J**n q**g and W*ll** draped with aprons with a pocket in front. They were playing the recorder with a box in front of them. They take turns to play a repetitive motif. They do the “wai” between verses, putting down their recorders on the box when they do so. We go around to furniture shops. […]

MoreI noticed a cockroach crawling around in my room and instinctively sprayed Baygon at it. However instead of dying, the relentless cockroach was conjuring what seemed like an illusion of disappearing and reappearing behind me.

MoreAnd we thought that the solutions to cleaning up the environment are to switch off the lights and turn off the taps after use. Not forgetting planting shrubs and trees in the neighbourhood.

MoreDear: Can I really be a salesperson? Reply: I think you can look back at your own life. There are times when you must have convinced someone of something, or at least aligned her thoughts with yours. Hold on to that feeling. What remains is the subject matter at hand. Our reaction: WaaaaaaH! Didn’t know […]
MoreA quick guide to tailoring shirts for first timers; a quick reminder who might qualify as good tailors for myself. I am in Bangkok and I did the best that could ever be done to test who qualifies as a good tailor. I went to two different tailor shops. One decidedly bad and the other good. […]
MoreThis was a nightmare. To prevent my ass from getting kicked, I’m keeping this short and sweet. The swimming pool, the 20-storey condominium, etc, the setting was perfect. I stole a kiss on the cheek of this girl I got to know back in junior college. Perhaps I was not charming enough; she told the […]
MoreThis was a nightmare. I can only remember it in pieces of imagery. Simon Yam. Dubious detective. Leon Tan. The bad guy who didn’t seem like a bad guy.

MoreI always preferred conversing in mandarin, more so than english. And I always thought I excelled in it. This is especially so when I think I have caught my customers by the balls, speaking to them in their preferred language, ie Mandarin, building strong rapport with them HAH!.. until my girlfriend Shu Yi told me […]
MoreI sometimes wonder what it’ll be like working on my family business together with my grand-dad if he was still alive; in comparison with other multiple-generations family business in which the grandparent helms the business.
MoreThis was a nightmare. As you would feel when an elevator travels downwards, I felt an initial slight lowering of the platform at Potong Pasir MRT station. I knew I needed to get out onto the surface, quick. However, it wasn’t more than a few running steps that the ground suddenly gave way* completely. I […]
