   No more morning swims at the pool or afternoon tea in town unless I'm on leave...

   Different conversational topics with colleagues who are either married or getting married and looking for houses and wedding dresses - I've learnt that a 5-room flat costs about $20,000 more than a 4-room flat so it's a lot more worth ( Read more... )

I am proud to say that Ben and I were part of the 26,000+ people to visit the Istana over the Chinese New Year break last Tuesday! Despite initial anxieties about the snaking queues at the 2 checkpoints and the sweltering humidity of the afternoon sun, the day turned out just about perfect. It was initially humid because it was threatening to pour ( Read more... )

I can't believe I just obtained the list of bus services that ply the road outside my work place on Wikipedia. I didn't get anything from our very own SBS Transit website cause it seems they only list bus routes according to bus services, so I googled 'bus services along thomson road singapore'  and the first comprehensive entry that came up was ( Read more... )

Coming online now has become such a rarity that I usually limit my 'online activities' to checking my email. Gosh. Work's been taking up quite a lot of my time and because I spend so much time staring at the computer screen at work already, turning on the laptop after I get home really isn't most appealing.

So anyway, the CAC bunch met up on Friday ( Read more... )

John's leaving for Adelaide tonight for his studies. This trip's gonna take him away from Singapore for at least 3 years. Even though he'll be back every 6 months, you know it's just not the same as having him around every day. For one he's definitely not just a call away for ice cream late at night or hanging out on the weekends. Bleh. I'm gonna ( Read more... )

The dentist's is fast becoming my least favourite place in the world! Had a minor operation done in my mouth on Saturday to remove a part of my gum that was obstructing the growth of my wisdom tooth. The area had been feeling rather sore over the past week and my throat too was feeling kinda iffy so I thought that I'd better get it checked by my ( Read more... )

It's been one big party of feasting and festivities since the 23rd of December! But I must say that in between dining and meeting up with friends I've also managed to do a little spring cleaning before I start work... tomorrow! Cleared out some stuff from my wardrobes and shelves, got the lengths of my working pants altered so that they fit me ( Read more... )

Hmmm lots of things to write about, I don't know where to begin - my trip to Hainan with Ben and some friends from church, the trip to Perth with the family, Christmas dinner with Ben's family on the 23rd, a baptism lunch on Christmas Eve followed by dinner with my family, midnight mass at Holy Cross and a post-midnight-mass party at John's place ( Read more... )

Jack and the Beansprout was jolly good!

Ivan Heng was simply amazing in his drag role as Widow Neo, mother of Jack Neo (hurhur), who as the eponymous hero of the play has been retained several times in school already when the play begins. Lots of irony and puns in the play, many of them dirty too... I was a little apprehensive before it began as ( Read more... )
