Just when you wonder if things would work out in the end, you receive a text that says: "I would want to spend the rest of my life lying on your tummy like I did just now..."It's simple things like these that means the most.
Cheeks is no longer listed as 'single'.The timing is probably wrong because while I'm bumming around now, the significant other has audits at work and school projects to do. After she is done with those, a well-deserved holiday beckons for her. When she returns, I will be starting my new job. And then I'll be off to the US for a few weeks of training.It does not seem like …
On the day I left my nursing job, the new company emailed me the date of my departure to the US for training.It made me wonder if there isn't a supreme being overseeing all these things? O …
I have served my last day as a nurse.It was a joy to help sick people, but unfortunately the joys were overshadowed by the crap (literally and figuratively) nurses have to endure every working day.Ultimately it is about respect, and because people in this country have no respect for healthcare workers, you will never see me donning a nursing uniform here again.There are …

From the UK's Daily Telegraph, a teenager found a baby bat in her bra while at work.If I were the bat, I would be very snug too. I wonder if the bat was 'vibrating' because ...
The email came a week after the earthquake. The recruiter asked to be linked to my network on a business networking site and mentioned that there might be a job opportunity for me.After confirming that it wasn't a spam mail, I met with the recruiter upon my return. Some questions were asked about my job scope, as well as the usual 'tell me about your strengths and …

Volunteered for relief work during said earthquake. Resigned from nursing position. Starting new gig very soon.What will the next six months bring? Lots of travelling, and new learning opportunities …
If you haven't been living inside a cave for the past year or so, then you should have heard of Randy Pausch. He is a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon, and late last year he gave a lecture on how to live one's life. The YouTube video of that lecture has been viewed 2.82 million times as I write this.As an 'extension' to that lecture, he has followed up with a …
An ex-classmate got to know of my upcoming plans, and said she envied me. To her, the whole nursing thing has been a waste of time.And it pisses me off.If she had spent 2 years doing aeronautics engineering, for example, and couldn't find a job in the aerospace industry, then perhaps she had grounds for whining and complaining that it was a waste of time. And even then I …
Today is the one month anniversary of the Sichuan earthquake.At 2.28pm this afternoon, I went to a corner of the ward and observed a minute's silence. Most of the world may have pushed the disaster to the back of their minds, but I refuse to forget.How could I, when I have seen and felt so much?There were days when I wished I could return to help. Relief work can be …
Molest, as defined by the OS X Leopard dictionary widget, is "assault, or abuse (a person, esp. a woman or child) sexually".To me, when someone goes up to a woman and rubs himself against …
People are getting married later in their lives, and it would not be a stretch to say that single women who are in their 30s to 40s are often looking for a serious partner. They are perhaps looking to settle down, and are looking for men who want the same things. However, the men in that age group might not be ready, and who could blame them? Men in their 30s are often …
Uncertainty, in itself, is neither a good thing nor a bad thing. It is simply the way life is. While uncertainty means that you may get a bad outcome in the future, it also means that you may get a good outcome, one that is better than you had expected or hoped for.Thus you can see the game of life as one of managing risks and probabilities. For each potential course of …
Most people are not concerned about the health effects of handphones, but I am.And this article by The New York Times shows why.Although there are no conclusive evidence that using handphones will cause cancer, the article rightly states that this is due to a lack of studies on long term exposures. Handphones have only been widely adopted and used in the last eight years or …
That's how the people in Chengdu pronounce Leopard in Chinese. As in OS X Leopard.No kidding.We tried our very best to keep a straight face when the salesperson said: "Dui bu qi, wo men mei you lam par."Juvenile and corny, I know. But funny nonetheless.
I've been to Chengdu twice, but they were stopovers en route to Tibet and the Silk Road. I thought I'll be able to see more of the city this time, but how wrong I was. Even the guy at the airport check-in counter gave a wry smile when he saw that I arrived on 11 May."I hope you weren't too frightened," he said. "Hai hao la," I replied. Little did he know that I've looked at …

A bus drove by, …
