Happy 2009 and Merry Belated Christmas! Sorry, I’ve been missing in action the past few weeks. I took a trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to visit my high school friends. It was like reliving my teenaged years for a week. We watched movies, played pool, ate at Chilli’s and by the roadside, played at the…
It’s been 1 year since my first post on Nanyate.com. It was meant to be a personal blog, where I would just rave and rant my thoughts. But that didn’t happen. It ended up becoming a blog where I tailor my entries to multiple audiences. And I probably did more grammar checks per entry than…

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.
