I may be speaking relatively, but I think I have a meager vocabulary. (It doesn’t help that I just had dinner with a friend yesterday who was able to name 5 animals beginning with the alphabet ‘Q’ at the drop of a hat. And the only one I recognized was ‘Quail’. Ken, you want to […]

Of Humans, Birds & Squirrels
Last friday we were shopping at a factory outlet in Waterloo, NY. And there was this flock of seagulls just standing there in the middle of the parking lot. Cars would go by really close to them, and they didn’t even flick a feather. The kid in me couldn’t resist wanting to disturb them. So […]
Chasing the Blues
Sore throat. Body-aches. Headache. Have paper to finish by mid-week and still a way to go. Read Ivy’s blog just now. She had her own version of ‘My Favourite Things’. Thought maybe I’ll try thinking up a few of mine. Brilliant blue skies. Beautiful sunsets. Warm apple cider. Reading in bed. Quiet time in the […]
Autumn in Ithaca
Didn’t take many pics (by my standards) this trip. And I forgot to take a pic of the engineering library to show you folks where I’ve been holed up in during part of my stay. :P Still, for those of you who like to see photos, there are a couple of interesting and/or nice ones. […]
Agony!
After all that talk about how I like Into The Woods and Agony in particular, I can finally show it to you! There are quite a few versions on YouTube. This one’s from the DVD recording of the original cast, with Robert Westenberg as Cinderella’s Prince and Chuck Wagner as Rapunzel’s Prince. It was a […]
November 1
It’s All Saints Day. And it’s also Zibin’s 28th birthday today. And finally, after a 5-year gap, I’m actually physically present for his special day again. :P ************** Zibin’s been commenting that I’m behaving like the city mouse who went to the village. But I can’t quite help it. I am a city mouse. When […]
The Challenge to Forgive
In my life there have been many different levels of challenges when it comes to offering forgiveness. Sometimes it’s not that hard because the hurt wasn’t very grave. Sometimes it’s a lot harder because the person in question still keeps hurting me or the people I love. The hardest case I’ve ever had in trying […]
One Of The Geeks (and rant to self)
Cornell students really study. The libraries are packed everyday. Even Sundays. At night! And it’s not just because it’s prelim (= midterm in UT lingo) season. And thing is, the libraries have been this way since the very first week of term! Today I joined the ranks of library pigeons here at Cornell. That is, […]
Makanmania @ Cornell
  I’ve heard of Makanmania since the days when Weizhen was studying at Cornell. It seemed like a cool idea, an annual food fair kind of thing featuring Singaporean hawker delights…prepared by the Singaporean student community. I got to attend Cornell SSA’s Makanmania yesterday. The menu was pretty impressive though the quality varied quite a […]
