Unexpectedly, I found myself without any lunch appointments today after a whirlwind of going out with other people, so I decided to check out the cheap necklaces at this shop I passed by.  That didn't take too long, so I decided to walk near Amoy.  I usually walk along Amoy Street all the way to Raffles Place, but today since I didn't actually have to get to Raffles Place I took a detour.

I realise that I write less on this blog, but I'd like to say that what I write is truer to myself.  I was reading this post that I wrote on Flight or roots that I found especially apt now.  But I'm not going to write about it right now when I'm at work and full and happy. On the last two points, I am full and happy because of very good food.  Here's where I try to make up names for the people

Today I took the earliest train, and ended up at Raffles Place about 15 minutes earlier.  I decided to use the extra time to walk along the riverside. It's a good thing I did, for I saw a canoe race!  They came from the helix bridge and paddled along the perimeter of the encatchment area past Marina Bay Sands and where I was standing.  After that, they went past Fullerton Bay Hotel, the Merlion,

Let me make 3 things clear before I start: 1) This is a tribute to Steve Jobs 2) Apple has had a profound impact on my life. 3) I've never owned a single Apple product. Before you get angry and start yelling at me for point 3, let me tell you my story. My first interaction with Apple was in my teens. Computers were new at that point - I didn't even own a computer and the only thing I was

For some reason, lately I've developed quite an aversion to forms.  Whenever I fill them, a couple of worries surface in my mind: 1) What if I fill it wrongly? 2) These boxes aren't enough to describe who I am 3) Why can't I select multiple options? And so on and so forth. With all these concerns you would think free form fields would make me happier, but no!  Instead, I worry "what if I

I have been dreaming, but I haven't had a dream particularly worth recording until last night. It was a long dream, of which I'll only record a part.  In this part of the dream, I was at a kelong.  For some reason, this particular kelong was keeping dolphins not only in the kelong nets, but also in additional nets that were bound tightly to the kelong.  Even though the dolphins could come up for

I went out with Ling to the beach today. This is the second time that we've gone cycling together - the first time was 2 weeks ago. This is really fun and I really should have asked her to join me a long time ago, since I live so near to East Coast. However, Ling lives really far away and that's why I was surprised that she would be willing to go cycle by East Coast. Maybe I should ask Tracy to

I realised that I do quite a lot of extraordinary things on a regular basis, but don't write them down for posterity.  Take today for instance.  My colleagues asked me a question "I have organised my folders nicely, and I want to copy just the folders to my archives, without any emails. How do I do that?" A quick Google search revealed that no one had managed to just copy the folders alone.  One

A combination of this post on talent and its responses, Bennie K's version of Satisfaction (link to be provided later) and thoughts of my friend who wants to get out of this country prompted this post. =============== Once upon a time, my dream was to travel the world. Not just as a tourist - I wanted to work my way around the world. I wanted to stay in different countries and immerse myself in

Today I went cycling at East Coast with Ling.  Most notably, I FINALLY made it to the Coastal Park Connector, which I'd somehow missed the last few times.  It wasn't as spectacular as I'd expected, despite my colleagues praising it a fair bit. However, East Coast has changed a LOT.  It actually looks like a place that I'd hang out at now, with not just tide breakers but also stone walls by the

Where else can I be? To round up the sorry saga in the last post, I've gotten back all my money from the Japan trip. The part which is not so happy making is that there are still loose ends from the Sydney post, part of which is the reason that I can't post about it just yet.  It's contributed to a sense of dissatisfaction about my friends and who exactly they are. Making matters worse is

(Edited - decided that it wasn't passive aggressiveness.  Oops) For the first time, I realised that my Business Chinese class is a good thing. Without it, I may not have noticed the hint I was given today. To give some context, due to some concerns about a damaged nuclear plant in Japan I had to start cancelling my arrangements in Japan.  While I knew the rest of Japan was ok, I had to pass

Since I started writing my last blog entry, too many things have happened.  Since then I have, in brief: - Been reading up on the Japan earthquake and nuclear crisis - Started stressing about my trip and stressing other people out - Prepared for a chinese test - Fallen sick. I wish I could say that my thoughts were as brief.  Since 11 March I have had many thoughts, some annoyed, some downright

(Note: I wrote this on 11 March 2011, but didn't post it for some reason) I did some budgetting so that I could figure out how much money to change before my trip to Japan.  I have suddenly discovered that I love numbers.  It's a good way for me to get my head around it in a different way from words, and a lot faster too.  And sometimes numbers can tell a story.  For instance, when one

(Edited to remove work stuff) In other news, my exercise regime appears to be starting to pay off - while my weight still fluctuates like crazy, now it's fluctuating in the 2 kg range.  If I keep this up I might be able to get to my ideal weight and fluctuate around that instead! *wavy arms of glee*  One of the best things that I started was hip hop classes - I work up a good sweat each lesson (

Happy Chinese New Year! I would have posted earlier, but I was having too much fun. Too much fun due to the holidays being too close today - one month to prepare for Chinese New Year is no joke! Especially after the Christmas and New Year Holidays, which are always a double whammy. However, after this the next holiday is very far away. =PPP Hopefully I can take leave despite disappearing in

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's a bit late, but I didn't post new year wishes on any of my other websites so I thought it would be apt here. =)  After all, I always update this blog on festive occasions! Though I seem to have missed Christmas last year... But who cares?  It's a new year anyway! And it's been quite an interesting start.  For one, I've been exercising a lot more regularly.  Namely, running

After a litany of emails yesterday, it's confirmed - we have our accomodations for Kyoto and Tokyo. I think Tracy said it best when she wrote "This feels like some kind of macross assembling an uber mecha sequence with various little individually piloted parts joining up to form a major kick ass bot with a HUGE gun."  First, we bought the tickets, which firmly put us in Japan for that time

Remember I said in the last post that my friend Tracy wanted to get ALL THE THINGS done in December? It turns out there's a pretty good reason for that - the rooms that we wanted to stay in are no longer available! In December! When we're travelling in April. This reminds me of the fiasco that we had with the plane tickets. I was monitoring the SIA website, when suddenly the deal that I had been

Today is my 25th birthday. Looking back on what I've wrote, I realised that I've changed a lot. I still remember fondly the times when I used to write my blog under my desk during Literature class (I never quite figured out why it was conducted in a computer room...) Now, I can post during work, but I tend to update my other websites. ^^ In one of my posts, I wrote that I didn't know what I

It's been a while since I last posted here, but I'm not going to let this place fall in total disuse. In fact, it's even part of my goals to not let this go - I have too many memories here to simply discount this part of my life.What triggered this renaissance? It appears my quarter life crisis is impending, and in response I've written up a small list of goals for myself to follow. They seem

I am both happy and a little annoyed that when I search my name using Google, the hits I get are not actually about me. Instead, the majority of the links lead to a doctorate student originally from Hong Kong who studied in Hungary. That's actually quite cool, but it's definitely not me!I guess I should be more happy since I've done my best to eliminate links to myself on the internet, even

I just finished watching Julie and Julia. A blog was one of the key elements of the movie, which is why I was inspired to come back and write on this blog. I took a glance at what I've written in my blog long time ago and what I've written recently, and came to the conclusion that I had probably realised a long time ago - I won't write in this blog as often.Not because that I have nothing to say.

The business trip to Shanghai was a lot of fun, even the part where I had three straight days of back-to-back meetings. But as cameras aren't allowed at meetings that left me only 3 days to take my photos of Shanghai. Here are some highlights.This pic shows the clouds reflected over a nice blue ocean:The weather in the first few days was ridiculously sunny. That's why I got an unimpended view of

I need this to cheer myself up.The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.~Elizabeth Kubler

I meant to post about several things since I last wrote, namely Up and certain adventures that I've had with my life. But the real thing that started me posting today is something that I learnt at this talk I went to yesterday. The speakers took an example apparently commonly used in business school: they filled a jar with big stones, then little ones, and then sand. It was apparently a metaphor

I haven't posted lately because there have been a couple of upsets in my life, mostly beyond my control but still upsetting nevertheless. It's related to more than one issue, so I took some time to try and sort it out. I'm still sorting them out right now, and won't speculate how long it's gonna take.There are however, some bright spots. Today I went out with a bunch of people from my work batch

This place is like a warm security blanket that I run to every once in a while when something major comes up. I can still remember the times when I actually typed up blog entries under the table when I was in Literature classes, keeping my eyes on the teacher while writing my innermost thoughts. Thank goodness for having classes in the computer lab.I guess that was just a mental detour to say

Today was an exercise in nostalgia for me, and to finish it off I guess I'll write in my blog.Lately I've had too much time to think because I've been stuck at home on this "split operations" thing that the company has rolled out. While working from home is more relaxing, it's also boring because I don't get to talk to my colleagues. There's only me and my mother, and while our relationship has

Yesterday, as part of my friend's project, I took a bunch of photos of what I ate. There's a reason why I'm not a foodie (despite liking food) and I think the pics show why.

It is however, my first day back in office. Phew! That's a lot of work I have.During the CNY break, I watched a lot of movies.

HAPPY NEW YEARYesterday at my work place all my colleagues were wishing each other "See you next year!" It was funny and made me feel good about this year. Here's to everyone! *CHEERS*

A couple of days ago, I got the response again that "This blog doesn't sound like you". I still don't know what to say in reply to that. Strangely enough, I wasn't as angry as the last time someone had told me that my blog didn't quite sound like me. Was it because this time I had the same opinion? I'm not sure.So I've outed myself to some colleagues at the workplace. Fair's fair though, since I

There is nothing but abject horror when someone who prides herself on writing sits down to write and finds that she can no longer do so with ease anymore.This is not a new phenomena. I've been having trouble writing for quite a while already, if the long lapses between posts on this blog can be any indication. Initially, it started with fanfiction, with my sense of imagination somehow killed dead

Last night I went with Jie to the NUS Conservatory for a concert. The performer was Jacques Rouvier, a professor from the Paris National Music Conservatory who was here on exchange. I got to know about it when I dropped in (purely by accident) on some lunchtime performances at the ACM. And since I liked piano and the concert was free, I figured why not? Besides, he was playing Debussy (one of my

This post is brought to you from my new laptop! It's a teeny tiny IBM, which is dwarved by its bigger counterparts, the LCD screen and the laptop. Even the PORT is about the same size as it.Despite the size I find myself quite satisfied with it. We'll see how well it stands up to the inspection life. I'll be bringing it out of the office tomorrow, and for quite an extended period of time to boot!

As promised, these are my three photos for the day. Morning:The sun this morning was very bright and hot. Almost abnormally so - I took a photo of the glare to show how hot it was. Usually the sun isn't bright enough to hurt my eyes, but today it definitely was.The photo is of an MRT station platform. It tends to get crowded in the mornings with all the people going to work. I'd originally wanted

Yesterday, spurred by a scene from a window, I've decided to do a photoshoot for each day for a week starting from today. I'll be taking photos at 3 specific times: in the morning, at lunch and after work. The uploading of the photos might be a little delayed though, since I tend to zone out when I come back home. I've already taken the first photo of today, and for a rushed shot I'm pretty happy

A week late, but better late than never! Last week I went to the Air Force Open House. I hadn't actually remembered it, but a colleague mentioned it on the Friday just before, so I thought Why not? And it dovetails quite nicely with my current Transformers obsession.There had been some initial fears over it being rainy, but it was blue skies. Blue, HOT skies.Most of the people say that it's not

The new batch: Super efficient or super unfriendly?So, let's see. My company just had a hiring exercise, so we have a lot of new people running around. This perfectly coincides with our recreational club committee stepping down, and naturally we try to recruit from the new batch.DENIED! Apparently none of them are interested in running for the committee. Or at least, none of the ones that I don't

I was about to crow to the world (or at least my writing journal, which I won't link here because I do want to keep some parts of my life separate) that I had figured out a way around my writer's block: editing. I was editing something my friend had wrote, and for once, the ideas were flowing around my head in the form of words. Frabulous day! Caloo! Calay! I wanted to cheer, but then I turned

I've had the lack of desire to post lately, which is bad. You see, I have writer's block.It's not just a simple kind of writer's block either. I think at this point, I've been struggling with it for over a year. And I have to admit, pretty terrifying. Think about it as an extra sense. You can live without it, but you have one less way of intepretating the world. That, to me, is as terrifying as

So, in a bid to stick to what I promised to do and talk more in this blog, here I am!Right now it's close to the end of lunch break, but I can hear some of my colleagues talking. One of them is getting married, so they're discussing wedding dresses and are advising the bride-to-be not to wear a dress that covers up too much. I'm not joining them because right now, my handphone just SIMPLY refuses

Specially rushed home to watch the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony last night. I must say it was AMAZING and definitely didn't fail my expectations. I had already been pretty impressed with Beijing's precision in its performances, but this time the precision had stunning choreography to go along with it. Zhang Yimou's colour motifs get a bit irritating in the reel mode, but with large scale

I think the trouble is that my Real Life gets a bit annoying and I can't post about it because it's about work. I would really like to sub letters for people's names, but given that I've let my real name slip on this blog before it might be really easy to figure out who. Besides, the real names of the 3I peeps are floating around, and that makes it really hard to do stuff.But more importantly, I

Today I was really LUCKY. Or I just missed the boat, if you want to see it that way, but I think it all worked out in the end!Went out with the 3I people for Wz's birthday. Part of our plans was to go to the Toys and Comic Convention at Suntec. It was JAM-PACKED. We went down one particularly horrible passageway, and were just wondering why it was so bad when... we saw the sign FREE COMICS. And

I was trying to do this meme that I saw: take 6 to 8 photos a day and post about them. But I've discovered that although my life is pretty interesting, I can't take photos of a lot of the things that I see due to confidentiality.For example:On Thursday, I went up to the Managing Director's office (equivalent in outside firms is CEO) to check the route that I would have to take the CEO of the bank

I made muffins today. My dad suddenly got the idea from a newspaper recipe, and grumbling I went along with him. To tell you the truth, I haven't been cooking for quite a bit, so this came a little out of left field for me.I'd forgotten that I actually sort of like cooking. Even though I haven't actually cooked myself in a while, I watch my mom a lot. And I'm pretty good at figuring out

I should not go running around toy sites when bored.Case in point: today I go and search the Transformers section of Toy'R'Us for fun. It was the same old same old... BUT WAIT. WHAT'S THIS ABOUT A JETFIRE + GRIMLOCK PACK???I immediately go into spastic fits of glee. For those who are unaware, I have an unholy love for Transformer planes, including a character called Jetfire. OMG! I go. I want!

Hi everyone! This is my new blog, so please transfer your links here.For those who are wondering why swshards, basically it stands for Shattered Woven Shards, which was the uber long name of my blog. Hopefully that'll make it easier for you to remember. If not, you can always poke me for a reminder of the address.I'm thinking of uh, drawing my next blog layout. We'll see how that goes.

What Gladys Chong MeansYou are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life.You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone.Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.You are light hearted and accepting.

I'd recently got addicted to this show called Pushing Daisies, which is a brightly coloured show about death. =D It's about a guy who can bring people/animals back to life by touching them, but if he touches them again they will die. There's another catch: If he keeps them alive for longer than a minute, something else will have to have to die in their stead. But he still can't touch them after

Today was one of the most awesome days that I've had in a while. It started out normally enough, with me back at the office at MAS. I never really realised how much my desk feels like home. Putting up my pass in its usual spot dangling from the cupboard handle, I actually felt comfortable. I even cleared spaces for my cactus and my Robot Heroes, and it felt really good.Then I headed for my

Yesterday, I was working on IchiRuki contest fic and generally being very lazy when Siu Qey said, "Zhiyong is going to watch Ratatouille, and Weizhen might be going, do you want to go?"So that is how I ended up at the old Cathay cinema at 3.30, watching Ratatouille. The show was very charming, and the animation was really good. The way the rats moved and how the hair on the rats were rendered

I've finally managed to get the Transformers Robot Heroes! Not Mirage and Starscream, which I was eyeing, but Jazz and Thundercracker. Good enough. =D They're currently on my desk at home, but they'll be going off to my office once I get back from inspection.Too bad inspection is for 6 weeks. That's LONG.

Watched 881 today with the 3I guys and Siu Qey. Being a Saturday it was expensive endeavour, but it was worth it for the company. Not to mention that we had a present for Mark.

This was a crazy week, involving rigorous training, school stuff and a new fandom.Let's start with the training first. Along with the other Trainee Officers (TOs) we were blocked into a theatrette and made to undergoing training on the banking sector and the derivatives it used. Derivatives aren't the kind that you see in maths, but the financial version that involves funky ways of moving money

Far too busy with training to even be physically at my computer. I wish that I could say that the training is engaging and compelling, but it isn't. Even though it's about the various departments in MAS, I've been guilty on zoning out on more than a few of them. And now I'm still tired.I want to write! I need to write! But all I do is listen to music.

Tonight was the company dinner and dance. It was at Raffles Convention centre, and we booked the WHOLE of Raffles Ballroom. Surprisingly for a place on top of a shopping centre, it was rather glitzy and nicely decorated.I was there early because I was supposed to do ushering, but I ended up handing out door gifts instead. They were pretty nice files with pens inside (and I was lucky enough to get

Thank you Lynn, Tracy and Jie for the well-wishes for my first day of work card. It is really lovely, thank you! I think I will take it to work and put it somewhere where I can look at it every day.Today I got an MP3 player, a Sony NW-HD5. It was on offer at Harvey Norman, so I picked it up on a whim. It is QUITE AWESOME. Even though parts of the music transfer thing is retarded (I have my

Still in the learning phase of work, so all I had to do today was plow through a bunch of books and reading material. My workplace seriously needs some plants. I was staring at the computer screen and books all day and my eyes are really exhausted. Plants would be good. I came on time but the office was entirely EMPTY so I spent my time decorating my desk. I finished long before the main group of

First day of work today and all in all it was pretty good. It was a WEIRD day though. It started out with sitting in the HR department and talking to a new guy who I had met before but totally forgot who I was. Luckily he now remembers who I am and is in the department affilated to mine. XD Coincidentally, he's also working on a system I'm supposed to use, and so I'm gonna harrass him when

I was reading some of my old e-mails to friends in JC and I realised that I was so quaint. I would write about the silliest things: the weather, things I heard, funny metaphors to their questions. I can't believe that anyone took me seriously after that.Talking about writing, I really miss writing both e-mails and handwritten letters. I was so busy in university that I stopped writing to Lynn.

This is the 550th post of my blog, so I'm going to make it count.I want to start a new chapter. I don't want to look at the past and think of what could have been. And there's no better time for a change than now. I'm starting work soon, and I want to throw open all the doors I can find, even those that try to hide. I want to take every opportunity. I want to do all the things that I want to, and

Day 7: 16/5/2007Today was spent shopping. Both Myers and David Jones had sales and so my mom and I decided to go and check out the sale. The things were pretty expensive still, and so we were a little disappointed. I was randomly browsing through shoes when I found a very nice pair with no price tag. Curious, I asked for the price. It was $29, down from $50! That is why I am now the proud owner

Day 5: 14/5/2007After travelling outside of Perth for the past few days, today we stayed in Perth. Despite the chilly weather, we headed out from our hotel to walk to and along Swan River. It was quite close to our hotel, and we had no problems getting there. Again, we saw a lot of birds, but no cockatiels. Instead we saw a comorant and a darter. There were tons of seagulls, as always.We walked

Day 6: 15/5/2007A new day, and we wake up late.What happened was that my mom and I woke up several times during the night and so ended up sleeping over the time. We initially planned to wake up at 6.30am and go for breakfast at 7am. However, we ended up waking up at 7.30am.Still, catching bus 37 to King's Park was a relatively trouble-free experience. By readint the sign, we found out not all bus

Day 4: 13/3/2007AQWA (Aquarium of Western Australia) was on the cards today. However, to get there was quite the adventure. AQWA is at Hillary's Boat Harbour, a costal place much like Freemantle, except with less historical significance. Since it was on the outskirts of Perth, weh ad to take a train down. To make things even more complicated, there was no direct train to Hillary's Boat

Day 3: 12/5/2007Today I spent most of my day in Perth itself. As there aren't any buses running earlier than 10 am on Saturdays, we decided to take a walk to Perth Mint as it was only a block away. We also checked out a bunch of shops only the way, which included a bike shop. Cycling is supposed quite conveninent here, but the bicycle rental is quite strange. For 5 hours the rental is $15, but

Day 2: 11/5/2007Yesterday, much to my charin, a lot of things went wrong after I headed to bed. It started with me fretting about not receiving any of my expected calls. I jerked awake at 10:30 wondering why no one had called yet. My mom noticed something strange: our phone had a blinking light. She called the receptionist to find out why, and discovered that people had been trying to contact

A lot of firsts have been achieved in the past 24 hours.The journey started out with preparing to head out to the airport. While I've sent a few people off at the airport, it had been ages since I had last left for the airport with luggage bags. Seeing the familar

I've been feeling tired and restless, which is a really bad combination when trying to study. Too tired to concentrate and too restless to keep still and read.I feel like walking, writing, cycling by the beach... something other than being here in front of the computer, surrounded by textbooks. I want to do something.No hope of that though. Still another 3 more days to go to the end of my

It might not have been the best idea to go cycling yesterday, as now both my arms are badly sunburnt. Yeouch! Have been trying to treat it with both calamine and hazeline snow, with varying results. Left arm is slightly less cooked, but the right is still hot today. Hopefully my arm gets better soon.I've been wanting to write again lately, but despite having ideas out of the wazoo none of them

A can of Coke is most appropriate when one is exhausted. There's just enough caffeine to perk you up, but not enough to make you too hyper.I remember how during camp, when everyone was buying tiny cups of coffee from the vending machine I would get huge cups of Coke. It helped me re-hydrate (we had serious water shortage) and keep me awake (2 hours of sleep. Boo.)Spending far too much time in sch

It is a galling thought to find that exams are only a month away. This month, I don't feel prepared at all. I can't be: I've got too many projects to finish. At least AB311 is in a lull period, though with weekly deadlines for Cesim, it doesn't feel like it. Still, I'm not the one handling Cesim directly, and just monitoring on the sidelines keeps me sufficiently occupied.It's also usually around

AWESOME DAY!Today there was a lion dance in the marketplace downstairs of my house (this being the last day of the New Year). So my mom and I made time to watch it, since we liked last year's performance.Last year they did this awesome 'centipede' with oranges for the body and big red chillis for legs. The lions were supposed to eat the centipede and convert it into luck. According to

I forgot to mention this earlier, but Phantom of the Opera has extended its performance period, so I might be able to watch it. I still have no idea who to go with (family's not interested). Anyone wants to go for Phantom of the Opera after 3 May?I was looking through my banners and I remember I had a lot of fun making them. Feel like picking it up again but have no idea what to make yet.

The Chingay parade floats came down to my place today: we could see them from our flat. Quite pretty, though the music was so loud that I think if I were standing/driving close by my ears would be deafened. They're very colourful, though the detail gets a little lost from so high up. This year, people on floats doesn't seem to be as popular, though there was one float with live drummers. (Playing
