From the yearly archives: 2010
Continuing in my tradition of New Year’s Eve posts, I steal a few quick minutes before dinner to tap out some thoughts. I hope Kaylin stays asleep for just that little bit longer.
The year has passed all too quickly. It doesn’t feel like New Year’s Eve, although I am excited to see what 2011 [...]
It’s been a very long while. My HP laptop died one Friday morning, on a deadline day, of course, and while I managed to retrieve my hard disk and save my work, it left me without a computer for almost a week.
After we discovered that it would be better to buy a new machine [...]
Covering the ATP Malaysian Open 2010 is definitely going down as one of the highlights of my year. It’s been a pretty eventful year so far, but that’s how excited I was about interviewing Robin Soderling, Tomas Berdych, Nikolay Davydenko and Mikhail Youzhny.
Nevermind that I had to get up at 7.30am because that’s [...]
The days of fuss-free feeding are over. Kaylin has started solids. I can hardly believe it, but she’s already six months old.
One of the benefits of breastfeeding is you have no cleaning up to do. Unless a pump and expressed milk are involved, which happens only when I go in to the office, [...]
The premise is interesting enough: sometime in the future, people can buy mechanical organs for a hefty sum – no more organ donor lists – when their God-given ones fail. It’s a lifesaver, until they can’t fork out the cash for the instalments. When that happens, often in the dead of the night, the boogeyman [...]

My mother-in-law mentioned the other day that not many Chinese parents dress their babies in black, which only pleased Y [...]
The husband has been away for the last six days, scuba diving in Bali with J, another friend and a group of others. Some people are surprised that I let him go, which in turn surprises me, because I would never forbid him from going (yes, I’m one of those “I want you to want [...]
I’ll be honest: I totally did not want to celebrate Merdeka this year. I’m tired of the crap, the politicking, the beyond-ridiculous individuals, the politicking. I know I said that already but that’s how fed-up I am. I didn’t even bother to add the Malaysian flag to my Twitter profile picture like so many have, [...]
The Glee kids are awesome and all, but Tina Fey and Jon Hamm totally steal the show as far as I’m concerned. Especially Jon Hamm.
Spotted: a dragonfly and a ladybird on the same day! I was lucky to get the first picture with just my iPhone before the traffic lights turned green. And as you can tell from the second picture, I’ve been keeping my promise to walk in the garden more [...]
