It’s amazing. I mean 2011 is – by far – one of the most amazing and life-changing year in my life! There were mildness and wildness; extreme ecstasy and devastating sadness; just totally different from all the other years I’ve lived. And these should summarise what happened: Milestones: House Moving x2 Recognition in...

It might be back-dated; but I really just want to do this! The day you left – I was sad yet happy and much disappointed. I felt for you – being one who had so many kids, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren, you had to depart us alone – with only a domestic helper by your side. It is painful, very...

I recall. Just barely a year back at work and as I unknowingly described one of my friend as a best friend, my colleague responded with the following reply: “How old are you already, still got best friend and good friend one ar?”. This got me thinking – in many ways. Does age play a part (or not) in...

How awfully terrible! It seems as though I really do not have time to sustain any form of blogging whenever I’m in back in Singapore! Even at this particular moment, I just survived my Oral Presentation Test (that accounted for 50% of a communication skills module) over the past hour! Well, at least I don’t think I...

Time flies. It’s September now – and my blogging frequency seemed to have fallen (almost) flat. For the past few years, september always seems to be one of the most hectic months in singapore. It’ll be so flooded with birthday celebrations, farewell gatherings, the extremely late catch-ups and not forgetting...

It’s been awhile since my last informal blog. After enrolling into the NIE for 3 weeks, it has finally dawned upon me (again) the significant differences between the styles of teaching in SG and UK. However, one thing I dislike so much about this place is that they never fail to mess up one’s interests with official...

Coming back from the UK to Singapore this time felt the hardest! Knowing that this might be one of the last chances I might be able to enter and exit london makes it even worse. Up to 3 years ago, I honestly pretty much detested london. It hasn’t got much to offer except the “good” weather (i liked that) and...

Although it’s been about 2 weeks since I left NYC, I realised that I’m still having a crazy obsession with the book of mormon. Regardless of the time of the day, the showtunes have always been playing in my head (partially because I’ve been listening to the soundtrack much too often anyway); and the best part...

Just as adventurous my EWTs have gone by, I decided that I put my time to good use (while waiting for my final year results) by having a series of Post Exam Trips (PETs). 1) Portugal – Lisbon After travelling alone for my europe whirlwind tour (EWT), I gave group travelling another shot with Melissa, WaiYee and WeiFeng....

Today marks the second day after my surgery @ St. Mary’s hospital. Another independent milestone marked. My first general anaesthetic surgery, where I was put to deep sleep in an attempt to remove a cluster of enlarged lymph nodes from my neck area. Weirdly, I guess I’m so inclined to being alone that I wasn’t...

** This is the longest post by far i have written in my entire LIFE! Read if you wish & if u have the time.** Final Year Research Project drawn to a conclusion on a positive note (not gonna to say anymore about the academic stuffs here, will be in the last past of this post!), and less than 24 hours after the report...

Amidst all that hype and business with my FYP dissertation (deadline: next Friday), Japanese Essay Exam (this Friday), Japanese Final Exam (Next Monday) and Japanese Oral Exam (Next Thursday), I decided to abide by my policy of “doing things I like” this academic year! As much as I know here might be heavy consequences in...
