You know, I don't think of myself as a very patriotic person. For example, I'm not the type to get very emotional about Dr Mahathir retiring as Prime Minister. (He left office on Friday.) But I was just thinking: he...
"Let me do the spell, I can spell, I want to spell," he babbled. She looked at her beautiful boy. Would he ever see his father again? This day of all days, the heartsickness was strong; she did not have...
I'm so excited! I'm going on a working trip to South Korea, Nov 6-10. It's my first time going so far away (I was born in England, but came back when I was 4, so I can't remember anything and...
Shaving off the edges. Sometimes I tell myself I'm just shaving off the edges, saving myself some time… it's not precisely wrong, I just want to get it over with faster. Like when it's my turn to mop the floor,...
Wow, they provide free Internet access for us here at the event venue. Coolness! First impression of the weather: it's like Genting Highlands! As the plane prepared to land, we were told that it was 10 degrees Celcius on the...
I happened to get a PC without a mouse, which means navigation is a bit problematic right now so I haven't replied any of the comments. Plus the browser's displaying everything in Korean and I don't know how to change...
*singing* He remembered meeeee... :D First thing he did this morning when he saw me was to ask how work was going. Ok, that's not exactly scintilating conversation, but it's a start ;) We spoke on and off throughout the...
I've figured out why I couldn't sleep on the flights. It's because my legs couldn't get comfortable. Now, I don't usually have leg problems. I'm only 158cm (about 5' 2") tall — err, I mean short — and most of...
Dear God, I'm writing this to You coz I might not pray otherwise. You know I've hardly said much to You over the past few weeks except all the 'token prayers' like, "Thank You Jesus for the food in Jesus'...
For a moment there, I thought I'd permanently lost my sense of humour. Granted, there's nothing funny when the mechanic tells you your car repairs will cost $1,050 if you really want to get them done. There's even less...
I've been in a blue funk lately. Tonight I felt especially sad for no particular reason. I was driving out for dinner and just felt like crying. It's not like I was listening to depressing music in the car... it...
I think I might be naïve about money. I know, I know. It sounds really weird for someone who has such issues with the thing. But someone asked me the other day, "How much would you like to be earning...
Sometimes I wish I had a more ordinary job. You know, something like being a doctor or an accountant or a computer programmer. You say, "I'm a doctor," and that's more or less the end of that line of conversation....
Would you say I'm introspective? Ganns certainly thinks so... he's awarded me the title of "Most Introspective Blog" in the Superblessed Christian Blog Awards 2003. Personally, I think he has me pegged but good :) Apparently, I was also the...
It's amazing, the people who actually find my blog. A few months before I wrote about my sleepy little hometown, I received emails from two different people. "Are you from ___________, and is your full name __________?" they wanted to...
I remember leaving for college 8 years ago. Well, I don't remember actually leaving, but I remember wanting to leave. You see, in Malaysia, you can choose to leave high school after O'levels (we call it SPM) or stay another...
Tomorrow is a public holiday — the Muslim festival celebrating the end of the holy month of Ramadan. In case you didn't know, Muslims fast every day from dawn to dusk during Ramadan, not touching a drop of water or...
Remember that if you are a princess in God's court, you are different, and your actions should match your privileged position. -- Lisa Ryan, For Such A Time As This Reminds me how I'm always vaguely ashamed to be caught...
I was going to write about something but I've forgotten what it is. That's old age, that is... Oh yeah. I was jolted awake this morning by the thought that I'd forgotten to add some details to my most recent...
Since everybody is posting about Christmas shopping, and Christmas traditions, I decided that I'd better feel sorry for myself on my own blog so that I won't need to repeat myself on every blog I visit. *grin* Dan Johnson recently...
