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. It’s an invaluable addition to my resume, although the hours long and the work tedious. It’s a wonderful opportunity to be part of history in…



Tears from the Ear

September 20, 2008 / Daily Life

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

September 2, 2008 / Daily Life

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…



Life Lessons Learned from Sports

August 26, 2008 / Culture, Daily Life, Opinion

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,…



Problematic WordPress Upgrade

July 30, 2008 / Site Updates

Sorry for the hiatus, which unfortunately will have to continue for a while. I upgraded to WordPress 2.6 the first day of its release via the Automatic Upgrade plugin. And now my site is filled with problems. MAJOR problems. Until that’s fixed, I’m won’t be updating since it’s affecting every nook and cranny of this…



Michael Jackson meets Bollywood

July 15, 2008 / Internet Finds

My boyfriend sent me a Youtube link, and I was sooo wowed!! I never thought a trainee lawyer and a salesman could be so entertaining! Their stage presence is just so amazing!! I heavily, heavily recommend that you watch, if you haven’t already. They’re the runner-ups of Britain’s Got Talent Season 2, Signature! First Dance…
