In baby world, nothing says “I’m happy to see you!” like farting and pooping in your lap! At least, I’d like to think that since that’s exactly what Qiyang did to me today. It was such a loud and smelly affair happening less than 30cm from my face that I couldn’t help bursting into laughter, […]

Curb that enthusiasm
That title is supposed to be ironic cos these days I have barely any enthusiasm. I think the great contributors to this unlikely situation is 1. the still unsettled state of my thesis topic selection and 2. an unnamed upcoming event that just gives me the blahs each time I think of it. There’s something […]
Of parents and children
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to observe different sets of parents and their young children in my condo and at the supermarkets on weekends. Even just those few short moments of observation can say so much about their families. Sometimes I really wonder what adults are thinking when they interact with […]
Bride-to-be
A smiling En reflected in the keepsake box Weizhen bought her It was a double-bridal shower today for Enling & Xiuhui who are getting married on October 15 and October 20 respectively. It was a small, intimate gathering of girls: lazy chit-chat over chocolate fondue and Tim Tam Slams. :) As Jingshen had whipped out […]
I never log into Facebook unless I have a friend request to confirm. Usually, I find it a bit of a hassle, and a bit unnecessary since I hardly spend time on facebook anyway. But when some long-lost acquaintance/friend/ex-schoolmate/cousin etc sends me a message, it just seems rude not to respond. :P Still, sometimes I […]
For Jing & Sherry
St. Mary of the Angels celebrated St. Francis’ Feast Day yesterday with an animal-themed fair (because of St. Francis’ love for all creatures). There was a cow milking station, pony rides for the kids, hamster races, pet-grooming stations, pet combo meals, a dog obedience show, a pet fashion show etc etc. I’m not particularly partial […]
Cousins
They get more interesting as they age. Maybe it’s because now that we’re all adults, we have more to talk about with each other. Maybe it’s just because we’re ready to talk. Growing up, my paternal cousins and I were never close. They grew up playing with gongfu fighting, Nintendo and Sega games, none of […]
Grateful
Sometimes, one person can make all the difference. I’ve been in a quandary work-wise for a while. It’s a long story which I won’t go into detail here. But suffice to say that after having come so far in my thesis proposal, I’ve learned that the topic is not quite feasible. Why? Mainly because there […]
Ann-atom-y
This just in from Toronto. I’ve heard from my roving pigeon-hating reporter in Toronto that a certain legally-inclined friend of mine decided to call me an atom. Why? Because I’ve got an eclectic cluster of “electron” friends! Thank you, Monsieur, for the amusing and flattering analogy. But the real reason why I wanted to make […]
What do you do?
What do you do when someone dear to you is set to take an action that you really believe is bad for her? What do you do when you can’t help but feel that someone you love is not really happy, and will not really be happy? What do you do when you see things […]
