A New World by Amit Chaudhuri
Picked up this book from the library. It's a book full of detailed illustrations - not in pictures, but in artfully crafted prose that coaxes not just the scene but also the ambience from the mind's eye. There is no unravelling plot - everything ...

How I slacked my time-out away
I had grand plans for the short time-out from school/work. Wanted to visit Kusu Island. Poor ol' me - in all my 32 years of life, I have yet to step foot on that island! Fancied a late-night walkaround in the Pasir Panjang area. Hoped to sw...

Zachary Turns Two!
Late post. The clan celebrated Zachary's birthday on Monday, with a yummilicious chocolate cake lovingly chosen for him by his big bro Brandon. Brandon was clearly very excited about Zachary's birthday. His mum recounted how kancheong (anxious) h...

Zachary's Little Misadventure
Our younger nephew, Zachary, sustained a hairline fracture in his elbow this afternoon! We came home to the sight of him fast asleep on the sofa, elbow in plaster cast, bandages and all. While it is heartwrenching that the little guy, usually a...

"名"言以对
A 老同学告诉我, 和B 老同学谈到我的近况时, B 为我感到"不值", 因为求学时代的我, 表现还算是不错的, 如今的成就 (我想他是指在事业上) 不应只是如此。 谢谢你们的抬举。不过，我也只能"名"言以对： 人各有志，我志不在此，我向往的是平淡。 况且，小时了了，大未必佳：我是个典型的例子。说实在的，我也认为自己没什么出奇的，普通得可以。 是真的，不是气话。

我.考.完.试.了!!!
真的考完了。完成所有的科目了。心情有点矛盾 --- 有喜悦，如释重负；也有失落，若有所失。 交上最后一份考卷后，偷偷地用手机拍了几张照片，让在考场的那一幕，化为永恒。（“偷偷”- 因为考场里是不能使用手机的。） 走出考场时，我问同学，看到我头上的隐形方帽子吗？*用手在头顶上划出方帽子的形状* :D

没礼貌!
昨天, 我赏了我的"冰点冷瞪眼儿" 给几个陌生人, 用眼神告诉他们, "你们很没礼貌!" "没礼貌大奖"的幸运得主如下: 在我正在过斑马线时, 无视我的存在而继续行驶的货车司机. 你的"没礼貌" 指数很棒喔, 不但没把车子停下来,连减一减车速, 也省了. 在文礼地铁站赶着投胎的朋友们. 乘客还没下车, 车箱是挤得满满的. 你们堵住出口,我们下不了车,你也是上不了车的! 赏你们"没礼貌兼没逻辑大奖". @##***!!! (奇怪, 怎么都和交通有关...)

Of School and Sentimentality
A fortnight ago, my nephew Brandon asked me what my school was like. You see, to the boy, school is something we have in common, and while I have been to his school on one occasion, he most certainly hasn't been to NTU. So last week, knowing that...

Now listening to: 神木与瞳《草戒指》
Feeling festive!
I'm sooooo supposed to be revising for my exams. But it looks like my brain and my eyes have ideas of their own. Obstinate Madam Brain insists on sorting out the christmas shopping list before she would let me go back to my books. So she sends h...
