Life Lessons Learned from Sports

August 26, 2008 / Culture, Opinion / 6 Comments

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 / 15 Comments

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

July 12, 2008 / Daily Life / 7 Comments

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. It looked strangely familiar, almost like something I’d design myself. I wanted to buy it, but I was hesitating, since I don’t make many impulse buys – at least, not…

After experiencing life in Asia for the past month or so, I have come to conscious realization that Asians are infatuated with designer bags. It’s not a bad thing. However, with a little knowledge of designer labels, it has become quite obvious that most (not all) aren’t infatuated with the bag or the brand, but…

Singaporeans are incredibly infatuated with cellphones. Everywhere you go people are text messaging, chatting, emailing all the time. It has been said that the annual cellphone sales in Singapore is often double the population of the country. So why the craze? Cellphones, otherwise known here as handphones, is a symbol of fashion forwardness, education and…


Goodbye Toronto, Hello Singapore!

May 29, 2008 / Daily Life, Opinion / 10 Comments

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…
