Conclusion of the day
Tuesday, July 9, 2013
I took a day off to shop around for my hiking gear (I am so last minute it's worrying hahahaha). The end result is a 40L hiking bag (Gregory!). Yes, that's the only thing I bought after shopping the whole day. It's a little pricey after some price comparisons but it's really light weight and the quality stood out. Since having my backpack disintegrate while hiking/climbing is not a priority on my list, I decided to pay that little premium.
At least there's motivation to climb/hike more in future!...

2012
Tuesday, December 25, 2012
I'm extremely stuffed from all that Christmas food at home - so that's day 4 of my state of food coma. Will be locking myself in the gym next week man. Hahaha. Don't get me wrong, I'm still grateful for the company of all these amazing people in this festive season :) Oh yes, the food and gifts too :) Hurhur.
Amid all the eating, drinking, partying and gift receiving/giving, it's also time of the year to give thanks for all the amazing things that have taken place in the last 11 months...
A month in summary
Sunday, December 16, 2012
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of dinners, meetups, more dinners and well you get the idea. It's after all MY birthday season! Hahaha. Well everyday is supposed to a celebration anyway, isn't it ;)
It's already (gasp) December 16! 9 days to Christmas and 15 days till a brand new year. Time is jetting me by at crazy speed and I'm pretty sure it's the same for the rest of you :)
I actually have yet to do a proper update for a month! Well minus the filler posts inbetween. Hahaha. People...
Serious soft spots
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
I can resist splurging on most things in life. Except for stationery...and books. I have some serious soft spots for them, especially if the books are in Chinese and are all about self-improvement. I blame my dad for making me a geek.
The very reason why I should never be left alone in a book store. Either I'm going to bring home either some new (and in my opinion always cool) stationery or just a pile of books.
I'm already running out of space to store them.

Some sort of fetish
Wednesday, November 7, 2012
Most girls are crazy about dresses, bags, makeup and whatsnot. I have an obsession with stationeries. It usually worsen when I'm stressed out - for instance, I bought a grand total of 20 mechanical pencils during my Junior College days because band practices and overwhelming workload was driving me up the wall. ike seriously, do I need 20 mechanical pencils?! Well, no. Haha
My consulting days of living in various hotels resulted in my current drawer-ful of hotel pens and pencils. Including all...
Longest 134m ever
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
I think Google Maps is retarded. Either that or I'm retarded. Hahaha. So I was supposed to meet my ex-colleagues for dinner at Chin Chin Restaurant. Hey look, it's a really easy route. Here I am standing at a cross-road and facing the exact direction where I need to be heading. And come on, it's only 134 metres and 2 freaking minutes away:
Cross the road and walk, easy peasy right? No. Guess where I am RIGHT AFTER I crossed the road:
HAHAHAHAHA.
If you did witness a weird brown-haired...
TV days
Sunday, September 30, 2012
Found this photo in my phone and have no idea who took it and when it was taken! But I reckon it belongs to my inbetween-jobs-TV-watching days. Hahaha.
I look so freaky with my eyes all white like that. HAHA. Oh those relaxing days :)

The one from Middle East
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Colleague #1: So where else have you lived in? I mean besides Singapore.
Me: Only Beijing. For a summer internship when I was in university.
Colleague #1: You can speak mandarin?
Me: Hahahaha of course! I'm Chinese.
Colleague #1: Yeah I mean, you're mixed right. One of your parent can't be a Chinese.
Me: Both of them are..
Colleague #1: Oh! I thought you had half Middle East blood or something.
Colleague #2: See! Told you! I thought you were Eurasian. Haha!
I should seriously consider fabricating...

Because my gut said so
Friday, July 6, 2012
So I've been getting some notes from friends about an update about my job/job hunt. Hurhur so here goes.
Besides the 3 job offers I turned down previously, I shamelessly turned down another 2. Key reasons for turning down: (1) Unusually probing questions into the status of my ex-employers (2) Man we so do not click. At this point in time, I'm considered half-employed - meaning I'm hired as a Consultant for one of the dream companies that I long to work for, albeit not on a full time basis. The...
The one from Sarawak
Monday, June 18, 2012
The cute shampoo lady asked if I was from Sarawak.
"Erm what?" I replied.
"Sarawak." She said. "Singaporeans don't have big eyes like you, so I suppose you are not local."
"But why Sarawak?" I asked.
"Oh because in the context of Malaysia, most girls with big round eyes are mostly from Sarawak. Big and round, just like yours."
OH. Okay. Well that's a new on...

"I have a Thai father, but I still look more Chinese than you!"
Epic. I'm not sure what kind of feelings I'm supposed to have after hearing this.

"Are you from North India?"
Friday, May 25, 2012
Someone from Aman asked if I was from North India. I'll like to imagine she thought I looked like some rich North Indian lady who came here for leisure instead of for a work-related project.

Walking it off (or not)
Monday, April 30, 2012
As an attempt to improve my shiteous mood (for reasons I'm not allowed to talk about), I spent 3.5 hours walking from Bugis to Orchard, and back.
My mood did not improve at all.
On the bright side, I burnt much calories from the walking and skipping of dinner.

Just an update
Thursday, April 26, 2012
While ironing clothes this afternoon (I'm now my mum's trusty housemaid hurhur), I got a call from my ex-colleague from my first company. The familiar "hello homey! How have you been!?" never fails to crack me up. He called to ask how have I been and how was job hunting. Still hunting, I replied and updated him as well which stage I'm at with the top 2 companies that I'm very keen to get an offer from.
It will come, homey. It will. We are all here, right behind you, he said.Thank you for the vote...
