A few months back, I went KTV with the newbies, and fell in love with Gary Cao's 背叛. I know... the song is quite old already, but I haven't been following mandopop for years. It's so melancholic, and Cao's voice is very soulful. I like my male singers to have rich baritone voice ala Jose Carreras/ Andre Bocelli, so someone like Cao's is an ( Read more... )

The weather has been unbelievabiy hot that the air-con is being used nearly everyday now. Thus my contribution to ozone depletion increased ten-fold in the last week. I've been hiding in the gym, library, shopping centres, and only leaving when the maniacal sun decides to rest for the day.

I had thought of having a slight tan, a change of image, ( Read more... )

I so am gonna enjoy this garden leave. Going to Raffles Place later, having lunch with soon-to-be-ex colleagues. Then its off to the gym. Will spend the rest of the day in the library, planning the itinerary (yes, I am working on it, Dave :P). Meeting Angie for our Tai Tai lunch tomorrow, then its CPF next Monday ( Read more... )

For the first time in 2 years, I actually can't wait for the weekend to be over. I tendered my resignation today, and will be serving the rest of my 1 month notice from home. What we call "garden leave". The past year under this boss has been stifling at best, and I am glad I've made it to a full 2 years before leaving. I'm not one to look back, ( Read more... )

Yiyi came back for the week, as her granny is sick. The gang met her at Margarita's at Dempsey. We had loads of Mexican food, and of course
 countless pitchers of margaritas. I am so high now. Even bought the girls a box of Marlboros. Tsk tsk. On the way back in the cab, I felt so horny that I asked the driver to turn to bugis....but we were already ( Read more... )

There are many variations on Mojito, but my personal favourite is the one I had as a welcome drink at Krabi Centara ( Read more... )

 After 2 years of telling our part-time cleaning lady not to wash my mug, the unimaginable finally happened. She is on leave for a week, and another aunite took her place. The next day, my Phantom mug appeared in the pantry, washed, and chipped! Sigh...probably a sign that my time here is up ( Read more... )

I've probably asserted many times that patience is not a virtue I have. Reiterate this again I must. If I had waited for just 1 more week, I would have made $500 more from the stock market, which would have covered the air ticket price. Plus now, due to volatility, I am against buying in to reap dividends. Food and staple prices are increasing ( Read more... )

Dolly, Sam, Adidas are down with severe food poisoning. Kimchi and I had mild symptoms. Corrine was lucky. She doesn't eat oysters. No more Glutton Square for us ( Read more... )

What can I say? Today is black Wednesday. The unhappiness at work is real. And work can sometimes be a killer ( Read more... )
