At John’s invitation, 9 of us from the U of T gang got together for lunch yesterday (Yiling, Shawn, Yuandong and Yuehan…u were missed!). After lunch at a Jap place in Tiong Bahru Plaza, we adjourned to Delifrance so that people could attempt the Tim Tam Slam. Over steaming cups of cappucino and hot chocolate, […]

There are bats, then there are bats. I’d always thought Batman to be the coolest of the marvel comic superheroes because Bruce Wayne has a genuinely tortured past – not to mention being a billionaire and not actually having any super powers. And now finally, there’s a Batman movie and an actor that does justice […]

What pleasure, what joy… I experienced my first Tim Tam Slam yesterday, courtesy of Huixuan. All you chocolate lovers must absolutely try this! You haven’t known bliss until you’ve had a warm and drenched tim tam explode in molten chocolate goodness inside your mouth. You may have tried Tim Tams before, but you’ve got to […]

After 2 hrs of on and off suspense, I finally managed to get tickets for Les Miserables! Yay, will get to see Jean Valjean, Cosette, Enjolras, Marius and most of all…Eponine once again! 12 years since I last saw them… wonder if it will be as wonderful as I remembered it to be? “Do you […]

For some reason I’m not someone who is easily surprised. But I was surprised early this morning. I thought I had gone to the airport just to fetch Huixuan and her mom.

Congratulations Ann, you are… mr brown of http://www.mrbrown.com Like that ad for Toys ‘R Us, you are that kid who doesn’t want to grow up. Except you do. And now you’re just a big overgrown kid who doesn’t want grow up. You have a warped yet addictive sense of humour. It takes skills to poke […]

Yes, those are the new wall colours of CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School. *sob sob* Why?!?! I did a triple take when I was driving along Ang Mo Kio Ave 2 on my way to visit my alma mater… couldn’t believe that my beautiful school now looks like something out of a pre-schooler’s colouring book. […]

Other than one incident which pretty much marred my day, today was by any other standards a good day. 3 things stood out which made it a fun Sunday: 1) Ping-Pong: Finally had a rematch with Zibin after 4 years. The last time we played was at my aunt’s place and it wasn’t all that […]
