On Singlish
I dedicate this post to Soh Ee. I walked past the television in my living room some time last week and came across a program on Channel News Asia which my sister was watching. I paused to listen a little as I could recognise some Thai words being used, despite my sister telling me that […]

Eye power
This post is dedicated to Yio Janice. Janice and I had a mini break from 4pm to 4.30pm today at the business canteen. Having bought herself a bottle of milk after we were done with our desserts, she had troubles poking a hole through the foil, which covers the bottle mouth, with the straw. In […]
MorePassivity
This post is dedicated to Kitt because she messaged to say, “hello !” for no reason. I appreciate it, thank you Kitt. The internet is boring; I check all my three emails and I am done.

Thank you Mei Ching :) I also appreciate that you shared about your friendship experiences with me. Would like to share this with my family, […]
MoreTime flies
Sunday after Sunday. Issue after issue of Fortune magazines. Book after book from Catherine Lim to Frankenstein. From National Service to University. Tests after tests. Exams after exams from Secondary Two streaming to Prelims. Semester reports after semester reports. Parents’ signature; one after another. Today marks the end of the two and a half years […]
MoreHardwork, a concept
This post is dedicated to my brother. When my brother was streamed into Normal (Academic), it was the first time I pondered about the word “hardwork”. It is unfair to him to say that: 1. He has failed, because 2. He is lazy. Looking at my brother’s achievement in the Scouting movement till the present […]
