There was a column about weddings in Singapore which appeared in the Sunday Times last week which I thought was really interesting:
“It’s All Doom and Groom”
Basically the writer is talking about how it seems like nowadays couples want to outdo one another and host the “wedding of the year”, so to speak. They go to [...]

Wedding season seems to be upon us once again. Or upon me, at least.
I’ve had three friends who had their weddings in the last few months, and I’ve got quite a few more to come in the next few months. And there are quite a few weddings lined up for next [...]
27 Dresses And “The Giver”
Monday, 7 July, 2008
You tend to appreciate a movie more when you can identify with some of the circumstances which the protagonists go through.
It makes you sit back and think.
Maybe that’s one reason why I enjoyed “27 Dresses”.
In the movie, Jane (Katherine Heigl) is the sweet helpful girl who never says “no” to her friends, and is always [...]
Looks, Money, Relationships
Sunday, 9 March, 2008
There was this highly entertaining exchange that went on in the Straits Times Life! section a few weeks back.
I wanted to link to it, but it was nowhere to be found online.
However, today I was thrilled to stumble upon it on someone’s blog.

Basically it started when a writer named Sandra Leong wrote a column in [...]
“Love Me, Spoil Me”
Sunday, 24 February, 2008
There was this cover story on Sunday Life! today which was really interesting.
I found it so interesting I had to write a post on it.
Basically it talked about how a recent survey found that S’pore women had extremely high expectations of men when it came to dating.
The full article can be read (here).
I shall quote [...]
Life Lessons
Wednesday, 8 August, 2007
(Note: Slightly melodramtic post. I’m writing this late at night and will probably regret what I’ve written come tomorrow morning, but ah well.)
…
If there is ONE thing I’ve learnt this year, it is to cherish whatever relationships you currently have at the moment, because nothing stays the way you expect it to be forever.
This year alone, [...]
The Height Of Self-Centeredness
Saturday, 30 June, 2007
I chanced upon this YouTube video. Apparently it’s one of the most viewed YouTube clips recently.
If I’m not wrong, this clip is from one of the MTV “Sweet 16″ episodes.
Now, I’ve watched my fair share of “Sweet 16″, because the way many of the princesses behave on the show is simply astounding.
However, I think [...]
Friendship And The Art Of Listening
Wednesday, 13 June, 2007
FACT: Everyone loves a good listener.
This is something which I’ve always believed in, and will continue to do so.
Show me someone who doesn’t like to have someone else around to be a good listener to him or her.
Wanna know a secret? I think everyone likes to talk about himself or herself. Better still, everyone likes [...]
Before Sunrise
Thursday, 3 May, 2007
Thanks to my free time, I finally caught the classic ‘95 movie “Before Sunrise” on DVD starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, twelve years after I had wanted to see it but never did.
Ah well, better late than never right?
This movie is not to be confused with the recent ‘04 sequel “Before Sunset”, starring the same two [...]
A Discussion On “You’ve Got Mail”
Wednesday, 17 January, 2007
Joe: So what’s his handle?
Kathleen: Uh…
Joe: I’m not going to write him, is that what you’re worried about? You think I’m going to e-mail him?
Kathleen: Alright - NY152.
Joe: N-Y-one-five-two. One hundred and fifty-two. He’s… 152 years old. He’s had 152 moles removed, so now he’s got 152 pock marks on his face.
Kathleen: The number of [...]
