The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we did the lo hei tradition at work. First, what is lo hei? The tradition of Lo Hei or Lo Sheng stems from the phrase’s Cantonese meaning of ‘tossing up good fortune’ using Yu Sheng or Fish Salad that symbolises ‘an abundance of wealth and long life’. […]
{Funny Friday} The Feng Shui Master’s Prediction
The Chinese New Year is approaching, so our HR lined up a few CNY-related activities, including a talk by a feng shui master. The session was to be conducted in Mandarin, but they said there would be English translations on the accompanying slides, so I signed up anyway. It turns out they only translated very […]
Birds with No Manners
The birds in Singapore have no manners. That’s right – birds. Those small animals with wings and feathers that fly in the sky and talk to Disney princesses and help them get dressed and stuff.

The Price of a Cracked Iphone Screen
Last week, I dropped my iPhone on the floor of Don Quijote restaurant and was shocked when its screen cracked. It could have fallen against the steel legs of the table. I can’t be sure. The annoying thing was I had a tempered glass on and it didn’t help at all. This was a first […]

Office Pranked
I was on leave last Friday, and when I came in to work this morning, this was what I saw on my desk: “Why?” and “Where were you?” are inside jokes, as well as “Hoot” which can be explained in this post. Other notable funny notes: “Welcome to Siberia!” (It’s freezing in our office lately.)“This […]
Just Blogger Things

Your friends have been known to say, “Nobody eat anything until insert your name here has taken pictures of the food!” And not just food, but everything, actually.

Are You a Night Owl Too?
A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with my buddy. I said something which he didn’t understand, and he apologized for being slow.
