"You should get out in the sun more," she said, "you're so fair." "Well," I replied, "I like to think of myself as fair. And balanced."
Parking against the traffic flow
I was just leafing through some of my old receipts when I came across a parking fine from about a week ago. The offence? "Parking against traffic flow". I was with Lix that day, and we had just finished our business with our bridal photography studio, picking out the photos that were to go into... Continue Reading →
2.4km Training Stalled — For Now…
After a tremendous lot of running for the past 90 days (I've been surprisingly focused in my training this time round), I've been forced to take a break due to an illness. Feels like flu, probably is. Maybe it's my body telling me that I'd been running too much too soon. It hurts quite a... Continue Reading →
Life
A cluttered out leads to cluttered in; life's a swirl now of "what's next?" and "how come?" and "damnit get the f*** out of here!" and "leave me alone!"; but at the very same time it's got "ohmagawd this is great!" and a good "you serious?" and "wow." I sit at my desk plotting and... Continue Reading →
Back from Taiwan!
I haven't written here for so long I think it's probably time for me to write something, eh? Just to let you know (if by any chance you're interested) I just recently got back from Taiwan where Lix and I got our pre-wed photos taken. You wouldn't believe how different Lix looked on that day,... Continue Reading →
The Bus Ride
On my right, an open patch of grass with varying heights, with trees scattered randomly; leaves bustled as an impatient wind waltzed past. A beautiful pre-sunset sky provided the perfect backdrop. (Hot as it was outside, I was in air-conditioned goodness.) For a few seconds I lost myself. Perhaps this is what it's like to... Continue Reading →
I want to be so many things
These past few days I've been engrossed by Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. It's made me want to be a scientist, and a little of an activist and politician. Prior to that I was reading Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, a wonderful book given... Continue Reading →

Our Punngol Topaz Flat
I just realised I hadn't written about Lix and I getting our flat -- @ Punggol Topaz! I'm absolutely excited at the prospect of oving in -- even though it's still about four years away from being built and the keys being handed over to us o_O. The flat selection process itself was a thrilling... Continue Reading →
My 2011 Personality
Over the years I've pretty regularly written about the results of the personality tests I take. The majority of the tests I take tend to be that of the MBTI-type, which I find one of the most insightful personality tests, as well as one where the results I find are generally accurate. For 2011 I've... Continue Reading →
