How my mind works

Me cooking dinner. Frying some radish cake. Impressive, no? Gastronomical equivalent of working out the law of gravity, methinks.
Well, maybe not. But anyway. Do you think I was a/ very bored? b/ having early symptomps of OCD? Or c/ just a very neat person who also happens to be good at geometry?
Or maybe d/ someone who [...]

Civilised dispute. Or lack of it.

Me (gossipingly): So this friend of mine had a fight with her boy. No, not exactly a fight, more like a little bickering over something quite trivial. Her words.
A. (innocently): Yeah? What would they want to do that for?
Me (matter-of-factly): Well, you know, couples fight. Sometimes.
A. (motioning between us with his forefinger): But we don’t fight. Hmm… actually, [...]

Hypocrite

I once knew a lady. Not too well but I reserved a certain admiration for her and what she’d achieved. One time at dinner she said, “You know, butchers & other abattoir workers must accumulate a lot of bad karma”, all the while happily tucking into her grilled pork chops (with lemongrass and a dash [...]

Student life? Bleah!

It’s official. I still hate Uni. Seven years after my B.Eng. and I still don’t like hanging around campus. Even when I only have to tackle two subjects a week. Even when classes are at night. And most importantly, even when this is something I wanted to do. No one told / forced / emotionally [...]

And so I think I’d keep him for a little longer. Ahem.

I emailed him and said, happy 6 months, hunnie. (Because of course he didn’t remember. Which he claimed is a typical male condition. Which he then pointed out that “stereotype is good when it suits your excuse.”)
And then he replied, Happy semi-versary!
I’m still a little peeved at him for being ridiculously slack at emails & phone calls. [...]

Proof that I’m no longer a teenager.

I watched Twilight last night. Yeah, finally! I’m always a little slow to this kind of things. Ok, not a little slow. VERY slow.
Anyhow, it’s interesting to see how the undead were glorified to the max and the teen market was stirred, shaken, overwhelmed. Which followed by Zac Effron getting knocked off the teenage heart-throb [...]

Asia trip ‘09 – Part 1

Random rambles in no particular order: 
-          The Great Wall really is MASSIVE! Not that I need to repeat that, everyone knows it’s the only manmade structure on earth that is visible from the moon - which is actually a myth! (Thanks Mosh.) But well, it’s still gigantic. The fact that the whole thing was built only across the [...]

Back to Reality

Here I am, slowly recovering from what has to be the most hectic 3-week trip ever. During which I moved about so much I felt like a spinning top. Whoosh! Whoosh! My brain! My brain! Rattling around in my skull like the last lolly in a tricky candy jar trying to get away from your [...]
