
We had cassette tapes instead of CD’s or Itunes. When I wanted my own copy of a song but didn’t have enough money to buy the album, I would wait for it to play on the radio and record the song playing on a blank tape. I also did this with songs on my favorite […]
Short Hair
My long hair was annoying. It was too thick and heavy and hot and I kept tying it to get it out of the way. One day I decided I had had enough and headed to a salon to have it chopped off. As the hairdresser snipped off my locks, I wished that all things […]

Night Out with a Visitor from Sydney
My friend Chu, who lives in Sydney, visited us in Singapore for the weekend before heading to Thailand for the Songkran Festival.

Monopod Selfies are the Best Selfies Ever
Last year, I bought a hand held monopod, which is a gadget you attach to your camera to allow you to kind of extend your arm and take a shot of yourself using the timer function. Think tripod but with one leg, hence the name. Since then, life has never been the same. Okay, I […]
