Mister Toto has been sick for a few days. At first, we thought he is just suffering from a bout of diarrhoea on Sunday. However, for the past days, he has been waking us up from slumber to let him out to the garden to defaecate. This is rather unusual, judging from the fact that he will rather lounge and sleep the night away ( Read more... )

For the last 4 months, I wore at least 3 layers to sleep. I tucked myself under two blankets and a quilt. I ensured my feet were warmed by woolly socks.

Tonight, I am wearing a mere t-shirt and shorts. I have no blankets nor comforter. I am sockless. My air-conditioner is blasting at 20 degree celsius. Yet, I am feeling so blardy warm!

Welcome home ( Read more... )

Yay, I survived a 6-hour roadtrip to Los Angeles! Hmm, but my friend got pulled over by a cop though. :( The policeman even said he wanted to mobilized units to come after us because we were so engrossed in our conversations we failed to see the loud spiralling lights of the patrol car ( Read more... )

Finally, I am connected to T-mobile Wi-fi in a Starbucks cafe in Las Vegas. The registration process is really a pain in the ass. Took me about an hour to get connected because I have totally forgotten my login name and password I have registered in New York last year. GRRRR.

Las Vegas - The City of Sins. Well, I have probably committed Sloth, ( Read more... )

Muhaha. I am back online again. My roommate needs to check her emails for interview opportunities at the conference so we are extending another day of the freaking-exhorbitant internet access. No pictures, though, since I have not brought my camera cable with me. Hmmm.

Anyhoo, last night, my roommate and I transversed along the Strip once more, ( Read more... )

Las Vegas is really a colorful bunchalliance of every major significant place in the world, emulating the Effiel Tower in Paris, the Romian architecture, the Venetian atmosphere or even the lush tropical rainforests. Each hotel revolves around a particular theme, and each hotel is equipped with a thriving casinoes. In fact, all the casinoes look so ( Read more... )

I woke up bright and early this morning, before the light of dawn, to get ready for my flight to Las Vegas. As I dragged my lugguage towards the BART station, I silently cursed Samsonite for not making bigger and quieter lugguage wheels. I was half-frustrated at the miniscule revolutions the lugguage wheels are making, half worried that the din the ( Read more... )

I have held the phone between my neck and my cheek for too long and I think my neck has now acquired a permanent tilt. Grr.

So, I bought tickets from Expedia to Las Vegas for my conference. My China schoolmate from NUS, who will be sharing the room with me, suggested travelling around Las Vegas for one day before going back. To my dismay, she ( Read more... )

I was relating the tales of my house's power loss to my unsympathetic neighbor on MSN who was almost gloating, providing snide, smart-aleck remarks about my misfortunes. Tsk tsk.  Then he learnt about my nasty spill, grew a teeny-weeny bit more sympathetic, and offered to pay his debt of a home-cooked meal (for losing to me at Literati) for dinner ( Read more... )
