I was grumbling to my dad earlier that some of my friends only remembered me when they got into trouble or when they need my help.

My dad's golden words of advice: "She calls you because she considers you as a friend."Well said. Irritation vanished in an instance ( Read more... )

I'm a certified nerd.

During my visit to the library last Thu, I was overjoyed to find out about their "double-your-borrowing-limit" promotion (see, even the library isn't spared the GSS fever) and promptly carted 8 books home. I was undaunted by the fact that (1)I did not bring a carrier, and (2) it was a 20min walk home. Happily cradled the ( Read more... )

2 of my female colleagues surprised me recently with their views on their career. They told me that they had no desire to move up their career path and were perfectly happy with their current job scope. Considering the fact that they are young (one is 24, the other just hit 30), and that they are in the market-competitive leasing department, this ( Read more... )

Things I learnt in Shanghai:

1) Traffic lights are only a suggestion.
Shanghainese simply ignore traffic lights! Pedestrians cross roads at their own pace; drivers speed through red lights as if the lights are merely decorative objects. We had to look left and right twenty times before we gingerly placed one foot to the road!

2) Menus are ( Read more... )
