During my more recent wanderings on the World Wide Web, I chanced upon a site which led to another site which led to… this:
If you can’t get over that first bit, you should stop reading now.
For the rest of you, you have to admit it’s quite a noble effort [...]
I still can’t quite believe that you are gone. I know I wrote two pieces on you today for work, but those photos we ran of you make me feel as if you are still very much alive.
The industry, the country, is mourning. I don’t know if you realise how many lives you have [...]
As quickly and quietly as I could manage on my shaky legs, I walked to the gate and unlatched it. If the dogs come now I’m done for, I thought. The only thing in more trouble than a prisoner is a prisoner caught trying to escape. I swung the gate open quickly, squeezed through and [...]
The dogs came charging around the corner, headed straight for me. I instinctively turned to the nearest wall, hoping with all my heart that they’d been well fed that day. I think I would have screamed if I hadn’t been so busy trying not to panic.
The Rottweiler jumped up onto his hind legs, landed [...]
“But why?” she’d whine at me a thousand times. “Why don’t you like animals?” To which I’d have to patiently explain – yet again – that it’s not that I don’t like animals. I generally have nothing against them, and I do like the really cute ones. It’s just that I could very well live [...]
[Reading my past work usually makes me cringe, especially if they - like this piece - were written while I was still a wee writing student in university. But 'Three Dogs, a Frog and Two Bears' is special to me for several reasons and that is why I have kept it till this day.
One: [...]
The last time I was at KLCC was… I don’t remember when, and suddenly I’ve been there twice in two days. For work. Although I also had fun.
The first was the Nike Manchester United press conference on Friday. I’m no football fanatic – my allegiances usually lie with the better-looking team although I also [...]
If you think Chad looks red now, you should have seen him after he ate French bread drowned in Tabasco sauce and smeared with mustard, among other things. Happy birthday, Chad! You are still one of the nicest guys I know, even though I now place Mother Teresa above you because I don’t think [...]
It struck me the other evening, while I was driving home from work, that Y and I grade the world using totally different scales. It sounds kind of silly now I type it out, that I only realise this four years into our marriage, but even though I knew we were very different, I’d never [...]
This is my cousin, Alvin. We call him Momo. Technically he’s Y’s cousin but you know, same thing. He’s one of the sweetest 12-year-olds ever. I don’t know many 12-year-olds but all two of them I know are absolute angels. Momo loves our dog, Moses. He wanted a photo with Moses and asked me [...]
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
