Tuesday, November 4th, 2008It’s my birthday today! Wohoo!! It’s comforting to know many people will remember this special day… well, for the US Elections, but hey! It’s still the same day!
Happy Birthday to me! I’m a young’un. Only 23! But boy, does time fly by. I still remember being a teenager. Now I’m an adult. EEKKKK!!

Human Challenges
Friday, October 10th, 2008I had hoped that I would have some lull periods for a while longer, or that adversity wouldn’t hit it… YAH RIGHT! That is pure wistful thinking.
Things have been unfolding and the biggest challenge that is facing me right now is PEOPLE. I guess for me, it’s always been a hard thing to deal with, [...]
I’m Exhausted!
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008I’m pooped! Beyond exhausted. Drained. Collapsing, etc, etc.
I started on a 2 weeks course for my work. The course was training on how to be a good government public relations officer and it’s tiring. Everyday is packed so tight, with information being thrown at us constantly. My mind hasn’t had to process so much info [...]
Work Woes
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Working in the Government frustrates me a lot of times. And sometimes I’m so worked up that I think of leaving and going into the private sector. They are several things that make me cringe everytime.
1. The lack of power to do anything without getting approval from 4 levels of management. Thus slowing everything down [...]
Finally Moving On…
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Integrating back to Singapore life has been almost a year’s journey. Many times I’ve wished I was back in the US, wished I was still studying, wished I wasn’t back in Singapore. Sometimes, I would even get angry at God for making me come back.
Singapore isn’t perfect and I do not agree with the path [...]
Learning and Growing, Hopefully
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008It’s been stressful, full of ups and downs.
One up is that I got confirmed at my work, got a pay raise and a bonus. It was a surprise and such a blessing.
One down is the whole table load of work I have to do and the stress that follows, mostly through dealing with others, namely [...]
The Love of Performing
Saturday, May 31st, 2008I just returned from a theatre production of Little Women, the classic written by Louisa M. Alcott. It was staged by a group of amateur actors (amateur in terms of doing it for free, not amateurish) from The Stage Club. It was a well done production, full of funny moments and good acting. The script [...]
Fun to Boring
Monday, May 5th, 2008It’s been one year since I graduated from college. Time has flew by once again. Now I can’t say I’m a fresh graduate and cling to the concept of still being fun and young. Now I’m a working adult who has become boring and sedate. lol. Such a stark change. Where I once would go [...]
Money Discipline
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008Depending on my own salary is teaching me money discipline that my parents never could. I love buying stuff, either for myself or others. I love eating out in restaurants and I love techie stuff. All these adds up to tons of $$ that is way over what I have. Since young, I’ve had the [...]
I feel like 50.
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008I’m 22 years old stuck in a 50 years old body. At least that’s what I feel like. To add to my wonderful gastritis problem, I’m having horrible migraines that feel like someone’s using an axe and hacking away at my head. And because of gastritis, I can’t take too much pain killers so the [...]
