As the year 2008 draws to a close and we welcome in 2009, I cannot help but reflect upon the events that happened in the past year. I started on a project in Jakarta, Indonesia in January – a first for me, and left the comfort of Singapore for the rather foreign land. It was [...]
This is the second time that I have been to Ken Japanese Noodle House, for a dosage of Ken’s delicious ramen. For a very reasonable price, Ken throws in a generous handful of char siew in the ramen. I usually like my ramen with an egg, and Ken makes them just right.
Situated right beside Cuppage [...]
December is usually an interesting time to walk down Orchard Road. The Christmas lightings give a seasonal feel and brighten up an otherwise normal-looking shopping area.
I was meeting an Indonesian friend whom I had worked with on the previous project, a couple of months back. Michel (yes, not a very Indonesian name) briefly bunked over [...]
What is Christmas without friends around you? So Warden and I invited some of our friends over for a potluck lunch today. I was too lazy to wake up for a jog in the morning, and thus ended up waking up really late. After a quick breakfast, Warden and I started the tasks of tidying [...]
It has been quite a long while since I had such a busy time at work before Christmas Eve. Who would have predicted the extent of the decay in the financial systems of the world? The current economic slowdown has yet to rear its ugliest head, and already the casualties of this war has included [...]

When I first picked up the book, it read more like a literature piece such as the well-known To Kill a Mocking Bird. John [...]
My Warden sent me a link from YouTube which she found pretty amusing. I found it quite entertaining really, so here it is.
I think I would have freaked out if my own mom had sang me this song
Actually I very much prefer this other “Mom song” – called Stacy’s Mom.
LOL
I have a thing for mysteries in recent months, and after reading three books by James Patterson, I needed fresh perspectives from a different author. If nothing just for comparison sake. When the Bough Breaks by Jonathan Kellerman is the first of his Dr. Alex Delaware series. That was the first thing that hits me [...]
After our jog this morning, my Warden and I went to the nearby Koufu food court for our breakfast. It was still early and the place was relatively quiet. It was perfect for some prata, and after collecting our order of 2 egg and 2 onion pratas, we sat down to have our breakfast, sipping [...]
