It has been 4 hectic yet relaxing days in Indonesia. Hectic because our schedules were packed each and every day practically from 6a.m. to 9p.m. But it was relaxing because of the change of scenery, pace and company… particularly for my mother. There were so many interesting things and funny anecdotes that happened, and so […]

I was in the midst of checking out the grand ballroom of Orchard Hotel with my mom and fielding calls from John and Cathy. Suddenly, an anonymous (no caller ID) call comes in. Me:“Hello?” Unknown Caller:“Hi!” Me:*hesitates while trying to place the voice* “Hi…” Unknown Caller:*even more enthusiastically*”Heh heh! HI!!!” Me:*puzzled, still unable to identify […]

Much of my time now is spent thinking/discussing/researching wedding related matters. What I didn’t expect though is to have wedding related conversations ‘during’ an MSSA committee meeting. Here are some sound bites I received this evening when I met with Li Ning, Jing Jing, Hui Xuan and Kenneth (Lai). These are not verbatim, but the […]

I’m back! Second time in a week *heh*. Have seen, heard, tasted, thought and felt a lot of things in the last two days…probably way too many things to put on my blog. But I still wish to put up some highlights. Just er… not tonight, cos I’m too tired and I have tons of […]

Ok, I had not intended this title for my first blog entry from Jakarta, but that’s exactly what I’m doing right this instant and I’m itching like crazy! Jakarta’s pretty much the same as it was 2 years ago when I was here last. Grid-lock traffic and air-pollution strikes me first :P But that’s always […]

Alright, it’s off to Indonesia for the weekend! Good food, cheap shopping, funny relatives (when I say my corniness runs in the family, it’s from my mom’s side of the family) and air pollution. *grin* Last night I asked my mom innocently, “Is there a computer and internet connection at grandma’s place?” And mom doubled […]

John came into my room, plonked himself in front of my computer and asked to view photos from January – June 2006. So we did… a walk down memory lane for me, one I was glad to take with John though, because with his commentary, anything could become funny. Here are a few random snippets […]

I haven’t checked, but I think that the last two times I’ve come back to Singapore for a visit, I’ve made at least one blog entry about my being pulled between Singapore and Toronto. Who am I to break a tradition that I started myself, right? :P *small sigh* It’s not really that funny. Maybe […]

Conversations that “Never Happened” The first two days I was back, I concussed by 7-8p.m. I found out on two separate occasions today that I had somehow held lucid conversations when I was supposedly asleep. Conversations I had no recollections of. My mom was amazed. Zibin…was even more perplexed because apparently we had quite a […]

After playing with Zonghan for a while, Yinwei and I left her place to go to town. It didn’t really matter where we were heading, really, because where the two of us are concerned, the location is just a setting for talking… doesn’t matter if we’re standing, sitting or walking. Nevertheless, there were a couple […]
