He says: Which magazine do you think has the best writing?
I say: I think Time magazine is one of the best.
He says: Okay, so every morning when you wake up, you have to think, ‘Today I’m going to write as well as Time magazine does.’
I say: If I can do that, I [...]
An elderly man almost got mugged in front of my office a couple of days ago. He’s like the fourth or fifth snatch theft (almost) victim we’ve had on our street in the last year. Two guys on a motorbike pulled a knife on him and demanded his mobile phone. It was around 7.30pm and [...]
I blog from the guest room, having been unceremoniously downgraded because hubby has taken ill with viral fever. The doctor says it could even be dengue or measles, the latter of which would mean hubby is contagious.
I feel as if I have a headache but I don’t know if it’s just my mind playing [...]
I’ve been wanting a massage since doing the 10km in December, but didn’t actually get round to it until last Friday. It was much-needed. Perhaps even I didn’t realise how much. You see, at the beginning of this year, I said I wanted to challenge myself. Even as I thought it, a little voice [...]
Yesterday night, on a whim, Bec, Josh and I ditched our plans for a movie and went to a fish spa after dinner. It was my first time, Josh’s too, but looking at Bec you’d think it was her first. She makes this really weird high-pitched sound into her towel when she first puts [...]
Apparently this year’s crowds were significantly smaller than last year’s. Y and I wouldn’t know because this was the first time we’d taken the trouble to rise early on a Saturday morning and head down to PWTC. At 9.45am, there was already a whole heap of people queuing for their admission tickets. If this [...]
SPM results were released yesterday and I’ve been hearing all these horror stories that make me question if our next generation of teens are ruined. Mother-in-law told me about neighbourhood kids who cried their eyes out because they’d scored 10A1s and 1A2, about parents who put their children down in public because they’d scored “only [...]
Him: You always destroy everything of mine that you use.
Me: That’s not fair! Name one thing I’ve destroyed.
Him: …
Me: Go on! Name one thing.
Him: If you had driven my car and gotten into an accident, you would have destroyed my car.
Me: ??!!
This would be even funnier if I hadn’t [...]
Since getting home at 4am Saturday morning, I have spent the following 37.5 hours resolutely at home, save for the 2 hours I spent eating out last night. It’s a 3-day weekend and I’d had big hopes for a great couple days with hubby, who I’ve really hardly spent time with in the last few [...]
I parked in a disabled parking lot two days ago, the first time ever that I’ve resorted to doing that. Someone later came up to me and said, ‘I don’t think you should park there,’ and walked away before I even had a chance to look at him, but I’m not offended – I’ve often [...]
HEY THERE
Sophia is a writer and a mum. She is passionate about entertainment, sports and telling a good story. She is occasionally nerdy. This is where she talks a little bit about work, but mostly about her path to supermum-hood. Or so she likes to imagine.TWEETS
