Insomnia

January 18, 2008 / Daily Life

This is one of my rare posts about my emotions. As an ENTJ, it’s extremely difficult and exhausting even to figure out what my emotions, let alone express them. So if you comment, please keep that in mind. And if you’re not into sappy entries. Please move along to the entries below.



Idlelatory Worship

January 17, 2008 / Internet Finds, Reviews

No, that wasn’t a typo. I recently came across a popular site called idlethink.com maintained by someone called Rachel. It is a quaint site with little content, simple design, but the style of writing is simply breathtaking. She combines succinct language, strategic use of grammar and powerful adjectives to paint a rhetorical picture of her…



Singing Away

January 16, 2008 / Daily Life

Cooking Korean Food – Attempt 1

January 8, 2008 / Daily Life

I made it my resolution (not New Year’s) to learn how to cook Korean food (my fave cuisine) before I leave Toronto in 6 months. Mainly, because I couldn’t find any good Korean food in Singapore (Actually, I found a great Korean supermarket in Singapore called Solmart.) So anyways I went to the supermarket P.A.T….



Thank You To My Housemates

January 6, 2008 / Daily Life

I celebrated my 22nd birthday for the third time yesterday. This time it was with my housemates and 20 of their friends. We had a potluck party which celebrated the new year and my birthday. One of my housemates made butter chicken and chocolate fondue. (Sooooo goood!). They also had a surprise birthday cake for…
