The regular programming was interrupted because I had to attend to a family crisis. My mother went for a back operation 2 weeks ago and we are very grateful that the operation is a success. She is now discharged and recuperating at home in Singapore ( Read more... )

Years ago I would not have imagined myself attending a concert from the music of Final Fantasy or going for all the different football matches live. I suppose that's what people mean when they say you grow to become more like your spouse in terms of preference and taste as the years pass. You might even look like each other! I'm grateful for my ( Read more... )

Last year, we were at Seattle on Halloween and I remember seeing people dressing up. I did wonder what's the origin of this celebration. Hence I did a quick search and found the history ( Read more... )

Relative to the previous weekends, the one just past was a laid-back one. We spent the morning picking up fresh produce from San Mateo Farmers' Market and the Asian supermarket. I spent the rest of the day finishing up the final installment to the Harry Potter saga. I love the series especially the last book where everything is revealed. I can't ( Read more... )

Saturday was surely a happy day for Stvn as there were 2 soccer matches and one of them was between Barcelona versus Chivas. In the morning we caught G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra which I wasn't too keen on but since i lost a bet i had to comply. To my surprise it was pretty good and I'm kinda hooked! I can't wait for the sequel ( Read more... )
