Sniffle

01Jul07

Wimbledon is fun! Girls in cute outfits and boys throwing their rackets around. With the weather like it is, and us feeling slightly flu-y, we’ve been staying in, watching a lot of matches while curled up in bed with the heating on. Not a bad way to spend rainy days, I must say. In the […]


Another thing that made the trip even more memorable was the Venice Biennale. Naturally, when I found out (two days before the fact) that we were going, I googled it, checked the articles on The NYT, travel websites, everything. I got an even bigger kick when I realised that we would be there during the […]


So He Says

I should be wearing a sign to warn people when I walk down the street this week. At one point today, I seriously considered melting a chunk of chocolate in the pan and pouring it down my throat. But then I saw this: (via The Travelling Hungryboy) Now I want my BAN-MIAN!

People who make me want to have kids.

It seems that wonders will never cease: My father is in love with the boy. Don’t know how he did it. Can’t even wrap my mind around the fact that it all went so splendidly. What can I say, he’s got the magic touch! It went well. I think it suffices to say this: That […]


Father, Father

26Apr07

I mentioned the fact that my parents were coming to visit. What I neglected to say was that it has been postponed to next week – which is why I am still here, writing up a post, instead of banging my head against a white cushioned wall with my arms strapped around my torso. I […]


This is not good. I’m feeling the effects of the trip to Florence and IT IS NOT GOOD. Reminds me of when I returned to Singapore after being in Cambodia for a week. Basically spent days pissing and moaning about how shitty the Singapore air is, how tiresome the crowds are, how grotesquely capitalist and […]


We’re back! Italy. I’m seriously at a loss for words. But I’m in love with Firenze. It’s a troublesome affair though. Like falling for a beautiful girl, but wanting to shut her up the minute she opens her mouth because dammit, she’s bloody loud and irritating. I have 607 photos to show for it, even […]


We had a conversation the other day. My mom and I. Talked about, said things that, used words which, six months ago we wouldn’t have. The lightness in her voice. I put down the phone after, so wildly taken aback that I stood still for a few moments at the kitchen counter. I felt her […]
