Christmas Cards

November 14, 2008 / Culture, Daily Life

Sorry for not blogging. I’ve had a beyond shitty week, from waking up at 4AM for work to even waging war with my Delifrance Egg Mayo Baguette (which I will leave for another entry). So shitty I was contemplating to gulp down a jug of Tiger Beer during dinner, which I later settled for a…



FORMULA 1 Singapore Grand Prix

September 26, 2008 / Daily Life, Reviews

VROOM! Peeeeeewww! VrmmmmMMMMM! VrmmmmMMMMM! That’s all I’m hearing right now. My company recently sent me to the Singapore F1 Grand Prix this week to be a receptionist/sales person at the Media Centre.

Tears from the Ear

September 20, 2008 / Daily Life

Life Lessons Learned from Sports

August 26, 2008 / Culture, Daily Life, Opinion

Today, I finally realized why sports is so important in life. As an elementary school sprinting champion, I am now able to run fast, fast enough to run after the bus that seems to always want to escape me. As a basketball point guard, where I was a dwarf amongst giants, I gained the skill to…



New Job, New Life

August 22, 2008 / Daily Life

I don’t think I can apologized more than enough for the lack of blogging. I don’t really have the excuse of “it’s summer” anymore, since it’s summer all year round in sunny Singapore. I do have a new perfectly valid excuse for neglecting my emails and my blog – an excuse better known as a full-time,…
