WinsomeOne hit the nail on the head yesterday when he commented that many of my struggles stem from constantly being torn between two things: the is and the should. Basically, what I am / want to do and what I...
I visited Tabernacle of David yesterday morning. Yes, I actually went to church -- mainly coz I needed to pass something to WinsomeOne, who would be flying back to the US together with his family later that night. Towards the...
Have been having so many good conversations with friends lately, they're all swirling around in my head. This evening I was telling Mel how I used to have my life so together. Unfortunately, I was also a self-righteous arrogant know-it-all...
Being in journalism certainly gives one some different perspectives. I realised that whilst watching the World Cup matches recently. Yes, while I passed through the last World Cup in a blissful, uncaring daze, this time I actually watched 2.5 matches!...
I was talking to someone yesterday when I realised that I used to have a very clear idea of who God is & what He is like... back in my teens. It was only when I was in university that...
It's 5:30am and I just got back from watching the FIFA World Cup final. Yes, I also cannot believe I actually did that!...
Chen May, Blink's fiancée, was talking with me the other day and asked me if I'd ever considered getting together with one of our mutual friends. I told her no, because the guy is too 'intense'. Actually, what I meant...
The devastating truth is that I don't like who I am. It's a hard thing to admit to myself, let alone the whole wide world. But there you have it. Yesterday I was in the midst of writing something else...
Watching Superman was nostalgic. I still remember they used to show the old Superman movies on tv every year. This was back in the late 1980s, when the law prohibiting cigarette company advertisements wasn't so strict yet, so once a...
I tell you ah, I so sui wan today (unlucky). I was on my way to church service this morning -- very VERY late, I might add -- when a lady drove past me, honking and gesturing at my car....
I feel like I'm losing my friends. By next month, three of my long-time housemates will have moved out this year after accepting job opportunities elsewhere. Two other friends will be moving away soon, as well. Lady Snoflek left for...
Another piece of the puzzle fell into place the other day. I was always very fanatical about my privacy when I was growing up, which is why Dad was so incredulous when he heard about this blog. Me, tell the...
Went to KFC for dinner & there was a guy standing outside handing out flyers. A glance at the flyer showed it was for a church event. "I'm a Christian," I said, handing the flyer back to him. (Implication being:...
My housemate Emmy said my driving is getting more ganas (aggressive). I think it's probably a reflection of my current mental & emotional state. Driving is my way of exerting control. There are so many things in life I can't...
This morning I had the terrible bad luck of not being able to get hold of ANYBODY I tried to call on the phone. As a journalist I sometimes used to feel that half of my life was spent on...
Yes yes. This blog is not dead. Neither am I. It's just that... suddenly my world has turned very grey. I don't know how it happened or why it has happened. I don't know how I got here, and I...
I was involved in some delicate negotiations recently. And came to the conclusion that I'm totally in the wrong profession. I should've joined the diplomatic service. This is not the first time, either. "Why don't you just say 'to heck...
I'm so bloody tired. And I don't know why. I was in Fraser's Hill over the past few days, at a camp / retreat thingy organised by the NGO I work for. I was sooooooooo tired throughout the retreat, I...
