They both sat in awkward silence at the café. It had been ages since they'd last seen each other, and it was only through a compulsive e-mail he had penned that the both of them were there. She had been reluctant, but he persuaded her, telling her that even if the meeting was awkward, as... Continue Reading →
The Naming Dilemma
I was just about to write about an experience I had at Coffee Bean today. I was going to write on how the person who took my order made a funny comment on my name. After I told him my name was "Don", he said something along the lines of "Don? The Godfather?" I was... Continue Reading →
On Exams and Love
I've got one more paper tomorrow, and I'll be flying back to Singapore after that (on Saturday). The studying mood's gone, but yes, I know, that's a poor excuse for not studying, so I'll be studying still. Many of the Currie Hall people have left already, either flying back to their home country or returning... Continue Reading →
Fart in the Shower
I could see the steam rise from the depths of the toilet floor and into the air above me. Some of the more persistent ones stuck about my head, refusing to go away till I blew on them, after which they moved aside like cars on a crowded highway move aside for a lighted ambulance....

Awkward
I just want to say that I like you. If you like me too we could be more than friends. Otherwise we will just feel like a female stripper at a gay charity event: awkward.

Johnson & Johnson's marketing campaign included the use of videos of... Continue Reading →

First, let me open this article with the excerpt of the song, The Mind is Evil, by the Indie band Clearlake: And sometimes I think If I killed off my mind Then my heart and I would...

Japanese Dolphin Killings Never Happened
A Japanese friend refuses to believe that his fellow Japanese back in Japan actually kill dolphins. Another friend and I had come across a similar article in a newspaper while having our breakfast. We showed it to our Japense friend, and his immediate reaction was, "it's not true, man." He continued, "we love dolphins, man.... Continue Reading →
Friends Say the Darndest Things
I had a chat with a close friend on MSN Messenger a few days ago. Was going through the logs when I realised this gem of a message which I just had to share: there's this korean chick in my sch man quite hot but u know wat's best? her mom's hotter
One Man, Two Voices
"Wait for it, wait for it," I thought, as I waited for the man, a Caucasian, to stop talking and for my friend to start. The man eventually stopped, and my friend started. I smiled to myself as my friend started to talk in a hodgepodge of an accent. I probably really should have been... Continue Reading →
