Yiiikes, I thought I'll have time to update after October the 17th but I guess I didn't!If you didn't know, in Sept, I'd queued a whole lot up for scheduled publishing over a few weeks. So I come back now and find that there are no more posts that wi...
Don't Take It Personally But...
Today I am reminded of the importance of the 'personal approach'. Oh yes, it means, write a blog post like you're writing to your buddy-buddies. So.. come come, do settle down here on the couch with me, and let's get comfy,shall we.Firstly I would li...
Filipino Dreaming
I've been thinking too much about the Philippines and the goings-on over there lately. Should I go, should I not go, should I go, should I not go... some nights I could almost hear the biggest hunk of lechon calling me all the way from the wedding in...
Gifted
When I woke up one morning to see my twin nephews Dennis and Nigel in the Sunday papers, being the first Singaporeans in the Vienna Boys Choir, I went... pfft, so what. Nigel (he's the younger twin) has been entertaining our family since he was five....
Flying Time
How time flies. Now slightly over 6 months in this new job, and it still seemed like I haven't worked a day since skipping er... hurrying out from that office with a view at the end of August last year.Hurrying, yes, because I couldn't wait to leave ...

Yes, I was just there five weeks ago. Had a great time. And I wasn't scheduled to go again till March 2009, but one thing led to another, and by Christmas time, I was asked to go on another visit.Looking forward to travelling with Lisa. I don't think...
Trip At Shocked Notice
I do not like trips at short notice. (Annie, do you hear that!!) I am a fairly organized person, and I like everything fairly neat and tidy and preferably at my fingertips in my laptop.I like to have a week to pack. And have time to go shopping for n...
Why I Am Singaporean
I found on the front page of the newspapers this morning this one huge word - WOW! Wow, did they finally run out of ideas for a good headline because I think I can do that too - just stick one-worded WOW! or HEY! on the front page. Well, it was eye-c...
Back From Another Trip
We make four trips to Cambodia each year. This one I just came back from two days ago was my second one for 2008. My eighth in total, since Sept 2001. Eeps, that's a lot of trips to the same country, eh. Well, not really, no. Every trip is different,...
Disasters And Blessings
Living in a really, really safe country like Singapore, naturally sheltered from disasters, a lot of us can only imagine what it's like to go through, and survive, horrific things such as the recent cyclone which ravaged Myanmar, and the earthquake w...
Visa Or No Visa
A couple of weeks ago there was a big hoo-ha in my office and everyone forgot to work for a while - one of my colleagues was preparing for a business trip to China and she received conflicting advice; someone said, You don't need a visa because your ...
Lost
My eyes nearly fell out of my head on Friday when I read in My Paper (the English first half of it) that 42 million bags were lost at airports around the world each year and never found, and about how thousands of lost bags were auctioned off. Lost. ...
One Year (And A Few Days) Old
I am so bad at remembering birthdays. In fact, I make a conscious effort not to remember any, especially my own. All my Filipino brethren and friends, who are so good at remembering birthdays, probably won’t understand this, cos they’ll even SMS ...
