It’s been an amazing week. Tomorrow marks Day Six of my scriptwriting course and I’m already dreading the day it ends. I’m expecting withdrawal symptoms. We’re only just settling down and becoming really comfortable with each other, forming friendships that go beyond, “Hello, how are you?”
I’m counting down the hours till tomorrow morning.
Today [...]
I knew he was trouble the minute I laid eyes on him. He talked too much, he seemed too sure of himself, he was… well, annoying. And that was just in the first 60 seconds.
A couple of hours later, I was standing at the doorway when he looked up from a conversation he was [...]
My first official run since I was ten years old saw me lugging my inactive bum along 6.5km of very hilly road, over 3km of which comprised a steady (and seemingly endless) uphill slog. I am now 26 years old, so that’s how long it’s been since I last tried to look cool with a [...]

I’m running late and Y’s car is blocking mine in our driveway. If I didn’t have a full day of running-around planned, I’d take the manual to work. Instead, I move his car to the visitor carpark so I can take mine out.

Five-minute pit stop at the office to pick [...]
My brother may not be able to get into Science stream for his last two years of high school and my mother is hugely upset. She won’t admit it, but I suspect she secretly resents the fact that my sister and I opted for Arts (read: a non-medical career).
My youngest sister became the first [...]
Eight girls and a guy decided they would make a road trip to Gopeng, Perak, for some adventure. So we drove a 400km round trip, went white water rafting, jungle trekked with a torch in pitch darkness and played paintball, all in just over 36 hours. Here is the evidence (thanks MA and Wawa for [...]
Y and I were up 7.30 yesterday morning to attend the wedding of one of my childhood friends. I’d probably only seen Jo twice since I was 16 – my wedding ceremony, and my wedding dinner. But we’d kept in touch via MSN and that most glorious of creations, Facebook. Now it was her [...]
Yesterday, MA brought these tiny hamsters to the office. They were going to be our mascots and we were going to name them “hot” and “HELLO!”. Actually, we did. A bunch of them went out during lunch to buy a proper hamster cage and wood shavings because the hamsters were living in a mini [...]
To one of the coolest, nicest persons I know, have a very happy “Forever 21″. This photo, captured on my mobile phone at a random gift shop during one lunch hour, was too good not to put up on Reta’s birthday. If any of you are on Facebook, give her a lil’ poke, won’t [...]
I have managed to break one of the hardiest spectacles around – Silhouettes. Half-asleep one night, I must have taken them off and tossed them to one side. The next morning, when I finally found them between my pillow and headboard, they had been somewhat grotesquely twisted. Ever the optimist, I tried bending [...]
