Today is the last day I spend as a 23 year old. I experienced family warmth like never before when my grandmother passed away in February this year. While I’ve heard countless dramatic stories of how children of their late parents fight over the inheritance money, mine united like bits and pieces of little metal [...]

brand new place, brand new adventures
posted September 16, 2010 2:05 am
There is a mathematical explanation to why this space is such a dead place to be. I spend 12 hours a day with about 20 over people over 20 in a brand new place called Youth Asia @ The Top. I distribute the remaining hours on sleep, food, driving, petrol kiosk visiting, counterstriking, brotherpoking, and [...]

Long holidays wear me out quicker than being utterly swamped in loads of work – I remember overworking myself during YOUTH’08, where I had to frantically manage-edit a 60 page magazine, run a convention for 500 people, and assist project director [...]

Back in 2006 when I was preparing to start my final year in Uni, I took up my very first job (the 2 month kindergarten teacher stint in 2005 doesn’t count).

My 82 year old grandmother, whom I fondly call Popo, loves it when I play the piano for her. Years ago, whenever she came to visit, she’d gently call me from my room, and requests I play a few tunes for her. Amongst the many I could manage, her favorite tune was Teresa Teng’s Yue [...]
