Having a trust broken is one of the most painful experiences. I’m sure we’ve all been on both sides of the fence – of the one breaking the trust, as well as the one being deceived. How do we react? How do we deal with it? When we’re the one being deceived, righteous indignation, hurt […]

Friendship Relic
Many, many years ago, my little friend Yinwei and I bought ourselves a pair of Mickey & Minnie journals to write each other in. We would pen down our thoughts, make silly (sometimes very nice) drawings, wrote stories, gossiped, poured out our hearts… all within the confines of its cartoony covers. We’d exchange journals and […]
Indonesia Sedap!

Ha ha… it’s really that obvious huh? This uncle’s been getting me to taste different […]
Off to Jakarta
Am going off to Jakarta for the weekend to celebrate my grandmother’s 80th birthday. It should be fun cos it’s the whole family going together this time. John hasn’t been there in years. It will be Cathy’s first visit to my relatives’ homes in Indonesia, and it will be both Zibin and Cathy’s first time […]
Simply Disappointing
Today was my much awaited ‘Bread Date’ with Jing Jing. Simply Bread was a bread haven that Mary-Ann told me about during our JC days. Back in those days it was just a small little bakery bursting with delightful bread creations. We used to go there on our way home from Hwa Chong and load […]
Dreaming of Toronto
Last night I dreamt that I was visiting Toronto. I dreamt that all my Toronto friends met up with me and we went out to eat and had a great time together. I must be missing Toronto more than I realize… I’ve been uninspired food-wise in Singapore. Whenever Zibin and I are meeting up with […]
Hurting the ones you love
‘The only people who can hurt you are the people you truly love. The only people whom you can hurt are the people who really love you.’ That’s what my friend Duanneng commented on Yinwei’s blog. I think she is right on. If ever you loved deeply, you would also have been hurt deeply. But […]
Hot Yoga Not So Hot
I tried Hot (Bikram) Yoga for the first time at Pure Yoga yesterday. I have to say, I didn’t care very much for it. 25-30 extremely sweaty bodies cramped in a sauna-like room with perspiration beads being dripped and flung about… and with so little space in between yoga mats that I couldn’t even do […]
Perspective
Two men looked out from prison bars One sees mud, the other sees stars. – Frederick Langbridge We live in the same world. Do you see doom everywhere, destruction, evil, mayhem? Or do you see love, hope, forgiveness, triumph and joy? Is it what is ‘out there’ or what is in you that makes you […]
iHome
One of our new electronic acquisitions for the matrimonial home. It all started when Zibin said he needed an alarm clock. But then, as Chandler and Joey would put it, “we took it to the NEXT LEVEL”. And so now we’ve got an alarm clock, radio and iPod speaker system and charger in one. You […]
