I really think that I’ll be a lot happier if I have my own old school bike to peddle around on. Without melting in the sun every time I do that. Or be dissolved by the rain.
Alright, quite a lot to ask for on a Monday morning.
Everyone knows that Monday mornings are the [...]

Almost Politics

Met up with the PS guys over the weekend for food at Geylang.
The beef hor fun is seriously good. And the dou jiang yu tiao just kind of wrapped everything up nicely
Anyway, these people are damn weird. Every time I meet them, we’ll somehow get embroiled in discussion of some politial issue or [...]

We have a regular sharing session at work which is akin to Economics/Statistics 101. Very basic stuff for the uninitiated.
M: So, can someone tell me what’s the difference between real and nominal figures?
Everyone: *silence*
Boss: Very simple what. One is real, one is bluff lor.
Everyone: HAHA!
My boss is quite funny
Heart!

Super cute right? I was thinking of which shape to represent the green light – and all I can think of is broccoli, which really isn’t very cute.
FYI, the cauliflower is actually the white broccoli. I bet you didn’t know that! LOL

I like alleyways and parked bicycles. Actually, in general, bicycles are pretty cool things

Every day, people surprise me. Sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a not so good way.
I have some colleagues whom I’m genuinely fond of. Today, I found out that one of them has been constantly [...]

There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It’s easy.
There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be [...]
Tomorrow
Posted in A taste for Melancholy, Arbeit Macht Frei, Recycled Thoughts on April 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Its been a challenging week and I feel a little frail and very much exhuasted.
One and a half years out of school and many doses of adult realities later, I am considerably more bewildered than ever about the conduct of human relationships.
Its so incredibly complex.
The g00d thing is that there is always tomorrow, which may [...]
Happy Grey Mondays

I like it when it rains on Mondays. Somehow, it makes me feel chirpier
I think I’ll feel irritatd if Monday dawns clear and sunny.
There’s a whole convoluted logic to this sentiment, which boils down to how Mondays are supposed to be dreary. You know?
So I like it when expectations are met. Still, Mondays [...]
Bright Side

Gradually, I realised that my identification with anti-establishment ideals is becoming increasingly inappropriate as 1) I approach my 25th year and 2) the dominant ideology of pragmatism in the ‘real world’ is finally convincing me, bit by bit, that I’m a whining ingrate.
To try life on the other side, I think I should highlight some [...]
The Triumph of Shoes + Warm Seats
Posted in A Girl Named Bliss, Arbeit Macht Frei, Conversations, For the Love of Shoes on February 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I spent the whole of yesterday at a conference.
I have yet to figure out the purpose of such sessions.
I was wearing my lace-up booties. A middle-aged uncle pointed them out and told me that they’re so ‘unique’.
I’m a little weird out – middle age men don’t notice shoes, right?!
But I said thank you, because its [...]
