Wishing for a netbook

I don’t have computer table so I have to always put my laptop on my lap each time I use it. My laptop has been with me for almost three years so this could be the reason why it heats up so fast. I may need to buy a laptop cooler in the […]

While browsing through my photos, I saw this…
I think this was the last ramen set meal I ate before I bid sayonara to Japan. I am not really crazy over ramen. I only crave for it during cold season and almost avoid it during summer. But looking at it now, I hope I […]

I truly enjoy working at the current company. I am pretty sure it shows - a colleague even remarked that I am always smiling and that I have gained weight! I will not talk about dieting in this article. It is just that working at the current company made me realize something. […]

Warning: If you are eating, then please stop reading this article.
If you don’t intend to bring your “leftover” in the toilet bowl home,
then please FLUSH it away”. This is just one of the reminders posted at the door of the company’s toilet. But I think they should plaster it all over the place! […]
Dinner & Dance (D&D) 2009

Two weeks after I joined my current company, I received an email regarding the annual dinner and dance. At that time, I thought of not joining the party but everyone confirmed their attendance, so I said yes, too. There was a problem though. The theme was, “A Blast From The Past”! We […]

There’s a major deadline in June so for the past few weeks, I have been working overtime. But for some reasons, I don’t feel as stressed as I was in Japan. Because of this, I think I may need the help of effective diet pills in the near future. I just sent […]

May 18, 2008. I was ecstatic about Shaynna’s first trip to Bohol. She went with my parents and my sister. That day, I constantly called them and little did I know that later that day, I would hear the most devastating news in my entire life.
My family arrived in Bohol in the morning […]
Island-wide sale

Singapore is known for its annual island-wide sale. It happens in June and as early as this month, so if you easily give in to these temptations, you would be broke before June! For those gadget-lovers, my housemate told me that they are having a great IT sale at Suntec City Mall. […]

My bedroom here in Singapore is a lot bigger than my room in Japan. Good thing it already has a bed, a side table, and an airconditioning system. It was a little bit bare when I arrived. Curtains are not provided so, during my first week here, I basically had to hide […]

I was running late for work so I took a taxi. I am bad at giving directions but still, I am worse at understanding the English accent here. When the driver asked me where to go, it took quite some time to get my message through.
As we were approaching the industrial park, he asked […]
Bye bye, chewing gum
Posted on May 13, 2009 - Filed Under Singapore | 2 Comments
These things keep me awake in the office: coffee, frequent trips to the toilet, and chewing gum! Also, it keeps my breath constantly fresh. My favorite is Clorets Ice (the blue one). Clorets was always on my list when taking a trip to the supermarket. I even brought a few packs when […]

I have many college batchmates and former colleagues who have been working here. And the most common change in them: they sure did gain some weight. “Singapore can make you fat”. I’ve heard this a dozen of times. Without a doubt, it is because of the food. At food courts which […]

Transferring to a new company sure do presents tons of challenges. And one of them is to mingle with officemates. I admit I got scared but excited about being in a multi-cultural work environment. And multi-cultural it is. I have officemates who are Singapore locals, some are from China, Myanmar, France, […]

No matter how hard you look at the picture, you cannot see how special they are. Inside, you could only find four 1-Peso and one 5-Peso coins, just a total of 9 Pesos (about 40 cents). But to my little Shaynna, that meant a lot more.When she was still 3 years old, Shaynna already knew […]
