The End of 2013

Gone were the party days... Gone were the countdowns... Apart from having this day as the last one for the year and never to return, it passes of as just another day. If there are dinners, they can happen any other day. If there are gifts, they can be given any other day. If there are fireworks, they can happen any other day too. At this point in life, a certain understanding has come to light. A...

Busted!

It didn't last very long. In just over a year. Some say it was expected. Some say it was a wrong move. Perhaps the signs were obvious from the very start. It was all there, laid out in front. Everyone else saw them. All but me. Too blinded by pride. Too blinded by ignorance. Too soon did the issues crept up. Too little was done. Too inexperienced. But I say, it was a lesson well learned. Among...

Let It Go

Wasn't aware of the resemblance until it was pointed out. This was supposed to be just another Disney movie. Hadn't noticed it either even when I was watching it. But this particular song, when listened carefully, "It reflects you. Very much." Let it go. Run into an ice castle. Turn away. Slam the door. No fear. No rules. Leave the perfect girl.  But I'm no princess. I don't have magical...

The donkeys

Being friends is a funny thing. You managed to cling together after all the differences. Yes, there are times you have been an asshole. There are times you annoy too much. There are times you have been a total pain. There are times you have caused troubles. There are times where we wanted to scream at you. So much so that we have to put up with you. But despite it all, we still...

Hong Kong, once more

 I returned, after a good 5 years. It came most suddenly. Suddenly, there were these cravings for dim sum. Suddenly, there was this need for a break from work. Suddenly, there was this extended invitation to tag along for a short escapade. And so, in less than 3 weeks later, I found myself surrounded with the familiar sights and sounds of this buzzling island. Things...

Invisible

There are times when this felt like the perfect escape. To live in the wilderness. To live off grid. Away from the stresses of the city. Away from the hipocrites. Away from the microscopic lenses of society. Away from unnecessary burdens. Away from irrelevant worries. Away from having to explain whatever decision and action. Just me and mother nature. Doing what ever I please,...

My Coffee Art

Wasn't really much of a coffee junkie. In fact, coffee seldom crossed my mind apart from the once a week buy-one-free-one San Francisco Extreme drink series with my "San Fran" buddy back then. After leaving to work in another organization, I lost touch with my buy-one-free-one extreme latte and got introduced to this new thing called Irish latte instead. New for me that is. It...

Little Heritage House

Found another recommendation from a magazine and I wasted no time in heading over. Yet another nyonya cuisine, from Penang this time. It was their decorations that got me attracted, as usual. Turns out that the tastes were rather exquisite as well.    The owners (which I presumed them to be) are pretty warm and friendly, introducing specialty dishes and taking...

Limablas

Funny that it's spelt Limablas instead of Lima Belas. Or is this how it was spelt back in those days? Well, it's the number 15 in Malay. And it's the name of a nyonya restaurant.  Read a food review about this place in a local magazine. What caught my interest was really its interior decorations. If you don't already know, I have a thing...

The many faces of co-workers

Having worked in the commercial sector for a few years now, I've come to deduce the different personalities of those working in the same office. Some are a pain in the a**. Some are just too amusing to watch. Here are the 'must haves' of each office: 1. The MC queen   Just as the name suggests, the person takes medical leaves very often. The excuse, "I've got a genetic...
