I am looking for a job. Not for me, but for my uncle with disabilities. But first, I need to tell you what avenues we have tried and explain why I'm still using social media as a means. Of course we'll keep on trying, even if nothing works through this, though I thought it'd still be a worthwhile effort. Though at the end of the day, if you are a business owner, somebody who …
I have set up Crave-A-Book! Classics and popular books available for rent at extremely affordable prices ($1 - $3/book/3 weeks). They really are my own books (so now you know what I read). I'm still in the process of uploading more titles. If you guys have the time, could you also help me to fill in this 5-question survey to help me know more about what people would want? …
I like it very, very much. The Hunger Games trilogy is an exciting, easy-to-read story. It's full of suspense at nearly every page. Scenes flow into one another. Words bring the images to mind easily. And although the proofreader in me felt there was some improvement that can be done to the punctuation and sentence structure (seriously! Don't know if it's just me, but I …
My mom just said the funniest thing. Mom: Next time, don't let your terrapin out! She's a very bad tortoise! (serious face) She shit all over the place! Me: She's just a terrapin! Of course she'll shit! Mom: See, I show you. She shit there, so I enclosed her here (pointing it out to me), then she's very persistent! She keeps wanting to crawl out, but I think she couldn't. …
...it's not fantasy, it's a plan.-Pussy Cat in a movie on Sundance Channel I'm afraid. I'm afraid you're a cereal man working on music rather than a musician working at a cereal bar.-Pussy Cat in a movie on Sundance Channel
It is almost an insane feeling of complete freedom, yet at a lost of what to do with all this time on one's hands. A hundred to-dos, each seemingly insignificant. I sit and ponder, comparing task against task, "Which do I start first?". Other incomparably even more insignificant tasks not on the list takes hold instead, and we ponder, "Why do we not have more time?" As …
I don't know why but I feel so moved when I listen to him play. Visit www.sunghajung.com Oh man, I feel like buying his album, and this is from me, someone who very, extremely seldom buys CDs or albums.
My brother just came home and suddenly placed a big bag on my bed. "Eh, your Twilight series," he said. Caught off-guard, my heart leapt with joy and I exclaimed loudly, "Yay!" Then I went to explore the bunch of books. It took me 5 seconds to realize I might be overly enthusiastic. But I still love Harry Potter! Please don't despise me! (and don't take away my books!)

So here we are in the age of technology, where nearly everything can be found on screen, at your fingertips, pending the click of a mouse. There's an increasing trend of tourists who travel overseas and stay not at hotels, but in homes of locals. If you do not yet know, there are various websites offering such services. It's pretty awesome, actually. In my previous post, I …
For when I (finally) go to Japan. One is allowed to dream and plan, right? Here are 2 rules: I have a budget. This means nothing fancy, except if it's a must-see, must-try kind of thing. And in my opinion, the only things that are must-see or must-try, are things that locals participate in. I want to experience local life as much as possible. I'm not really into expensive …

Those who knew him might play while holding personal memories in mind and emotions within. But it doesn't matter if we knew him personally, was his best …
I can't decide. When will I be able to decide what to do when I leave? When will I have the courage to manage leaving a familiar and warm place for a new, unfamiliar place? -------------------- -- My mom told me that during CNY, her friend asked her why I looked so unhappy. Was I very stressed out at work? If I look unhappy even during a break, I think there is something …
If I'm setting expectations that are apparently too high for me to attain and am too ambitious, then what is suitable? How do I know if my goals are OK? It is very saddening to think that my ambitions are too far off because then am I to live and accept these are how things will be, for the rest of my life? I don't know if it's because my goals are too high that I am unhappy. …

I was out shopping with my mom today and she suddenly told me, Mum: "Next time if you don't get married, you can buy a house of your own. A small one..." Me: "Wha..." Mum: "...a 2-room flat." Me: "Wha...what?" Mum: "So that I can go and stay with you sometimes." Me: "... ..." Me: "Why must you stay over? I was thinking of a studio apartment." Mum: "No, a 2-room flat. For me …
First week of school (and the new year) has passed and tomorrow's the second week. I still remember the first week last year when I was so overworked that I felt 1 month has passed by the end of a week. I have no idea how I survived 6 months after that. This year, however, was a lot better. I felt a lot more in control, no doubt thanks to my new partners. I can't thank them …
