When the lovely Rinaz and Cart invited their friends over for an informal get-together to catch up, play some games and enjoy some home-made Italian food, I was excited and looked forward to it since I have not met them in so long. What I didn't know was that it was going to be my first adventure of the year. I was to meet Sarah at 4pm but I was running a little late. While … 
I was contemplating on whether I should even do a summary of my life in 2010 but since I did it for the last few years (here, here and here), I might as well keep to tradition and just do it. 2010 was an interesting year, filled with events, meeting new people, self-discovery and thanks. In 2010, I discovered that just because you're afraid to do something, it doesn't mean …
One of the things I miss doing most is going out with either one or both of my sisters. Now that all three of us are working, it gets harder to spend time with each other doing girly things; like shopping. So when the opportunity arose yesterday, since my youngest sis was having the day off, we decided to go for a little shopping jaunt into town. After a late lunch at Far … 
A long time ago, while looking through some sites on how to make the costume for Link, I asked my mum if she would help me make it. She turned to me and said, "Why don't you go as a tapir?" That made me go WTH?! Tapirs aren't cosplay material, unless there's a tapir character out there that I don't know about. So I totally dismissed that idea and tried to think about what to … 
When the guests lists for the Singapore Toys, Games and Comics Convention (STGCC) was released, my friends were superbly excited that Gail Simone was coming for the con. I've read her works and I love the way she writes, so I was just as excited. On the opening day of the convention, I met with Joelyn and we headed to the con to meet Sarah who was already there as a … 
Lately, most of my weekends are spent doing assignments, hanging out with my friends for a while and then spending time with Dude but this week, my weekend was most awesome. I had loads of fun. On Saturday morning, I met up with the Adventure Crew for the archaeological dig site at The National Art Gallery. It was a beautiful sunny and very hot morning. Sarah and I were the …
Once upon a time, a young girl fell in love with a young man. He made her laugh, made her smile and for the first time in her life, she was genuinely happy. She wanted to be with him forev …
Every year, I look forward to November as it's the time where I indulge in literary abandon, writing out the first horrible draft of a novel that may see the light of day when I get around …
(via deepdarksquid) I had chilli at Wendy's today and reaffirmed my thought, nothing tastes as good as home-made food. Sure, my home-made chilli isn't fully home-made but it sure tastes b …
That's what I'm feeling; so many things to do, so little time. I feel out of sorts and rushing around to finish things. I think that my seminar module has a lot to do with what I'm going through; an essay question released every week and due two weeks after it's been put up. So I've been rushing to get the literature search, the reading and the writing, on top of the readings …
It's November and that means, NaNoWriMo! Unfortunately, work is totally picking up and school... Well, school is a bitch this semester and the essays are totally not letting up. So it's going to be a real juggling act this month, balancing my need to write my novel and doing my essays as well as all the work that needs to be done in the lab and the office. It sucks that …
The scent of coffee in the morning. My mum's cooking. Comfort food in the form of boiled tapioca and it's side dishes. Kisses. Good music. Good books. Snuggling on the beanbag and watching a movie. Talking about food, comic books and evolution over a meal. Cats coming to me for pettings. Hugs. Museums. Shooting things in video games. And the following video:
Photo by apdk Over the weekend, one of my close friends got married to a wonderful man. I've known both of them for more than half my life and I was glad and honoured to have a part in their wedding ceremony and the banquet afterwards. It was my first time being a bride's maid and especially in a wedding that is so culturally different from mine. I was excited and yet a … 
The hotness of a man isn't in just the way he looks, how he carries himself and how he behaves. It's in the little things that he does that makes him sexy, gorgeous and oh, so hot in your eyes. It's in the way he talks to you, making you feel like you're his equal, taking the time to explain esoteric things that you've never heard before and make it exciting. When he asks … 
It's that time of year again when the local NaNoWriMo chapter have their annual Kick-Off Party. Where it's at: National Library, Multipurpose room (basement 1) at 6.30pm (till 8.30pm) Theme (Yes, we always have a theme): Superheroes! Come dressed up as your favourite graphic novel character, both heroes and villains. Not compulsory but it'll be fun. Who's invited: … 
Instead of spending my day totally concentrating on doing my draft for my essay, I'd spent half of the time watching movies while at the same time, going through my points to write up for that essay (which is due this Thursday and I've not written it out yet). That's actually how I do my school work; with the tv on, my computer logged onto the web and my papers every where. …
Things I need to write: - Steampunk short story I've not started it at all and the submission deadline is on Halloween. I have some ideas though but the part where I need to sit down and write it out... That part isn't seem to be happening. - Marine Conservation essay I have papers to read for this essay and I've started on two of those but still, the reading is going …
I was at the Flea Fly Flo Fun market at The National Art Gallery last Sunday for a tour of the old Supreme Court the City Hall. I saw that the Proletariat Poetry Factory had a booth at the market and I thought, lets give it a go. I gave them the phrase 'chocolate strawberries' and let them craft me a poem. Ten minutes later, this is what they have for me: you are the … 
Weekends are adventure days. Last Saturday was not different. I met with the Adventure Crew (Sarah, Avariel and Joelyn) and we headed down to the red dot Traffic where we met with tumblenc, who was our guest star for the weekend adventure. They were having a fair of sorts for Children's Day and some interesting design exhibits. I've only walked pass the building and having … 
One of my most favourite things to do on a weekend is to go museum hopping and I'm really glad that Dude loves going to museums as much as I do. I don't really mind going to museums alone but having company is even better since you get to talk about the exhibits and sometimes make snarky comments because well, I'm bitchy like that. Anyway, two weekends ago, we ended up going …
