My Teva sandal fell apart when I was out for dinner yesterday. For the rest of the evening, I had to lift my right foot clearly off the ground when I walked so the ‘flap’ of the sole that had come loose wouldn’t drag on the ground. I wasn’t self-conscious about how I looked when […]

Hoo’s The Clown?
My Teva sandal fell apart when I was out for dinner yesterday. For the rest of the evening, I had to lift my right foot clearly off the ground when I walked so the ‘flap’ of the sole that had come loose wouldn’t drag on the ground. I wasn’t self-conscious about how I looked when […]
Good Enough To Eat
Was at the renovated Cold Storage Jelita briefly with my mom today. Beautiful new lay-out, bright, spacious…and the capsicums looked so colourful I couldn’t resist taking a photo. :)
Halim Family Reunion
Today was the 28th anniversary of my maternal grandpa’s passing. Every year, my mom’s family flies in to Singapore from various corners of the world (Indonesia, Malaysia, U.S., Canada, Hong Kong) at this time to visit my grandpa’s grave and to have a reunion. I have fond memories of these gatherings, especially since I had […]

The Apprentice (Baker)
One of the first thing John told me after he picked me up at the airport on Sunday was that our maid, Sol, has been baking bread. Well, buns to be precise…ham and cheese, ground beef, banana and cheese etc. She had baked a fresh batch for me to try, and they were delicious. So, […]
The Tofu Debate
Aarrggh. I slept ALL AFTERNOON!!!! It was a cool and lovely rainy day today. After lunch, I just couldn’t resist lying down on my bed and just…well…resting a bit. Before I know it, it’s 7p.m.!!! I’m so dead…*sob* ***** Zibin was able to have lunch with me today. We had a very, very animated debate […]
Nano Wait No More
Today was… Fun! Amusing! Enjoyable! Entertaining! Pleasurable! Ha ha…no, I haven’t gone nuts. I’m just still amused by Dictionapolis’ 5 cabinet members who speak in synonyms one after another. Yes, I’m talking about the Duke of Definition, Minister of Meaning, Earl of Essence, Count of Connotation and Undersecretary of Understanding. (Intrigued yet? Go and get […]
From Zero to Thirty
Well, I’m back in Singapore again. A veritable thunderstorm seems to be pouring outside…and I’m up at 5a.m. and getting pretty hungry (close to dinner-time in Toronto!). The flight back was pretty smooth and relatively pleasant. Positive points: 1) slept quite a bit, and pretty soundly too! 2) had Norton Juster’s The Phantom Tollbooth as […]
First Snow It Is!
Seems I blogged too soon yesterday… The heavens chose today to bestow its first snow of the season to Toronto. Yuehan smsed me to say “The snow insists on saying good-bye…” And as I was staring out of my window earlier, I was thinking the exact same thing. After so many winters, I still have […]
