My UAPL Finance officemates held a farewell lunch for me at Tampopo, a Japanese restaurant in Liang Court. I ordered the black pig and barbeque pork ramen with tasty egg, which was quite nice, though I was able to finish less than half of the noodles because I can’t seem to take in too much […]
The Aligaga Place
Yesterday was my last day in UAPL, so my lunch buddies said I could pick where I wanted to eat. I pondered where was the most memorable place that we had lunch and it came to me in a flash – “Let’s go to the aligaga place!” The place I was referring to is actually […]
Moving to Ang Mo Kio
Cate, Tatsie and I moved to our new flat in Ang Mo Kio last Sunday. We didn’t realize that we had sooo much stuff! We were afraid that they wouldn’t fit into the moving van that Tatsie had booked for 40 bucks but it turns out we need not have worried. The truck was so […]
The Day I Became an Illegal Alien
This happened sometime in December last year. I had just left the office and was browsing for Christmas gifts in a nearby shop. I found a bunch of stuff I liked and brought them to the cashier where I discovered that my wallet was missing. So I left the stuff and headed back to the […]
You Saw What??
As I said in a previous entry, “Sorry?” is my most used phrase here in Singapore because it’s hard to understand their accent sometimes. Over lunch today, I related two examples of this scenario that had us doubled up in laughter. So now my tummy hurts from too much P.osh brownies, Just Acia ice cream, […]
A Dozen Dimsums to Say Goodbye
Desmond organized a “treasury farewell lunch” for me today. Yeah I know. I’m not from Treasury. How nice of them, right? There were three of them in the team – Des, his boss Ewee, and their management trainee Nidhi. The other member of their team, Xin Min, was on leave. We headed to Pine Court […]
What Color is My Parachute?
Years ago, I found this old book in a rummage sale called What Color is Your Parachute? I bought it because it had been mentioned somewhere (I’ve forgotten where by now). But I didn’t get to read until last year, and I wished I hadn’t let it gather dust in one corner because it answered […]
Friendster Testimonials
A few years ago, Friendster was the ultimate “in” thing. Then Multiply came. Then Facebook. Then Twitter. Now I rarely even open Friendster except to read Tupe’s blogs. Facebook is so much more fun. But I guess the one nice thing about Friendster that Facebook doesn’t have is testimonials. So, lest my Friendster account gets […]
I Had Two Cakes and Ate Them Too
We were still all up at midnight when Cate stood up and announced that she wanted to drink water. When she opened the door, Gelle and Joey burst singing into the room with a small cake and a bottle of faux wine. Awww!!! Thanks again you guys!! You didn’t really have to give me a […]
Kuya Tupe’s Birthday Letter
Aww, was brought to tears when I read Tupe’s open letter to me in his blog. Tupe was a college classmate whom I called Kuya (big brother) just because he was born a year ahead of our batch. He gamely allowed me to and called me his little sister. In many ways, he did seem […]
