Conversation with a Telecoms Engineer

September 29, 2009 / Daily Life

Had the fortune to manage a part of the Singapore Grand Prix again this year. Highlights included walking pass Nicole Scherzinger and Michelle Yeoh, and also having the Senior Minister of Singapore check out my week-long workplace. Ironically, the only highlight that will stay etched in my memory was a conversation with one of my…



Why I Enjoy Reading Investment Banking Blogs

September 6, 2009 / Daily Life, Psychology

Note: Excuse the typo-laden entry. It’s 4am and my eyes are about to close. My latest favorite reads are a line-up of cynical, sadistic, pompous blogs written by investment bankers.

A Moment of Psychosis

January 12, 2008 / Daily Life

I was at Tim Horton’s yesterday with my boyfriend. As I sat down with my lovely ice cappuccino, the lady from the table behind stared into my eyes with such ferocious intensity. Such viciousness. Such coldness. Such a mental disturbance (hers, not mine). When I turned away, she resumed her sweet talking with her boyfriend. I have…
