Ina and I have been joining this jogging group at UOB centre on Tuesdays and there’s this sculpture in front of the building that I’ve always seen but never really bothered to look at closely.
I always thought the sculpture was Read More →
Yes, I did! My mother hates it. But I haven’t been this excited about anything for a long time. No. I don’t get paid. It’s actually serious volunteer work and I had to go through a screening process and I’m midway through the 3 month training. It’s kinda nerdy geeky in a way but I’m surprised most of the volunteers are relatively normal people (like me!). Most are professionals - which is pretty admirable coz had I been working I think this zoo thingy would be heavy on the commitment side.
On training days, I have to wake up at 6 am to get to the zoo at 9 am, and anyone who knows me knows I’m NOT a morning person. So yeah the first few training days, I was mostly disoriented and kept forgetting stuff.
And I can imagine people thinking something to the tune of - “Huh??? Zoo?? Uh-why??” First, let me emphasize Read More →
I only got to post this now but this was a few weeks ago. This is me, Jenm, Majel and Majel’s friend Jolly during her recent trip to Singapore. We met up at my favorite black pepper crab place - Bayshore Delicious. Yeah, the ambiance doesn’t look too appetizing but the food is much much better than the seafood restaurants at the tourist-y places. Plus, if I’m going to savor those crabs, I don’t want to have to worry about poise and whether I have black pepper sauce on my cheeks.
Watch out generation z! This little guy is gonna be a heartthrob.
We just recently watched this movie Warlords starring Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Takeshi Kaneshiro on DVD.
I wasn’t expecting much from it because there wasn’t a lot of buzz when it came out in the theatres last year. But I like chinese “kung fu” movies in general plus Andy Lau and Jin Cheng Wu aka Takeshi Kaneshiro, whom I had a big crush on when I was in high school, was there.
This tag came from Calvin so I can have something to blog about. Kung kelan naman tumanda na ko saka pa ko nag a-answer ng mga tags. 
So here we go:
Thanks to everyone who remembered me today.
Yes, today is my birthday! Days before, Jorey’s been asking me what I want to do because he wants to do something big for my birthday. There’s so many things I want to do like go to Bali, or Bangkok, Europe, upgrade my dSLR, or get a decent lens with IS, (buy lens or get an alpha 350?), buy an iMac, eat french food. So many things that it’s hard to choose just one. So we ended up deciding to try the buffet dinner at the Ritz Carlton. That’s so typical of me to end up with buffet dinner. I fear I may end up hungry if I go for a french dinner. As for my techie gadgets, I have till the next IT show in September to think it over.
Whenever we don’t have guests, Jor and I have been sleeping in the guest room because it’s cheaper to use aircon there since it’s a smaller room with a bigger bed and TV. This is our little contribution to climate change. I sleep on the side of the bed near the window.
We were supposed to go to the driving range the morning of Saturday but when I woke up it was still very dark and it was raining quite hard.
