This is my program’s latest advertisment post-card. I thought it’s pretty cool. *grin* For those unfamiliar with the philosophical reference, Socrates was described as a gadfly. I’m too tired and short of time now to give a more detailed elaboration, so you can check out wikipedia’s explanation of the term here. Seriously though, one doesn’t […]

A Different Snore
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 […]
Different
It happened. Today, my mom and I broke our ‘agreement’ to not chat at length except in the evening. From the moment we woke up we started talking… and though I went to OISE to meet my supervisor (and my mom went too to say hi), the rest of the day was spent with my […]
L. A. Trip Photos
Photos are up! Disney characters, Lego Darth Vader, Californian Palm Trees and more… L.A. Trip Photo Album
Wanting's Shiatsu Dream
When we were in Ithaca, my housemates and I went to BedBath & Beyond. After browsing the store a while, we came across Melissa blissfully trying out a massage chair type thing. It was amazing. I was sorely tempted to purchase one. And so was Wanting. The two of us have been each other’s massage […]
Google-Me
August 24th, 2002. That was the date for UTBound 2002 at The Oaks Grill in Singapore. Last night, Zibin was bored and googled his own name, and then mine. And he informed me that if I limited the results for ‘Ann Yeong’ to images, I would see a photo of me and John. Turns out, […]
Back from The City of Angels
I was just finishing up a post on my L.A. trip when the power in my room tripped. Lost all of it *sniff*. And am too tired to type it all again! Grandma was in very good spirits and recovering quite well. Highlight was catching up with my cousin Jackie, and playing Disney’s Trivial Pursuit […]
Unpredictable Life
Well. Who would have thought that in a span of just over a month, I would leave Canada three times? And all to the U.S.A. some more. Life’s unpredictable, isn’t it. The reason I’m flying to L.A. today is mainly because it was my Grandmother’s 80th birthday (lunar) two days ago. A grand birthday bash […]
Grateful
I’m tired beyond belief. Physically, mostly. Cumulative. Too much travelling and errand-running… not enough rest. The last few days were in particular packed and exhausting. It has also been emotionally trying. And I had every opportunity to put into practice a lot of the new insights that I’ve been learning through my reading and reflection. […]
"Illusion and Reality"
The following is an excerpt from my favourite book by Henri Nouwen. This is one of my favourite sections because I find it so true. Besides, it reminds me when I get bogged down by heavy-heartedness that I am ultimately the root of my sorrow and fear. *********** The greatest obstacle to our entering into […]
