I feel so weird to be nearly 28 and in 'limbo', so to speak. My friends are all thriving in their careers or at least have an idea of where they're headed & where they'd like to be. They've already...
Sherman & I are conducting an open correspondence on the topic of "friendship". This is my response to his latest letter. Dear Sherman, Ow ow ow! Pain lah! Why you hit me? I so obediently reply your letter and you...
I think Charmaine is so brave for openly stating she wants a guy who's a virgin. I'm sure I've never actually heard any woman say that before. In this day and age, say something like that, and most people tend...
Tomorrow's date will be 06-06-06. I got this via a stranger on Yahoo Messenger last week: Everyone pray on the day of 06-06-06, just in case that day is meant for the world to end. Perhaps if we all pray...
We caught the mouse! It was sitting in the kitchen nibbling on something, so Dion snuck up on it with a box and, err, boxed it in. We slipped my cutting mat under the box, lifted the whole thing up,...
I've been called to sit for the entrance exam to the Education Ministry's teachers' training course. The exam's tomorrow morning. Blink has been called for it too. If I get through the exam, there's still the hurdle of the interview....
Viceice just left the 7,500th comment on this blog!!! Woohoo!!! It's a fitting time to celebrate four years of blogging. My actual anniversary is June 15 :) I've been doing some blog housekeeping lately and in the process ended up...
The teachers' training entrance exam went like this: "Oh my God! MATHS?!?!" "Shit! I've forgotten how to do algebra!" "Die die die... I think all the angles in a triangle are supposed to add up to 180°..." "A, B, C,...
Bob and I had a late-night yumchar (literally, 'drink tea') session yesterday. We were talking about confessing to God & repenting of the wrong things one has done. You see, I have a hard time telling God I'm sorry when...
Lately I've been feeling so bored. I sit in front of my computer and feel bored. I read blogs and feel bored. I surf the Internet and feel bored. I write emails and feel bored. I read books and feel...
It occurred to me the other day that we humans, we're always looking for ways to connect with each other. Have you ever noticed how, when you meet someone new and they tell you they work at Company ABC, and...
For personal reference -- things not to be blogged about when one's mother starts reading one's blog:Anything that would give her cause to call you up just to say, "I told you so". Rants about how your parents drive you...
Somebody asked me today, "How come you speak like a Malaysian but you don't write like a Malaysian?" Gee, I dunno. Maybe coz Manglish (Malaysian English), with its grammatical errors and all, looks & sounds so wrong when written down?...
You Are 22 Years Old 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. What Age Do You Act? (Hat tip: Sivin) Sooooooooooo wrong lah. Where I got...
There are so many things going on internally that I can't talk about here, or don't know how to talk about. I don't wanna write blah stuff any more than I want to make you read blah stuff, so... err......
My grandparents and great-grandparents were immigrants from China, people who came to Malaya (as it was then) in search of a better life. My parents grew up in hard times. Dad used to tell us stories about living in a...
I have never had a problem acknowledging that I am a Christian... except in the workplace. It's not that I'm ashamed of God; it's more like I'm ashamed of myself. Somehow saying, "I am a Christian" automatically raises the bar...
I spent this morning looking high and low for a bookmark which I definitely have somewhere but have forgotten where. It could even be in my bedroom back in my hometown, for all I know. I'm always aggravated when I...
I found the bookmark I was looking for. It was not so much the bookmark, but its message which I wanted. I needed this reminder: The Perfect Woman A woman knelt in prayer, and in anguish cried out to God:...
I discovered yesterday that I am sick of talking about church. Big churches, small churches, impersonal churches, community churches, traditional churches, charismatic churches, blah blah blah blah blah -- I am just sick of it! What is the point of...
Did anybody else see the unusual cloud formations over Damansara / Kelana Jaya area this morning? I was giving my housemate Emmy a ride to work at 7:45 when I looked up and saw this. Rows and rows of clouds...
I find myself torn between my desire for work to be meaningful & purposeful and a nagging sense that it is God who gives meaning to work, that work is perhaps not meant to have any intrinsic meaning in itself....
We long to find and do work that is meaningful, that makes a difference and needs to be done.—Gordon T. Smith, Courage & Calling This has been my struggle, and, I'm willing to bet, the struggle of many others. In...
Had insomnia last night. Weather's been extremely hot & humid, just couldn't sleep. Decided to sort my stuff instead for the car boot sale at the Y tomorrow. Yes, YMCA (in Brickfields) is organising a "car boot sale", meaning you...
