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 [...]
Sometime last week, I sort of lost my temper at Y while at my in-laws’. I almost never do that, and the problem with being so easygoing/reserved in general is that people tend to panic and overreact at the first sign of emotion from me. That night, they saw emotion. Believe me, if I’d really [...]
I keep a list of thoughts and topics that come to me or that I might want to explore later on in my writing, and one of the things that’s been sitting there for quite a long time is this phrase, “Some things cannot be unsaid.”
I’m not going to share the incident that prompted [...]
I turned 27 last week. It feels the same as when I was 26, not that I was expecting it to be any different. When I turned 21, I said it was probably going to be my last “big” birthday celebration until I turn 70 because after 21, the years just seem to blend into [...]
I know some women who do, but Y says men generally do not have the same concern. Why should they, he says, they can be 40 and still date a girl in her 20s. Age is not a factor. In fact, for some women, the older a man is, the more attractive he becomes. So [...]
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 [...]
For the first time ever, I had a lunch appointment for work where we said grace before we ate. It was a follow-up meeting to a wedding story that I was doing, but we didn’t talk about the wedding. Instead, we talked about church, Christianity, travel, politics, work… It was one of the best conversations [...]
I finally turned down my second job offer – Cinema Online – two days ago. Trust me, I agonized long and hard over this one. But I decided against it and so I’m going for another interview tomorrow. More details when I find out exactly what the position I’m being considered for [...]
I am crazy.

My assignment count is down to 3 from 5. Good job, you think? No, because I realize I have exactly 2 weeks and 1 day left. I guess technically you could consider it 2.5 though, because one of them has actually been written, but needs a little revamping. And [...]
Does anyone know whether character traits are the result of nature or nurture? Like, is a child generous because her father is generous and the trait has been passed down, or is she generous because she has learnt to be from observation of her father? Are character traits like hair loss genes, color blindness, [...]
