As my colleagues will attest, I am totally anal when it comes to my table at work (and the table belonging to a former colleague – just once!). Everything is stacked in neat piles, unnecessary clutter is disposed of and anything that isn’t mine is returned to its rightful owner. Immediately.
I like knowing “my [...]
Because we had to wait an hour for Y’s mobile phone to be repaired, Y, J, C and I made ourselves comfortable at a nearby bubble tea place and ended up playing games to pass the time. It’s been a long time since I played bridge and even longer since I played Snakes and [...]
The first sign that all was not going to be well took place during the press conference for their new film Connected, a Hong Kong remake of the Hollywood film Cellular.
Louis Koo seemed uninterested while Barbie Hsu and director Benny Chan fielded questions, and what responses he deigned to provide were pithy one-liners liberally [...]
I’ve always reserved a special level of sensitivity and anger at being accused of something I didn’t do, but these days, I’m learning to pick my battles. Especially when I’m not even being given the opportunity to go to war in the first place. Which is a good thing.
I used to feel this awful [...]
If you only watch five minutes of this year’s Emmy Awards, this should probably be it:
Last night, I finally bought my first ever pair of running shoes – an adidas pair for RM219.90.

I didn’t want to splurge on [...]
I think it’s really sweet when someone special calls just to say hello, but that habit never caught on for Y and myself. Back when we were in a long-distance relationship, talking once or twice a week was all we were getting in, so never mind calling once or twice a day just to hear [...]
I can’t remember the last time I celebrated Lantern Festival. It must have been when I was still in primary school. I remember lighting candles along the length of our balcony with my sisters. I remember we got a little bored because it was just the three of us. I remember we never did [...]
As some of you know, Y and I had a cat when we were in Australia. We had to give him up for adoption when we moved back to Malaysia and I still get sad whenever we mention him because I’m convinced that Tommy thinks we didn’t love him anymore and that’s why we [...]
Last night at 8.30pm, a few of us lit candles in front of my house, in solidarity with those that had/have been detained under the ISA (Internal Security Act).
Earlier in the day, soon after I had woken Y up telling him, among other things, exactly what I thought about samsengs [...]
- Writer and mummy. Excited about entertainment, sports and telling other people's stories. Occasionally nerdy. I wish there were 30 hours in a day.
