Last Saturday, during the follow-up to the Conversion Experience Retreat (CER) I attended, I had not intended to share any testimonies because I did not have any experience I really felt needed to be shared. But when testimony time came, as the facilitator was opening the session, I suddenly felt a strong prompting in my […]

A wisp of a dream
The husband caught me off guard this morning. He was working in the study, I was making the bed in the bedroom while listening to the soundtrack of Wicked!. Only I wasn’t just listening. I was singing along at the top of my lungs and twirling and dancing around the bed. He entered the room […]
An Aquarius' food follies with the Scorpios
Scene: Today’s breakfast at IMM Jurong… dim sum at food court… Zibin had painstakingly cut up a piece of fried carrot cake for himself. I didn’t see him do it… I was talking to my mom. I take the piece of carrot cake he had cut up and pop it in my mouth. Zibin: *eyes […]
The husband 'quotes' Shakespeare
Here’s a dose of Romeo and Juliet for you from the lips of my beloved. “What’s in a name that is called a rose, when by any other shit it would have smelled as nice?” Ah me.
Swan Lake Redux
I vividly remember bringing Zibin to his first ballet, Swan Lake, back sometime in 2000 (i think). He barely managed to stay awake. I think he would have had more to comment about if he had watched Matthew Bourne’s male version of Swan Lake instead. Although I usually dislike modern re-interpretations of gold classics, Bourne’s […]
'Turn the volume down'
This morning, as usual, I was still sleeping when Zibin started getting for work. I managed to sleep through most of the usual movement noise until it seemed as if someone suddenly blared the radio. Half-asleep, I raised an arm in protest and groggily demanded, “Turn the volume down!” “Sorry darling, but I can’t control […]
My Hokkien 'education'
As I mentioned in an earlier entry, my extremely pithy understanding of Hokkien is unfortunately limited to vulgarities and a few ‘name-calling’ nouns. However, over the last week, I’ve doubled my Hokkien vocabulary (which roughly means I’ve learned half a dozen more phrases or words). Why? Because of an amusing Hokkien song that John gave […]
Once upon a time this was hip ok! *smirk*
Those of you born within a couple of years of me will definitely remember å°è™Žé˜Ÿ. They were so hot back in their heyday that even I knew a few of their songs. Thing is, I never *saw* them in action. I was showing Zibin a video clip of Rain dancing earlier. That led to Zibin […]

Do you deny your feelings?
Hubby and I had an interesting conversation after watching a drama in which the hero (for various reasons) self-denied his growing affections for the heroine. Hubby says he would never do that. If he likes, he likes. He’d admit it to himself. I asked him… but what if liking that person complicates matters? You wouldn’t […]
