Taken seconds before the onslaught of an awe-inspiring thunderstorm.

We were supposed to go back to St. Nicks yesterday, but found out quite last minute that the school was closed for Youth Day. And so, instead of visiting teachers, we ended up terrorizing members of the public at Suntec City instead. Why is it that some things never change with time? Ivy is still […]

As most of you know only too well, Zibin and I are both very talkative people. And when we’re with each other, unless one or both of us are reading, sleeping or working, we are almost never quiet. There is virtually only one exception. And that’s when we’re both extremely hungry. Like tonight, when we […]

I went to Nanyang Girls’ School (new campus) for the first time ever yesterday. It was their fun-fair, and we went to show support for my cousin Yimei. As soon as I walked into the crowded school, I was hit in the face by the raw, youthful sounds and energy of over a thousand children […]

We managed to settle (well almost, still need to pay […]

This evening, I attended Zibin’s promotion ceremony. It was very interesting to me for various reasons. 1. After 7 years together, this was the first time I actually came into the vicinity of his workplace. Needless to say, I had never been to Tengah Air Base where he worked previously, and this was my very […]

Unplanned…well almost. But I ended up meeting Ivy “Tomato” Toh for ice-cream today… my original ‘other half’ before Zibin came into my life. I think it was Mrs Liu (our prefect mistress) who dubbed us into halves. It started when I came to meet her once and she asked me, “Where’s your other half?” It […]
