It was mom’s turn at the hospital yesterday so I took the afternoon off to accompany her to TTSH.

Just last week, A introduced me to a 11-episode, TV series entitled "1 Litre no Namida (1リットルの涙?, lit. "1 Litre of Tears"; also called A Diary with Tears or A Diary of Tears ( Read more... )

Last weekend was a productive one.

Friday - TGIF! Met TJ for lunch at Raffles City. Gosh I miss the dude, though I had to pacify him for failing to meet him earlier. Fortunately, a meal was enough to win him back haha.

Saturday - I arranged to have breakfast at Killiney with Cindy, a very close colleague turned friend from 2 jobs ago. It's not ( Read more... )

Before this morning, my last post in LJ was dated 21 Nov 15. While I do refer to LJ occasionally, I hadn't found much time to post. It isn't that there was nothing to write, but more because I was rather busy. Plus I'm a slow (and fussy) writer, it led to my inactivity the past few months. (Not that many would read this anyway)

I moved to Yishun when I was in secondary 1. My childhood years were at Toa Payoh, but Yishun was where I saw (most of) my schooling days right up to adulthood.

It's been >2 months since my last entry about the dismal GE results. Life has resumed since and I've been quite unusually busy. My weekends had never been packed out but these days I actually need to check my 'calendar' before I say yes to dinners etc. This was never me. For a very long time, my weekends are loosely planned with nothing much in ( Read more... )

This year's Event Of The Year (EOTY) by kevinexx fell on 12 September, the day right after polling day for General Election 2015.

I was near to giving the party a miss, because I was honestly quite affected by the GE results. The opposition took a surprising beating, doing almost a 10% point worse than the 2011 results. Hopes for more alternative ( Read more... )

I've been with my current organisation for 8 full years - a duration most would agree is a long time. The urge to leave was strong at several points and I did action on it, only to meet with little luck in my job applications. In the 8 years I moved twice laterally, which certainly helped in freshening my perspective and giving me exposure to ( Read more... )

Tennis and Badminton are among the sports that I enjoy watching. Of the 2, I find the former much harder because you absolutely cannot play a game unless you've acquired some basic techniques. Badminton on the other hand, is easier in that you can somewhat play even if you are a complete amateur. To play it well though, is another story.
