Milestone Moments

2011-12-05T02:11:00.001+08:00

As much as you anticipate and look forward to each stage of your life, I guess one can never be 100% prepared. And I supposed when it comes to matters of the heart as many books or words of wisdom there are out there, it's never quite as straightforward, but most people will tell you, that's sometimes the best part. I'm not sure when I fell in love with charm bracelets, though I know for sure

And so I chose a washing machine over a luxury bag?

2011-09-13T01:30:00.001+08:00

Yes, perhaps, but not for discussion today. I seem to have an in built fascination and desire for all things household...steam iron, washing machine or these days called fancy names like the time manager/inverter, let's not forget my I want a black and decker driller/battery powered screw driver (which I should inform you I did get as a present this year)But seriously, today's post is really

looking ahead...

2011-09-06T21:28:00.003+08:00

does looking ahead means starting afresh without needing to know the details of one's pastORdoes it mean knowing what happened in the past yet choosing to move beyond it?

Double Bacon Delight

2011-08-31T14:14:00.004+08:00

You can call them savory cupcakes if you like, but they are really breakfasts served in a cup. Easy to make, and yummy (everything with bacon is). Prep Time: <30 minutes (serves 6) Ingredients: 6 slices of streaky bacon 6 tablespoons of cheese (mozarella, cheddar, etc.) 3 chicken eggs or 6 quail eggs 6 slices of bread Some butter 1. Preheat oven to 200 celcius 2. Pan fry bacon till half cooked

Learned Helplessness

2011-08-29T21:14:00.003+08:00

Seems pretty depressing for me to blog about Learned Helplessness on the eve of a Public Holiday or rather Public Holidays. But the above image has somewhat been tattoed to my mind of late (must be the book I'm reading). Perhaps as I look around me, the more I observed unleashed potential due to --- learned helplessness, past failures or self worth that has been battered so badly, it is almost

Perhaps first impressions really are that powerfulP/s:

I'm not for equality

2011-02-15T02:20:00.001+08:00

I'm not for all the gender equality nonsense, ok, perhaps I shouldn't call it nonsense, but at times gender equality is overrated.I'm frankly not sure why men and women want to be equal? Can't we be complementary? Like how God intended it to be?From my humble observations, and I would like to say empirical data--but I have no time for things as such these days, I have a theory/hypothesis/

Mind Diet

2010-05-03T01:41:00.000+08:00

Perhaps the most difficult battle to fight is often one between the heart and the mindConstantly the heart refuses to listen to the mind, though the mind presents facts figures the current reality; the heart wonders what if, questions, doubts, wavers And even the mind is a tricky one, we think we have more control over it than we do our hearts, yet how it analyzes, thinks, form perceptions is

Porno & Korean Drama

2010-02-15T01:42:00.000+08:00

Porno and Korean Drama are essentially alike in it's effects/influences. They are equally disruptive to relationships.Porno gives men a false sense of sexual fulfillment, presents unrealistic images of how the ideal woman's body, not to mention perverse the act that was designed to be an expression of love.

Singapore Biennale 2008 (Part 1)

2008-09-30T23:40:00.016+08:00

Between You & I by Anthony McCall was my most favourite exhibit at the Biennale, though i only got to visit 2 out of the 4 venues. McCall gives physicality to light rays, by using projection of light in a dark space, accompanied with haze. The art is so named because the "wall" created by the light creates this space between people, the creator attempts to illustrate how this "wall" can at times

Since i've gotten a hold of "Wild at heart" & "Captivating" i've been wanting to write a review on these books, but after countless drafts, i feel that regardless of what i write, it doesn't do justice to the contents of the book. To those that have been trying to persuade me to buy these books, i finally did, and you guys were right =P But the main reason i never got around to it, because i

STOP blaming your genes & START taking responsibility

2008-09-08T15:59:00.004+08:00

Oh YES! The Swedish researchers have stumbled upon a gene variant related to how male bond with their partners...(click here to read more about it) so apparently if a man has 2 copies of the allele 334 then he is more likely to encounter marital or relationship crisis, and if you are married to a man with duplicate of allele334 , you would be less satisfied in your marriage. If you are a

A mind of its own: How your braing distorts and deceives by Cordelia Fine

2008-09-07T19:38:00.004+08:00

I quote:"Your brain is vainglorious. It deludes you. It is pigheaded, emotional and secretive. Oh, and it's also a bigot. If your brain were a person you definitely wouldn't invite it to parties, and it would probably be a politician". And thats how Ms Fine attempts to tranform loads of cognitive psych journals into a witty & succint compilation of how our brain messes with us for the laymen.

Thanks to the www, you can peak in your fridge then Google a recipe based on what you have in your fridge =D Since i've been attending classes at Wilton, and my instructor insist that the recipes are amazing..i decided i will try it out ;) Wilton is US based so their recipes need to be converted. And though converting might seem like a simple task, its not quite the case. 1 cup (US) can = 125

Getting away to be one with nature at Serendah was indeed a rested time =DWe were a little over-prepared for the trip...since we packed for the worst, but we were utterly surprise by the excellent condition the place was in. It even had hot water! Though the bathroom literally has no top...and you can see the sky when you do your "transactions". The beds too were in good condition, and had
