The CRAZE surrounding Yam Ah Mee

So with all the buzz about the Singapore General Elections (#GE2011), I was rather overwhelmed by the sheer amount of opinions been published on all forms of social media. I had facebook notes, youtube videos, tweets, blogposts, etc etc all stuffed in my rss feeds! It was a great insight reading most of them initially before most opinions started being very similar and then I got sick of reading. So anyway, let me just cut the chase. I’m blogging about…

Old School Friendster Testimonials!

Do you remember the days of Friendster? Back when I was in secondary school, Friendster was all the rage. Friendster is so un-userfriendly now! But that’s not the point of my post. The point of it was, I decided to go take a look at my old account and found some interesting memories. There was this “testimonials” section where people pop by and shout about how much they love or hate you. I found two old testimonials by my 2…

A letter to all who are sending me shit about Parenting

Dear theasianparent.com, I think, I had about enough. Why did you start sending me so many “irrelevant” edm contents to me recently? Is it because you think I am old and I need to be already married and having kids already?!!??!!?!? *Unreasonable rant* I insist it’s irrelevant because I’m not married nor do I have kids so why are you sending me so much information on parenting? I don’t know how you got my email. But even if you did…

My Dedication to Yoga

Yoga is a wonderful form of exercise. Yoga has been my main (read: only) form of exercise for the past 4 years. It trains you mentally, physically and emotionally. In these 4 years, I have definitely come a long way in terms of flexibility, strength and endurance. My favourite class has to be Hatha Multilevel taught by Instructor, Yogi at Ocean Towers’ True Yoga. To those of you who think yoga is too slow for you, think again! I just…

The Possibilities Are Tremendous

As I looked out the window of my plane seat, I saw a magnificently different world outside. A view that screams of so much opportunities, and wonders just lurking in the horizons. And then I thought of someone, and I know, everything will be alright. Because you’re you and I’m me, it all feels right.

Embrace the Present.

I was floored to have realised this. And I thought, I have a blog and I really need to share this with you all. Please spare some time to read this. You know how sometimes, we tell ourselves, I will spend time with my kid tomorrow. Or I will go start that healthy regime when I have time. Well, stop that! NEVER put off doing things that are important to your well-being and satisfaction to a later time. Live fully,…

Profound much?

If a man wants to work, he first needs to raise his head: referring to the process of writing the word 夫. He needs to do so in order to be a fully grown man. 夫 = man. Only a man who possesses his own family, is a real man. 丈＝ husband One, capable of carrying out a big task. 大＝ great things 大丈夫

Excited to be going away for awhile

Been awhile since I had business to attend to in KL, Malaysia. Glad to be going back for the weekend. When I come back, it’ll be the real test. The real beginning of what it means to be independently dependent on myself. These days I’m quite the confused soul. What am I doing? What am I feeling? Why am I doing the things I am doing? But I know time will sort things out for me. I’ll find my way.…
