All the Small Things

I'm currently enjoying the 'All the Small Things' series on BBC iPlayer (BBC One, 9:00pm Tuesdays if you're at home during that time). Light hearted, heart-warming family series featuring songs from Blink182 the "punk" band - which happens to be one of my favourites.

"I can reach any star"

I don't understand why I'm crazy about the song "Where my heart will take me", the one featured as intro to Enterprise. I've played it countless times tonight. It could be because the intro featured historical milestones in space exploration. I'm also reluctant to admit I'm getting quite hooked on that series. Maybe it's because T'Pol is so captivating.

Hmm... when will I do my masters degree so that I could get that dream job?

P.S. I think I found most of my links back. :)

Friends at Work

Thank you Nick for rounding up some colleagues at OBOE on Wednesday for my "big birthday", and to those who made an effort to turn up - Andy H, Andy M, Anthony, Shaun, Tyom, Colm and Gerard (did I miss anyone?) . I had a really good time and enjoyed my favourite cuisine at Masala Zone - curry!

Turning 30

I had a really good time with my friends over for BBQ on Sunday, friends from my primary school, secondary school, college and uni. I also invited our neighbour, Andrew - who has never met a Buddhist in his life and found out for the first time that some Buddhists don't eat beef!

I haven't felt so good in a long time. Thanks for being there all along my journey so far: Nick, Yik Yu & Ai Lin, Irene & Albert, Shanice & Keith, Ee Vonne & Gerald, Trina & Coppel, Jaycee & Terence and last but not least, Stephen the man!

Christmas 2009

Whoa... another year, another post!

The last Christmas was fun, I had many presents and gave quite a few to Stephen. The Morphy Richards cappuccino maker, the George Foreman 'Knock out the fat' Grill and the Super Mario Galaxy Wii game are all already proving their value.

CNY Trip Home

Friends and family... I'm going home!! Can't wait to see you all. 17th Feb - 4th Mar. I know... everyone must be so busy during that time. So, let's be organized and meet together, ok? Adventist friends, CKS, Methodist (or some people might call it Weslley), Prime College and Monash friends. Not forgetting too, Eng Lung and Chee Whay gang.

Hmmph... thinking of all the nice food I want to eat when I get back. Shogun at One Utama, Hilton Sentral High-tea and Steven's Corner. Yum!

See you all soon!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It's Christmas Eve, and quiet over here! Although I'm not a Christian, I have to admit that I love this season. The parties, the food, the atmosphere, even the Christmas songs! All these give me an elated feeling and a cheerful spirit.

I remember when we were kids, we sometimes would go to Singapore to look at the brilliant night lights at Christmas along Orchard Road. One particular Christmas though, I think I was 12, mum and dad had just got back from a holiday in Perth, Australia; they took home some exotic gifts like a kangaroo stuffed toy, a koala hand-puppet and a furry handbag. They also bought some strawberries, which were the sweetest I'd ever tasted and we ate them with ice-cream with our fake Christmas tree lighted up in the corner of the living room. That was probably the most memorable Christmas for me.

This year though, like the last Christmas, and a few before that, I am celebrating with Stephen. He cooks such awesome Christmas dinners, I could only regret we were not sharing with his family! This year we will be making roast ham with Madeira sauce and roast beef with mustard sauce. On the sides, we will be having new potatoes with mayonnaise, fried potatoes as Bratkartoffeln and savoy cabbage with bacon. To round it up, there will be lots of wine, port, cheeses and chocolates. All for just the two of us! Then it will be time for presents in the morning…



Hope your Christmas would be warm and cheerful and full of love!
