When I woke up this morning, Mom told me she didn’t sleep well last night. She kept getting interrupted. First by a phone-call from Singapore… and then later on, by a ringing phone she couldn’t locate. Well, she thought it was a phone ringing… in vibration mode. And she went all over my room trying […]

I've been eating… WHAT?!
Ok, every now and then I wish I wasn’t SO ignorant about certain things. It started on Saturday when I went to the TCM store. Melissa wanted to know what was good to eat for beautifying the skin. During the conversation, the boss-lady mentioned é›ªè›¤è† (she pronounced it xue3 ha1 gao1). We didn’t quite get […]
"Dr. Corn and Mr. Studious"
The first week in Cornell is almost over for Zibin. He’s met his academic advisor, selected his courses, attended his first classes (even golf), and, most interestingly, he’s made quite a few new friends. He’s the new kid on the block, so to speak. And it’s entertaining to hear him describe the people he has […]
My Funny Guy
Never a day goes by that I do not feel lucky to have Zibin in my life. Sometimes, I feel the sentiment more strongly than usual. Our past few days have been packed with the tiring activities of spring cleaning and shopping for Zibin’s Cornell apartment. At every step of the way, I couldn’t help […]
A New Spectator Sport
The OPLers, along with our guests Tingfang and Keith, had cheese fondue last night after an extremely tiring day of spring cleaning the kitchen. And after the cheese was gone, a bag of marshmellows was brought out for ‘toasting’ over the 4 tea candles that had been keeping our fondue pot warm. I’m not usually […]
Deep Dark Secrets De-classified
Today during lunch I was reminded with a jolt that there was one person in this world who could, if he wanted to, blackmail me. Well, let’s just say that this person remembers things I did ages ago of which I have little recollection. John was in his story-telling element today, with Zibin, Cathy and […]
Disarming the Cheshire Cat *sigh*
Zibin and I are lucky so far in our relationship. We quarrel very infrequently. Usually, we only cross swords when we’re both in a bad mood, and with his sweet temperament, that doesn’t happen often. Earlier this morning, I was in a rather irritable mood. I could feel myself itching to pick a fight with […]
The 'Laugh-at-Ann Fest' Trilogy (III)
Ok, this story is probably the most embarrasing, at least to me. My friends love recalling this story because it illustrates my infamous er… gluttony. But I must put a disclaimer. When this incident happened, I was extremely hungry, and I had queued up very long to get my bowl of chicken hor fun. Furthermore, […]
The 'Laugh-at-Ann Fest' Trilogy (II)
Continuing on the ‘trash talk’ about me (quite literally) upon Zhen’s and En’s request, here’s another tale of me and another fast-food chain’s rubbish bin. ************ I can’t exactly remember which friends I was with this time around, but it was at the Burger King at AMK. And I think Yinwei was there. We had […]
The 'Laugh-at-Ann Fest' Trilogy (I)
Since my post on ‘Memories of Thomson Plaza‘, certain friends have been egging me on to share more er… embarrasing stories about myself. Actually, the reason that I haven’t done that is because I thought they’d be bored by them. But since there’s been a couple of dares/requests, I am happy to oblige. Besides, I […]
