Yesterday, 9 August 2015, was the 50th anniversary of Singapore’s independence as a city state. As it was mentioned in one of those national songs we have from back in 1987: There was a time when people said that Singapore won’t make it, but we did. There was a time when troubles seemed too much for us to take, but we did. We built a nation, … Continue reading Singapore’s 50th National Day of Independence #SG50
I was invited to attend the 3rd edition of sold-out Durian Mobilisation event last night at the communal hall at Marine Drive. Generally, I don’t take on many events that are not concerts or music entertainment related stuff but it’s impossible to say “no” to durians. Let alone a seven variety course of durians curated by Dr. Leslie Tay of ieatishootipost.sg and co-organised by the Singapore Kindness Movement. … Continue reading Durian Mobilisation 2015: Durians For a Cause
Now that the dog has been legally adopted, it also means that I can’t YOLO as much as I used to or dash off somewhere without checking to see if the dog will be walked or fed if I’m not around. It also means that I will have to get even more selective with the concerts and events I go for and the people I … Continue reading Life Now With A Dog in Tow
Contrary to popular belief, I didn’t suddenly decide to adopt a dog. I have always wanted one since I was a kid but my parents didn’t agree to it until recently; I think it is because they got bored of waiting for grandchildren. LOL. I started convincing my mother about getting a dog since the second half of 2014 or so. It was only a … Continue reading Adopting A Dog!
It was a very harrowing week starting on 23 March 2015 when it was announced that our first and former Prime Minister, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew had passed on. While I had known that his death was kinda eminent and it not exactly a surprise but it still was very upsetting all the same when death actually happened. I felt a very strong obligation to … Continue reading Back From a Mini Hiatus
Thank you Mr Lee Kuan Yew. And may your soul rest in peace. I’m not a politically-inclined person; neither do I know very much nor want to know much about politics but I think that is what all of us who has ever lived in Singapore, and not only Singaporeans and its Residents should say to him; whether you like him or not and whether you agree … Continue reading RIP Lee Kuan Yew and Thank You
Being the fangirl that I am, it’s quite obvious that I know shit about the military apart from the really basic stuff. Still, it doesn’t mean that I cannot recognise a rare and cool experience when I’m offered one. 🙂 I received an invitation from FLY Entertainment to join Patricia Mok, Ebi Shankara and Suhaimi Yusof or Irene Ang for a tour of RSS Endurance, a … Continue reading A Valentine’s Day with #SAF50atVIVO and Irene Ang
This list of “Best and Worst” is by no means scientific but it’s purely from my own biased experience and what left such an impression in my head for the 2014 year. Given the amount of things that I get up to, I actually forget that I had attended a certain concert/event. I’m not kidding. LOL. So if things left an impression in my head, it … Continue reading The joven.at.heart List of 2014’s Best and Worst
I have been feeling a little down because of the news of my ex-colleague. There are stuff sitting in my inbox that’s waiting to be posted but I just haven’t been feeling up for it. I’ll get around to it soon. I just need to mope around for a bit more. For the last few days since the tragic news broke, I have spent some time reflecting … Continue reading Life, Death and The Legend of Corpse Herding / Walking (赶尸)
I heard yesterday that Richard Shaw, an ex-colleague that I used to work pretty closely with, had drowned in a tragic accident on Sunday, 2 November 2014. Needless to say, I was shocked and saddened by the news. Then I started to look back at the times we had worked together, the amount of pain and bullshit that had happened and we had to go through during the course … Continue reading RIP Richard Shaw
