Like, only nine people wanted to win a copy of Norton Internet Security 2009, worth USD70. About 70 people wanted to win a tiny PSP pouch, worth, I dunno, a few bucks?(Both these contests were run concurrently at my blog.)The NIS 2009 contest required some work (posting an anecdote, a blog and answering questions).The PSP ...
I have to be very honest. I was totally exhausted during last Saturday’s Social Media Breakfast, so I only had about 50% presence of mind. The other 50% of me was zoning out on sleep-deprivation-induced hallucinations.Some SMBers might have noticed me occasionally favouring the striking pink floral wall at Cafe Domus with a glazed, ...
AdvertorialRemember I spoke about the POSB Everyday Champions Award, about how I wanted to nominate the Goonfather for the award for attacking me during his sleep and inadvertently training me in unarmed self-defense combat (although he’d like to have you believe that it’s the other way round)?Well, the winners have been revealed and I was ...
I’m just glad it’s finally over! The news is that I didn’t win, and I’m glad because:I can save money. (I’m supposed to buy loads of people drinks if I win, haha.)I was having a bit of a wardrobe malfunction last night and it was a good thing I didn’t have to take tons of ...

I’m now at a birthday party at which the birthday boy (12 years old) is busy playing computer games in his room.His guests are chatting among themselves in the living room.One of them (me) is busy blogging. Thanks to my daily blogging deadlines, I now bring my work wherever I go, which makes me look ...
The Goonfather spotted this.Any guesses?*lol*Copyright © 2008 The sometimes damsel in distress.
Sundays are good days to watch online videos. You’re at home and you don’t have to worry about bosses lurking behind you, voyeuring your screen.Here’s one for fans of The Dark Knight.It’s freakishly hilarious. Make sure you’re in a safe place to laugh out loud. I salute the guys who made this video. Wish I ...
This week’s Star Blog topic:I look into the mirror — and what do I see? Well, I see what I see. I see a face staring back at me. And I decide to camwhore. I considered being all philosophical about it and talking about the stuff beyond the skin. But there’s so much stuff beyond ...
I was hanging out with my friends the other night, talking about random stuff.At one point, the Goonfather asked Wang Wang, “So, you want to watch Iron Man or not?”“Yes yes yes!” said Wang Wang.At which the Goonfather said, “Okay, later you go home, you ask your husband to iron some clothes.”Then he pointed at ...
I’m at a private swimming pool with the Goonfather and Unker Kell. They had gone to Sentosa earlier, but had prematurely aborted the mission because there weren’t any bikini babes around (although the Goonfather claims that it’s because the water at the beach isn’t nice enough today).So they decided to come back to the mainland. ...
Quite by chance one day, I was having a rare Plurk conversation with blog reader Stan and his friends when the discussion led to food. It’s an interesting phenomenon you might have noticed. Internet conversations involving Singaporeans and/or Malaysians invariably lead to food. Or sex. Sometimes both at the same time.In this case, it was ...

I decided very last minute to attend the Nuffnang Pajama Party (happening tonight in KL), so after dinner last night, I got the Goonfather to drive me out to buy some pajamas. At first, I thought to seek his opinion.“This one nice?”“Too transparent.”“What about this one?”“Too transparent.”“This one???“Too …
So, here’s the saddest irony in the world. I have in my hands a full-build copy of Grand Theft Auto IV, five days before official release.But I have no time to play it.And not just for one reason. Not even two reasons. But three reasons.I have so much work to do I don’t even have ...
Sometimes in life, you find yourself doing the most dastardly forehead-smacking deeds.YOU DO. Even if you refuse to admit it.C’mon, say you do and make me feel a little less alone.In return, I will reveal some of the less incriminating ones that happened to me.(Can’t talk about the truly embarrassing ones because I’ve managed to ...
Uh oh. I think telemarketers are beginning to wise up to the Goonfather. If, one day, he stops being able to tease them, he’s going to blame me, I think.Here’s the latest Goonscapade with a female telemarketer from a makeover studio.Telemarketer: Good afternoon, I’m calling from XXX Studio and would like to invite you to ...
I don’t know about you, but I feel very hurt each time I get treated rudely by service people when I never even provoked them in the first place. But when the anger dissolves by the end of the day, I start to wonder why they’re like that. The wounded child in me, of course, ...
I met this person some time back at an event. We exchanged friendly words and it was nice.Then, today, I found out that this person, after meeting me only once, had gone and posted nasty untruths about me in an Internet forum. This is really quite hurtful.I do on occasion get nasty comments in my ...
I was having tea with Ely one leisurely afternoon when she suddenly pointed behind me and exclaimed in shock, “OYO!!”I don’t know what kind of an exclamation that was. It was part fear, part amazement, part apocalyptic.It gave me a scare.I thought maybe someone was creeping up behind me to try to sell me a ...
