I was on the escalator with KJ and Xy in Paragon today and overhead the conversation of woman who made absolutely no effort at keeping her opinions to herself.
She was speaking in mandarin so this is a rough translation.
Seeing children everywhere makes me so sian (sick)! It’s still better during school exams period, less [...]

CSI: Ratatouille
Posted in Daily musings on November 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »
One of the first few nights after we returned from our vacation, I heard a small commotion in the kitchen downstairs. The next morning, we found out that we had a rat problem in the house.
I did not think much of it. Maybe it was just a visiting rat and will just leave when it [...]
23 Questions

I am having a bout of post-lunch, pre-holiday blues and looking for some brief distraction at work.
Here is, a meme about 23 questions.
1. Grab a book nearest to you, turn to page 18 and find line 4.
..recover tax charged to it on the transfer of assets.. (CCH Quick Reads – Goods and Services [...]
Halloween
Posted in Daily musings, Out and about on October 31, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The estate that I live in houses quite a number of American families. This is mainly because the SAS is just a short 5 minutes walk away.
Every Halloween, someone (either the school or a group of enthusiastic American parents) organises an evening Halloween parade in my estate. Over the years, it has grown from [...]

Xy has this habit of grabbing my arm and using it as her bolster. She’d stir in our bed in the middle of the night, sometimes calling me in her sleep (mah-mee… mah-mee..!). She’d grope around for my arm and once she found it, she snuggles in the nook of my elbow and eventually goes [...]
Our weekend routine

Our weekends usually start with breakfast with the gramps at a nearby coffee shop.
Here is Xy playing with our food money.
Then we return home, cook the little ones’ meals, catch a brief breather. After Xy wakes up from her nap, we feed and change her and head out.
Ms Poh likes to have some [...]
Off day

I like it when a public holiday falls on a Saturday because our office is usually closed on the following Monday.
Since it was a non-working day for me, I went about my off-day routine – I had breakfast with KJ near his office and worked a couple of hours there. Then I ran a [...]
My new toy

So I took the plunge and bought a new digital camera, the Sony TX-1.
Image borrowed from Sony
Truth be told, my old camera (also a Sony, a T-100) was severely under-utilized. We already carry around KJ’s DSLR (again a Sony, A100 – this is what you would expect when one works for the company) on [...]

It was as if my head was in the clouds recently. I kept making blunders that it is not funny!
Just today, I discovered that I deleted my plane tickets confirmation for my vacation. There was a brief panic (did I even book the tickets?) until I realised I could call the airline and ask for [...]
