Day 01 — Your favourite song I have quite a few favourites, but this song is worth mentioning here. I love OLIVIA inspi’ REIRA (TRAPNEST)’s “A Little Pain”. It is sung by none other than the lovely Olivia Lufkin and was used for the anime version of NANA. I love how the song sounds a little sad yet beautiful. It…
USS roller coasters
No, it doesn’t stand for U.S. Submarine. Apparently, that’s how Singaporeans call Universal Studios Singapore. I was all confused when my sis kept talking about USS. I was like “why is she talking about going to see an American submarine when we don’t have one here?” But you see, I had just come home from four years in USA and…
remembering my professor
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. To think that I heard of the news from a friend’s Facebook status. It truly sucks to be so far away… I know how people say 人老病死, death is a natural thing when you’re old, but I couldn’t believe that Prof. Goodman was gone. I never got to say goodbye before I left…
new theme, new look
After a few hours of tweaking the code, I’m finally satisfied with how my blog looks…or so I think. I decided to switch to a free theme because I realized I was missing out on all the functions of WordPress with that self-made theme which lasted for a long time already. I guess I will find time some day to…
not made for tech dinosaurs
Today I learnt that spanking new phones with all the bells and whistles were not made for tech dinosaurs like my parents. It works out for my dad because he’s contented with just a simple phone that has call and text functions. However, for tech dinosaurs like my mum who wants the latest technology, it’s a whole different story. Last…
in love with USA
I can’t believe it. First we got Carl’s Jr., then we got Quiznos, now there’s even Church’s Chicken?! But it doesn’t even beat the taste of KFC! So how come so many USA food chains are opening in Singapore?! I was flipping through today’s edition of TODAY and saw this… Yes, it’s called Texas Chicken in Singapore. I saw the…
my life as of now
No, this blog is not dead yet. At least it was for a long long while. I have since graduated with a B.S. in Advertising with honors (proud of that!) I’ve completed my graduation trip to L.A, Hawai’i, Macau, China, and HK. I’ve packed a little of my room and stuff. And now…I’m officially unemployed. I’ve finally come to the…
a week of self-discovery
Last week, I travelled to New York for AAF Most Promising Minority 2011. It was a 3-day award ceremony + professional seminars + recruitment fair. While many would say that they received valuable lessons about the advertising industry. I would say that this trip was one of self-discovery. On the last day of the program, a top executive from Leo…
la cinco peso
“[some mumbo jumbo] la cinco peso!” After hearing so many street vendors yelling that on the streets of Mexico City, it’s stuck in my head now. Things I learned so far in/about Mexico: The only way to get onto the metro is to push. Like just fuckin’ shove yourself into the metro no matter how crowded it is. Graciousness gets…
silver fish hand catch
As requested by Nad, here’s the Old Spice ads to have a good laugh over. Some things just don’t die… Not going to post all the video replies to tweets, just the finale. Even Grover was inspired by the Old Spice guy.
