2012


Almost the end of the year and I realized I haven't written a single entry in any of my blogs yet. So I just had to do one for 2012.

Hmm...2012. What a year! It's been filled with ups and downs (like any good year should). I traveled to places I had never been to, met new people had amazing experiences and, most importantly, had some fantastic food.  I lost a close friend. Lost myself too. And found myself again (apologies to all
who've told me to get lost)

That's about all the reflection I want to do. Time to look forward to 2013! So what do I have planned for the year? Nothing. I think I'll just let 2013 decide what it wants to do with me. Bring it on!

Seven Years Seven Stories

1. I was in an elevator going down on my way to work. The elevator stopped, the door opened and an elderly Chinese lady walked in. We looked at each other and while she said "Good Morning", I said "Jo sun" at the same time. Were we both guilty of subconsciously stereotyping? ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. "We will keep you here for observation for a couple of days", said the doctor at the emergency room. The ambulance had brought me there for the second time in 12 hours. And so I was checked into the General Medicine ward at Princess Margaret Hospital. It was a open ward with about 10 to 12 beds. I probably stood out for two reasons. Firstly, for being the only non-Chinese person in the ward. Secondly, for being the only one under 80 years old. The ward was shared with the Geriatrics department. Scheduled activities broke the monotony of doing nothing. Meal times, medication times, visiting hours...

In Life as in Death

Image
I've always wanted to write a piece with the title of "In Life as in Death". However, I never got beyond the title because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to write about. I finally got some inspiration yesterday from a dear friend who hypothetically "killed" me least 3 times in an hour. Ok, so she didn't kill me but suggested I might die very soon (she must have noticed the amount I ate). I mentioned to her that I have a blog in which I write once a year. To this she said I need to reach my full potential and write more as the next generation is waiting to be inspired by me. (You should be laughing hysterically by now as I was). God forbid the day when people are "inspired" by me to do something that's not illegal, immoral or plain evil. But then I thought, why the hell not. In case I do die very soon, I might as well write down some suggestions. I'm sure you've read these elsewhere and there's nothing new. H...

Hitting 30

Image
I hit 30 a couple of weeks ago. I figure I'm a pretty cliched kind of guy so it was time to reflect on my life and see where I am with respect to where I wanted to be. Obviously turned out that i was no where close. Then feeling bad about it and sticking with the "cliche" theme, it was time to go out and do something stupid. So got me a leather jacket, a new pair of sunglasses and a brand new ferrari. Ok..so it was the Hotwheels kind..but hey..still blew my savings on it.It was worth it! But seriously I'm not sure how I feel about where my life is right now. I think I'm doing all right. The only expected thing that I don't have right now is being in a relationship. When I was younger, I really didn't think I'd be single at 30 . But now that I am, I don't know what to make of it. Should I be worried? As people get older, it seems harder to find someone. Add fatter, balder and the fact that I waddle around like a penguin cos i get aches in my joints...
