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 future, or [...]
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 could [...]
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. I have always [...]
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! I [...]
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 had to wear [...]
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 some photos to [...]
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 of [...]
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. I have not [...]
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 behind my cabinet [...]
I was running late for work so I took a taxi. I am bad at giving directions. 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 which direction to take. I gave him instructions and when I [...]
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 left Japan. [...]
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 they call “hawkers”, you [...]
