I was going back home from work this evening, and I decided to have my dinner somewhere around Harbour Front. Looking at the shining new building that is Harbour Front Center today brought back memories, to a time when I was still a student, or a couple of years back when I visited some business [...]
This afternoon, a colleague and I decided to have our lunch in Orchard (Picnic at Scotts) and took a cab back to office. The taxi driver put up a sign that said “Clementi”, which was close to where our project office is, and thus we hopped on.

An ex-colleague and friend wrote a book, while she was in the United States for more than a year (I figured). I was rather excited that a friend of mine had actually written a book and gotten it published. She had previously told me the name of her book, and that it was on the [...]
