Tears from the Ear

September 20, 2008 / Daily Life / 13 Comments

One morning in the subway, I almost cried. It was the song playing on my mp3 player – a Japanese song called ‘Motherland’ by a half-Korean half-African American singer, Crystal Kay. I’ve had this song on my playlist for more than 5 years, but I’ve never paid any attention to it. I always thought that…


Girl with a Guitar

Remember the beautiful Nanyate?! Guitar that looks like my layout? Well, here’s how it sounds with a guitar novice trying too hard to sing and strum at the same time: pretty crappy. But then what can you expect out of a S$99 (USD $70) guitar and someone who hasn’t sung in 5 years? The song…


New Job, New 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,…


The Nanyate?! Guitar

While I was showing my high school classmate around Singapore yesterday, a guitar caught my eye. When I saw it, my heart skipped a beat.

Two months ago, I posted an entry chronicling a day spent in Toronto with my boyfriend. See A Day in Photos. This time, I will chronicle a night spent in Singapore with my best friend, ID. 6.15PM: From Ritzy Restaurant to High-Class Hawker ID and I met up yesterday to conceptualize a new layout for…


Self Searching

Warning! Long entry of which Part 2 involves psychoanalysis. If delving into your unconscious doesn’t interest you, feel free to skip it. Part 1: Self-searching and Job-searching Wow. It’s really been a while since I last blogged. As most of you know, it’s because I’m still in my transition period. Two weeks for transitioning was…


Goodbye Toronto, Hello Singapore!

Hello Nanyaters! I meant to update earlier but I’ve been sick, thus bedridden since I arrived at Singapore. Looks like a 20 degree Celsius change is just too much for my body to handle. Anyway, my fever is going down, so I thought I’d blog a little. Truth be told, I don’t really know what…
