it’s been more than 10 years since i’ve visited the zoo and night safari, so while i am back for a few weeks this time, i grabbed the chance to pay the animals a visit.the zoo was not bad, but the night safari was great! i really loved the creatures of the wild animal show, ...

when i returned in september suz introduced me to the cookie museum at the esplande and i fell in love with their cookies. i quite liked the local-flavoured ones like nasi lemak and hae bee hiam though i preferred the fruity/floral ones.
above: a serendipitous discovery just a few weeks before i left korea. i forgot the name of the cafe (it’s somewhere in hongdae), but the waffles were pretty decent and wallet-friendly too!! only downside was that our order took very long to arrive.florence, lx and i were speculating that the owner might be japanese (cos ...
my last dinner in seoul was at the myeongdong branch of zen hideaway with jihye, her bf and equinox. yumyumyum!!have also recently gotten back in touch with some very dear people who were part of my childhood… through facebook!! she’s like a real sister to me–my nanny’s daughter. it’s so amazing, i never would ...
just 2 days before i leave kimchi-land, i went ahead and purchased a new camera. the trip today was meant to be more of a recce trip to check out the prices, and the main reason it ended in a purchase was jihye (the weak korean won notwithstanding). she was amazing!i emailed a few ...
i was always the sort of person who hardly bothered with long-term plans, and usually only looked as far ahead as about 3 months.what with the disappointment that i had recently, i see an even lesser need for long-term planning. we don’t even know what’s going to happen tomorrow (though we can make a guess), ...

for once, i didn’t procrastinate (i wanted to type “procrastinated my procrastination” but it sounded weird. hee).started packing my stuff yesterday, and my clothes are mostly all packed (except those that i would still need to wear, of course). i also managed to fill up 2 huge bags of clothes which i placed into the ...
despite having my dream taken from me just like that all of a sudden, and even though i’m feeling extremely, extremely lost now, there are still many things that i can give thanks for.and happy birthday to mumsy! not sure if you would be thankful to have a daughter like me but i’m glad that ...
read some very disappointing news today that dashed my dream of 2 years, just like that.i really really really detest my singaporean passport right now. there’s nothing i can do with it–i can’t teach english in korea (and most other countries), i can’t go on working holidays… i feel ...

서울에서 오늘 첫눈이 내렸다.한국 친구한테 들은 얘기인데 한국사람들이 애인이랑 첫눈을 같이 봤다면 앞으로는 헤어지지 않을 거라고 한다.나한테는 눈이 하도 많이 봐서 그런가 특별한 느낌이 별로 안 느껴진다. 오직 “퇴근하기 전에 빨리 그쳐라, 귀찮게 해서”라고 생각만 했다. 그래두, 눈이 내리는 걸 보니까 이젠 진짜 …

one of the neighbourhoods i really love in seoul is sinsa-dong. it’s a place in seoul quite unlike seoul, probably as posh as (or maybe more than) apgujeong but without the pretentiousness of the latter. i love sinsa-dong for its quaint little cafes and peacefulness, it being a lot less crowded than the other “happening” ...
since graduation, i hardly ever touched code, at least not in the sense of hard-core coding (html doesn’t count).these past few days i have somehow rediscovered the joy in programming, as i have been writing some web applications to make things easier for me when i work in NZ, given that i won’t have access ...
was chatting with lx over msn when the topic of happiness came up. the following is going to be quite preachy, but it’s actually more of a reminder to myself than anything. so you can ignore it if you want.happiness is a personal responsibility. i would love for my loved ones to be happy, of ...
i wonder if they saw it coming…the girl whose parents had to lock her in and hide the key because, instead of studying, she kept running out to play.the girl who managed to escape through the back door anyway, which the parents had overlooked.the girl who managed to find the key to the front door ...
have quite a bit of photos..first, here are those taken on lx’s birthday oct 18, where we went to rainbow @ kangnam to watch a bellydance performance. while we were standing in the queue for drinks, we spoke to this canadian girl who told us, “this place is great; don’t expect too much from the ...
