Never Say Die

Never give up. And I say this at the risk of sounding like the Energizer Bunny, but I’ll still say it.
Even if you only have a month to bring your company from rock bottom to rock solid, 2 weeks to study for an exam, a day to prepare for a job interview, 60 seconds to [...]

Lift Songs of Praise to the Lord

I was asked by my Care Group leader, a few days ago, to lead worship for care group meeting on Friday (today). I was scared out of my wits, to be frank. I don’t know why but I had to ask my two sisters and a few friends (who weren’t exactly helpful, eeks!) whether I [...]

He’s altogether lovely

A friend of mine, upon being told that Dutch Lady was one of the many dairy products deemed unsafe for consumption because of the whole tainted milk powder saga in China, freaked out. If I didn’t know her any better, I’d say she was hyperventilating (Hehe). Nothing wrong with freaking out. Even my dad did [...]

To the Bestest Dog in the Whole Wide World

Happy Birthday Nikki!

From your curly vurly friend, Joy and partner in crime, Priya.
The daredevil turned 6 today which would mean she’s essentially 42 (if what people say about 1 dog year being 7 human years is true). She’s almost 3 times my age! But she doesn’t look 42 to me at all. She still behaves [...]

Ribena Induced

I just finished a bottle of Ribena.
And I wondered, why do people drink wine (or any alcoholic drink for that matter) excessively?
Why? Ribena’s such a perfect substitute, no?
I’m being weird again, am I?
I scored a 6/9 for a geography essay. 6/9 may be mediocre to you, but to me, its a milestone.
It was such a [...]

Back in the game

There was a very memorable incident that happened in the 3rd year of my time in secondary school. I was selected to represent my class in an inter-class Plain English Speaking Competition (PESA). I gave a speech on ‘woman rights’ and successfully made it into the finals where I was up against a fellow schoolmate [...]

King Kong and Casper

The Alumni spokesperson of my college addressed us about our Prom Night the other day and she said it was going to be held in “Shang-gorilla”.
So I’m looking forward to having dinner in a lush jungle and if King Kong isn’t too busy chasing the Prom Queen contestants, I’ll take a picture with him.
Oh and [...]

Oat to Joy

Mr Shankar said if I pursued baking later on in life (or any sooner for that matter) it would result in a monopoly.
My special ingredient: my nails (and don’t worry, that’s just a silly joke made by a friend who thinks I should kick the habit).
Epiphany.

Joy?

Joy is walking to school in the crisp morning air with your friend for life.
Joy is coming back home to a bubbly sister who has bought a packet of Famous Amos cookies and milk to share with you.
Joy is discovering that she has already devoured them in a fit of impatience, having waited hours for [...]

And the award goes to…

We had a family gathering yesterday, to celebrate a young cousin’s birthday. A very memorable one.
My cousins decided they would do things a different way this year so they planned my family’s very own version of ‘Deal Or No Deal’ (guess what? I WON 50 cents!), ‘The Price is Right’ and… ‘The Oscars’. Yes, you [...]
