So once again I find myself in limbo, since the actual starting date of my job at cat high depends on a baby. I went there today just to pick up a few materials and meet people. It’s quite a pleasant looking place actually. I remember the last time I was there was for some [...]

After months of having my DNA destroyed by the photocopy machine, I finally have my own cubicle. For A WHOLE WEEK! Such a privilege has never been bestowed upon me before and I hope that I am suitably grateful. Strange isn’t it? Bet you’ve never heard anyone sound so happy over being stuck in a [...]
Knawit Remembers…

I was just reminiscing about writing for the school blog; the name of my column was Our Correct Views on Everything. (I inherited it from John and Denys, hence the ‘our’.) But when I went to look for the site, I just got “Internet explorer cannot display the webpage”, which was rather depressing.
Sad, Quiet Little Corners

Yesterday I was at Tanglin Shopping Centre having dinner with the humanities department. It was quite good, except that the shopping centre itself was rather musty-smelling. The last time I was there was years and years ago, when I was a tiny little kiddie buying ballet shoes and leotards. (Yeah, revelation. I used to do [...]
The Wrong Side of the Bed and Revolting Materialism

I think I’ve written about something like this before. People all have little taboos that cannot happen in the morning or it will screw the entire day up. I’m adding grey skies to my list (which previously had only one item – running out of milk for my cereal). This morning I woke up and [...]
Picture Perfect (I Wish…)

Went to take a passport photo today for my university card. I went to the same place I usually do, goodness knows why. Every time I go to get my photo taken something always screws up. Like I blink, or my hair suddenly flies into a mess or my eyebrows decide to position themselves assymetrically. [...]
Die Freckles, Die!!

Since January this year I have been a religious user of sunblock. I am one of those unfortunate people that can never tan. I just burn. Which means that I shall never achieve that healthy bronzed look that people like Jessica Alba are blessed with and have to settle for a “I don’t get out [...]
One Day I’ll Fly Away…

There are still 4 months on the countdown but I already know the day I’m going to leave. A couple of days ago the mother went into planning overdrive (blame her for passing down the bouts of paranoia to yours truly). As a result, the flight to London is booked and as I’m typing this, [...]
Feelings, Nothing but Feelings…

Don’t usually blog twice a day, but I was struck by something just as I was teaching my brother lit. It has just occured to me how woefully inadequete the words happy and sad are. They’re rather bland really. In fact, they seem kind of abstract. Ecstasy I understand. Melancholy is also very realistic. But [...]
Oh Come ON!!

Reading the newspaper often frustrates me because of how illogical the articles can be. Take this whole mess about the SDP and all the suing going on. Ordinarily, I can’t even be bothered because I have not a whit of respect for that party. But this article in the Straits Times really got me wonderfully [...]
