My neighbour's adopted cat, which my mum calls "FatFat" for obvious reasons. She's the fat cat with an attitude who sometimes hangs around outside my home. Always gives me the "can't be bothered with you" look. She used to run away when I tried to take pics of her... these days, she's so lazy that she couldn't care less.

Company excursion to Pulau Semakau today... one of NEA's Clean and Green Singapore campaign activities. Pretty nice place... quite scenic although there's nothing much there. My committee previously wanted to organise a reef walk at Semakau, but it was rather expensive, about $25 per person, mainly due to the cost of boat rental. Today's trip was ( Read more... )

The joystick of my K800i hasn't been responsive for a month or so, especially for the "up" and "right" directions... quite frustrating... I assumed it was spoilt coz of my vigourous playing of the tennis game. was contemplating whether to bring it to the SE service centre (but it's out of warranty) or to get a new phone. just now, I decided to ( Read more... )

My first time ever getting stepped on by a high heel, and the momentary sharp pain is one of a kind. After the shock wore off, the nagging pain continued and I was rather concerned ( Read more... )

Time sure flies... it has been 10 years since Princess Diana passed away... I remember I was in JC 2 and preparing for year-end exams, but still followed the tv reports on her death closely. I remember the sea of flowers laid by mourners outside buckingham palace, and the mourners that lined the route which the hearse took for miles, throwing white ( Read more... )

Karaoke with colleagues last nite.... discovered that one of them is actually quite a good singer... I like his voice. but I think I prefer karaoke with mindy and gang... perhaps it's coz we like similar genre of songs. tried out 3 songs I learnt recently... 菊花台, 北极星的眼泪 and I Believe. anyway, here's a snippet of me singing one of my favourite ( Read more... )

Got off the bus and saw that there were lighted candles on both sides of the footpath along a 50m stretch of road in the neighbourhood. So weird... I know it's the 7th month, but what's the significance of this?

It was super crowded at the JE MRT station platform AGAIN. Think this is the 3rd or 4th time this year... probably the trains on the East West line were delayed or something, and the North South line trains continued to dump people onto the platform. I managed to get on the 3rd train today, which is not too bad. There was once I had to wait till ( Read more... )
