I know we’re 2 weeks into the New Year now and it’s rather late to be posting this. But I know I have to get this done to make the jigsaw puzzle complete. 2009 was a year of transition and change. A tough but still rewarding year. I never believe in "you reap what you sow". There were times when I feel I've...
I have never ever not once in my life received so many Christmas presents. I don't do gift exchange to begin with. The most it's one or none each year. To be frank, I hate buying gifts. It's physically and mentally exhausting. I can spend hours walking back and forth several streets, in and out dozens of malls till my feet are sore...

It's been 2 months since I was really here. I've been here a couple of times over the past 2 months trying to post something but I never seem to hit the 'Publish Post' orange button. I have a number of drafts that sound like trash to me and they eventually get deleted away. I just can't pen down thoughts that have been...

Free gift: Free is redundant because all gifts are, by definition, free.ATM machine & PIN number: Similarly, 'machine' and 'number' are redundant. ATM already stands for Automated Teller Machine and PIN for Personal Identification Number. Same goes for J corporation, the organization I'm at now. I guess the last word is repeated to give people an idea of what the abbreviation/acronym is. Abbreviation...

My genuine answers to 10 frequently asked questions:1) How are you?This is the most frequently asked question which I hate answering. My response varies according to who asks and when. Most of the time, it’s just another way of saying hi so I don’t take it seriously.2) Where do you stay?Ice-breaker question. Highly likely the first question people would ask when they see...

The inevitable came and I finally crossed over to the dark side.I've been wailing non-stop about being pushed over the line by an invisible force. I never wanted to part with freedom and I dread what's to come. As I drag my feet over the line, with it comes greater responsibilities, more uncertainties, and lesser friends. As I join many others in moving...

I looked up at the rainbow of balloons and confetti coming down, landing gently on my head. I couldn't feel any joy, only sorrow and reluctance. The day I wish would never come was over. It all happened in a whirl. Except for that 10 seconds walk across the stage to get the scroll which felt like eternity. 16 years of education ended...

If not for my teacher, I would have been locked behind bars in Changi Prison and expelled from society forever. It was this teacher who guided me and brought me back to shore.I was over-protected as a child and this has cultivated a stubborn and rebellious streak in me. In school, I tried to attract the attention of my schoolmates and teachers by...
I know I'm home when I can't afford anything here. Even when it's the GSS. Don't you think it's all a scam? Those on sale are either outdated, old-fashioned apparel or second hand goods. New arrivals are hardly on sale. Even if they are, the most it's just a meagre 10% off. Which is like a dollar or two off a normal $20...
On my last day in Chengdu, I am not alone. I thought about the last time I was here, How I can't wait to get back to Beijing and leave this darn place. Despite all the negative feelings, I realised I've grown attached to this place. Its rich history and culture are enough to blow my socks off. Sometimes I can't believe I'm...
To reward ourselves for all the possible reasons we could think of, we spent the last 4 days sleeping past noon, shopping and eating! Such indulgence is a luxury for me bcos I'm a poor student in expensive Singapore. Oh yes KFC never tasted so good. On the day of the release of results, we were so nervous and had no mood to...
Upon arrival at Chengdu Airport, there were lots of people to welcome us.

We didn't like Panba so we decided to stay at Naxi Mama when we return to Lijiang from Shangrila. It's on the outskirts of the old town and we had problems finding it. We were walking up and down the street with our bags and out of nowhere, a middle-aged lanky man asked where we were going. We thought he's a tout and...
As the bus weaved its way through the mountain roads, I rocked to the beat of the music playing in my ears. How strange, for I usually find myself skipping almost every song that comes up on the player. Then I started singing aloud, totally immersed in my own world and it felt like the most enjoyable ride I ever had.I stared out...

After a longer than expected journey up to Feilaisi, we've finally come to the last destination of the entire trip. Big sigh from me, I'm running outta steam trying to post all of these. Anyway, the previous few photos you see were painstakingly taken by me as I forced myself to get out of the vehicle while trying to avoid shitting in my...
