Back in 2006, I did a post on my obsession for Lord of The Rings. In the past few weeks, I've rediscovered the my love for it when I was listening to a Blind Guardian's song:It made realise that I had yet to read The Hobbit in its entirety or even start on The Silmarillion. So re-started the urge for me to delve into Tolkien's work again. It took me two weeks or so to finish …
1. Borrow a book from the library.2. Put the book on pile of your own books after you're done with it with all intention of returning it the next day but you forget.3. Clean up the house just before a big family gathering.4. Forget where you kept the book because the pile of books where you thought you kept it is now a totally different pile.5. Look for it but to no avail.6. …
I've been wanting to try this for a while now. So what do you think?Don't I look pretty? Wahahahah!!!Ok, so the eyebrows need some trimming, the face is a little oily and I have no makeup what so ever on my face, but the eyes! They are Teh Prettiest! Ok, so my sister put the fake lashes on for me butbutbut, I will learn to put it on by myself. And then, I will be pretty, oh …
I've mentioned in the previous post regarding the Sakura International at Clementi Woods, that I needed to go to another outlet to make a comparison. Dinner over the weekend gave me just that opportunity. I've heard from friends and colleagues that this outlet of the Sakura Internationl restaurants is the best out of the many different branches. I didn't want to take anything …
Indulge in some sappy, romantic rock songs and a good romance novel. It felt good to read again, especially when it's all about the happy, happy things. Throw in a few demons, vampires, hot guys, smart and strong girls, some hot, hot sex, and I'll pick it up. It's been a while since I last read anything. I started a few books but never got any further than the first few …
I thought I'll try something new to share my food pictures. So here's a slideshow of the stuff I had yesterday. Tell me what you think. Technorati Tags: Food, Video
I changed my blog layout! If you don't see it, refresh your cookies. I seem to go through this cycle of either going totally black or black and pink. So anyway, like the new layout? I do. :)Do tell me if it's not appearing the way it should.Technorati Tags: Blogging
With the end of the month of April, so ends Script Frenzy. The plan to write 100 pages of script in 30 days did not go as planned. Out of the thirty plus participants from Singapore, only three or four of them actually managed to hit the goal. Hectic life schedules and utterly no motivation only resulted in four pages of script. It's like the first two years of NaNoWriMo all …
The Seoul Garden outlet at Causeway Point recently underwent some renovations and now part of the premise has been converted to a Breeks outlet.It was a little early for the place to fill up with the dinner crowd so we managed to get a table very easily. It's been a while since I last went to Breeks for a meal so I can't really say if the menu has changed but what I can say …
Being the geek/nerd that I am, I find ScienceBlogs absolutely interesting. Where else can you find a...
It's been a long while since I went out for dinner and so when my friends and I were at Vivocity, we ended up at Fig & Olive.Clockwise: Chicken marakesh with olive rice, fish melted cheese and calamari rings.It's been a while since I last went to Fig & Olive and the previous experience was quite enjoyable. This time around though, it left much to be desired. The calamari …
All I want to do is to curl up under my bed and not face the world (that is if there wasn't so much junk under there). I have issues that need to be resolved but it's going to take time. I need to learn how to let go.I need to learn to relax.I need to be able to tell him what's on my mind, my heart without losing it.I need to learn how to communicate without breaking down …
I’ve always found tattoos very fascinating, especially when they’re science related. This blog has an awesome collection of tattoos that cover almost every science field. Who said that sci …
I've got a total of 3 lines of text, only to realise that I have to start all over again because I was using the wrong template. I'm finding it hard to feel motivated to start the writing. Maybe it's because I've never written a script before or it could just be me being sick and totally not in the mood to write. Also, the drugs make me so sleepy.Novel writing is so much …
On Saturday, a few of us took some of the children for the Pertapis Children's Home for an outing to Snow City, the Science Center and the Omnimax Theater. It was a very interesting experience for me as it was my very first time voluntarily volunteering for community work. When I agreed to help out, I didn't know what to expect. I'm not much of a people person in the first …
Even though my mum said that I've been to Haw Par Villa before, I have no recollection of it seeing that I went when I wasn't even in school yet. When the opportunity came up to spend a day out with friends at Haw Par Villa, how can I pass it up?Much fun was has by everyone, I think. There was so much food that we had to play Indian Poker, where the loser had to eat a curry …
Like not getting out of bed some days because I find it too much effort to even kick the covers aside and get up to face the world.Like there's weight in my chest that won't go away.Sad for no apparent reason.Like crying even for a simple, non-tear-inducing thing like when Ellen DeGeneres announced that she was getting married to Portia de Rossi, or even pictures of cute …
Mine was great actually. This weekend had been one of the best weekend I've had in a long time.I had my well-deserved break from my family and it's recharged my batteries somewhat.Yesterday, I went for tea and spend some time among the book stacks at Kinokuniya. It was nice and relaxing. I even found a few books that I added to me to-read list once I've actually cleared my …
I love movies. I used to go to the cinema almost every week but that was way back when I had more time. So now days, when the opportunity arises, I try to squeeze in as many movies as I can in what ever free time I have. It also helps that I like going to the movies by myself.On Sunday, I decided to do something crazy and bought tickets for back to back movies; Kungfu Panda …
