The tiredness I feel is as if I'd gone through the whole week of work, non-stop. I'm back in the lab again, after not doing an real, hard-core lab work in months. While part of me is groaning at how little time is left for me to hang out in front of the computer, most of me is exhilarated and excited about being back in the lab. I'm running around a lot, looking through …
(Alternate Title: The One Where We Travelled All Over The Down Town Area Trying To Get Seats) The Happy Smiley Writers Group finally got around to having the long overdue meeting where we hashed out the last few chapters of the next book and working on the promotion and marketing of Happiness at the End of The World. We were down to five members as Joelyn was unwell …
I think that the last time my family and I actually had a family holiday together with all of us present, was at least a decade ago. With school and work taking up most of our time, we hardly ever go off on a trip together. So when my mum asked if I was free for a family trip, I made time to go since I have not had a proper holiday in two years. My parents decided on Awana …
Another Saturday, another adventure. That's starting to be my motto lately. So, it's another instalment of me tagging along Seriously Sarah as she does her Sarah Does Singapore column. This time however, there were a number of us who guest starred in her adventure, not just me and Joelyn Alexandra. Heck, even my friend Pri made an appearance. Anyway, on with the story but …
There's too much that I can saw about my family roadtrip but I think it that my sister, Hopeily said it best. They’re always fun. You laugh together, annoy the crap out of your parents… B …
Over the weekend, I attended a writers' seminar held at The Art's House, organised by the National Book Council Development of Singapore. It was a free seminar open to all young writers from junior colleges, polytechnics and the universities. While I may be at least a decade older than the youngest of those who attended the seminar (which means that I'm not all that young), …
I try to put my plot ideas into words when I have the time. Most of the stuff in my writing journal are either parts of stories or works in progress. On of those is a story that involves m …
With Bags I can never find the correct size and level of cuteness to hold everything I need; at least 3 note books, largish wallet, umbrella, water bottle (400ml), camera, keys, a story book of at least 400 pages, mobile phone, iPod and sometimes Nintendo DS Lite. The bags that I have are either too big or too small or too uncomfortable to be carried for long hours. Those …
1. Recipes are just a guideline. 2. Cooking is about estimation and feeling, not exact measurements. 3. Any ingredient combo can be made tasty with onions, shallots, garlic and chilli. 4. Do not depend on a man to fix things around the house, learn how to do it on your own. 5. You are forever 5 years old in their eyes. 6. Stay away from politics, just smile, nod your …
I finally finished all the Percy Jackson books today and it left me with the same feeling as when I finished the last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter & the Deathly Hollows. After all that I went through to get the books and following the main character through adventures, heartache, love and betrayal, I felt like I was saying goodbye to a dear friend. It had been a wonderful …
You're as young as you think you are. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm 28, an unmarried, part-time student, full-time lab rat. Most of my peers are either: a) in grad school getting their PhD b) working some high flying job, and I'm not just talking about the air steward/ess c) married with/out kids d) being responsible, practical adults Me, I'm in a job that mostly makes …
On the last day of January, I met with Seriously Sarah, Raven Silvers and Avariel to check out the Post Museum that Rozen was telling us about during the HSWG meeting the previous day. HSWG was looking for a working space and there was studio space at there that we could rent and set up an office or something. We decided to do some reconnaissance for her and at the same time, …
I had the itch to start fiddling around with my blog layout again after such a long while. This time around, I didn't take too long to find the layout I wanted. It seems that I seem to have a preference for scantily clad ladies as my masthead. Remember my old masthead? There's just something about classic pin up girls that I find exceedingly sexy. Anyway, I finally …
Photo by The-Jeff My office will be going out for paint ball outing after office hours today. However, I will not be joining them. When the email was going around asking if anyone was interested, I'd already to told the organiser that I would not be going, citing that my anger management is at an all time low and I worry for the safety of my colleagues if I did go. They …
On a recent trip to Kinokuniya to look for the rest of books in the Percy Jackson series, I saw this in the shelves of the local literature section. My (our) book is finally out in the book stores! After many months of waiting, the distributor finally came through and it's now available to the public. It feels very coincidental that on the day that we had a Happy Smiley …
When I realised that the Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief movie was based on a book, my first thought was, I need to read that book before I watch the movie. So, when I saw the book at the bookstore during a recent lunch-time jaunt, I had to get the book. At first, I was a little worried that it would be another disappointment since the last few Young Adult books I picked …
Photo courtesy of Seriously Sarah Last Sunday, I met up with the Adventure Crew (Seriously Sarah, Raven Silvers, Joelyn Alexandra and Avariel) for bowling. My sister, Hopeily, decided to come along as well. I've been meaning to go bowling for a long while but I just never got around to doing that. When I asked if anyone was interested in going for the bowling session, the …
So what happens when you read Percy Jacksn & The Lightning Thief for a few days and then do experiments with mussles? You dream about the Olympians helping you crack open mussels so that you can get to the adductor muscle to draw out haemolymph. I'm that much of a geek, yes.
