I was hit by nostalgia today. And as I thought back about my past, I realised how different my life would be today if I'd made a decision or two just a tad differently from what I'd actually made. I'm not saying that life would've been better. All I know for certain is that it'd... Continue Reading →
What is edonn.com really about?
Sometimes I wonder what edonn.com’s really all about. On the one hand I’m always longing for greater readership, hoping that perhaps one day there’ll be so many people coming to this website that I’ll be famous and, banking on that fame become really wealthy. On the other hand, edonn.com’s such a personal space that if... Continue Reading →
Back. And as a Married Man.
It feels like ages since I last wrote here. And I suppose that feeling's justified since it HAS been ages (almost a month!) Which is about as long as I haven't gone out for a nice, good run. And which reminds me, I haven't had a long run (anything over an hour) since my marathon... Continue Reading →
Burnout? Sure feels like it.
It's been almost two weeks since I last wrote anything here. Life's been busy, crazily so. Wedding preparations and work commitments have been overwhelming, and it seems that just as I've completed one task another two pop up in its place. In a way, I enjoy being this busy. I love having lots to do;... Continue Reading →
Happy Chinese New Year
Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Hope you have a really prosperous new year ahead! It's going to be quite an exciting year for me, for various reasons, but especially because of the upcoming marriage. As an aside, I've been really sick for the past week or so. I could feel the flu virus laying partially... Continue Reading →
Efficiencies at the Watercooler
My bottle was half-filled with water, but since I'd pass by the watercooler while on my way to the washroom, I decided to fill it up. After filling my bottle to the brim, I took a few gulps and refilled the amount that I'd just gulped down. But for some reason or another, before I... Continue Reading →
On Catholicism, science, and being good. Amen.
I was just thinking back to the days when I'd I used to pray each night like the semi-devout catholic I was. Semi, because I wasn't so much into catholic traditions and beliefs, but more of a "being good is what I want to be and Catholicism just so happens to be the most accessible... Continue Reading →
Airy Trains
There's something about bright airy trains. They're beautiful and certainly something to be grateful for, but I think no one really notices. You should. At least once in a while. ********** Wrapped up in our own thoughts (music, books, worries, aspirations), we may physically live in this world but are not quite part of it.... Continue Reading →
What other wedding expenses do we need to consider?
Just the other day the Lix started worriedly asking me if we had enough money to get married. I told her we mightn't, and that if it came down to it we'd just borrow what we needed. But Lix has a strong aversion to borrowing. "If we can't afford it," she said, "we shouldn't be... Continue Reading →
IPPT Gold Revisited
The future missus said she was proud of me, and you know what? I'm plenty proud myself. So here's the IPPT result slip that I still keep in my wallet to remind me that I've still got what it takes 🙂 I had made it a point to try to keep a diary or record... Continue Reading →
