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 […]
How I Met Your Father
This is a conversation that happens fairly often. Recently it happened again, with a different set of characters. “He seems like a decent guy. So what’s the problem?” we ask, after she tells us about a boy. “He’s younger than me!” she sighs. “So? Age does not matter,” someone else points out. This is the […]
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 […]
The Last Year of Being a Twenties Girl
Yesterday I was chatting with my friend Gay when we got round to the topic of her upcoming birthday next month. “Where shall we celebrate it?” I typed even as different places popped in my head. “The Line? Marina Bay Sands? Where do you want to go? It has to be somewhere special!” “I don’t […]
Blame Game
(This blog was actually my email to a friend after receiving her text to me last night. It sounded like a blog much more than an email, so I decided to publish it here. Haha.) Blame. If only I hadn’t done this or that, maybe he wouldn’t have left me. I went through that. And […]
In Sickness and in Health
I’m sure you’ve already seen the most popular segment in American Idol Season 10 so far – the audition of Chris Medina aka the guy whose fiancee got into a terrible accident that rendered her an invalid but whom he didn’t leave because, as he said, “what kind of guy would I be if I […]
Inked
Some eight years ago, I wrote the prologue for our college yearbook. Surprisingly, I find that it holds true not just for college but for life. Decided to transcribe it as it doesn’t seem to be that clear: Years ago, when we first stepped into college, troublesome thoughts assailed our senses. Some of us had […]
