Posted on 15 Nov 20065 Mar 2017   by CY

From This Moment On

Posted on 13 Nov 20065 Mar 2017   by Ling

Have I Gained Weight…?

Posted on 10 Nov 20065 Mar 2017   by Ling

That’s really the fear every bride, and heck bridegroom too, has when they go for their final gown and suit fitting just before the Big Day. While our Ang Moh best man, Matt, was off at Vivo City and Labrador

Posted on 3 Jun 20065 Mar 2017   by CY

The pictures turned out quite alright, which is surely a good testimony to the skill of our photographer at Precious Moments, Tien Sheng. In fact, they turned out better than either of us had expected – so much so that

Getting Band-ed

Posted on 24 Apr 20065 Mar 2017   by CY

Tradition may say who should be the party to choose the wedding bands, but we figured since I’ve already chosen the engagement ring, Ling would get the say on the other one. So, for the month of March, we hunted

Do I have bad breath?

Posted on 3 Apr 2006   by Ling

You tell me! It is quite an embarrassment but yes, my students do ‘tell’ me about it when I speak. Their body language is unmistakeable. Yeah, I do feel very conscious of myself when I caught their non-verbal gestures. So

An adventure ends, another begins

Posted on 28 Jan 2006   by CY

This is my last day in Perth, and I’ll be flying back to Singapore for good in a few hours’ time. It hasn’t been a long 3 years. In fact, the time I spent in Perth seemed to whiz past

I wish I could fly

Posted on 15 Jan 2006   by CY

No matter how many times I fly, I never feel comfortable onboard an airplane. When I’m flying, I experience the whole range of emotions that run from “a little terrified”, “terrified”, to “absolutely terrified”. Yeah, I know that flying is

Do the Likes Repel?

Posted on 14 Jan 2006   by Ling

Call it the intricacies of life. 1 + 1 = 1. The bible defies math…or did it define math? Life is not so simple. The likes can attract. Yup, two introverted persons who have pessimistic tendencies can complement each other.

Hey, you’re TEFed!!

Posted on 15 Apr 200425 Jun 2016   by CY

I received a particularly happy bit of news two days ago; a paper I’d co-written had been accepted for a conference that will be hosted at the National University of Singapore in June this year. Even then, although this isn’t

Is this war?

Posted on 25 Mar 20045 Mar 2017   by CY

I saw a horrific image on the television today – a scared boy surrounded by soldiers, many of them equally nervous, pointing guns at him. This boy was wearing a coat, and underneath it, wrapped around him was 8 kilograms

Where Do You Want To Go Today?

Posted on 27 Mar 2003   by CY

Curtin University has a health and counseling services department situated in a nice building just opposite the library, and I was there last week to see if I should be worried about a skin problem that had been bugging me
