country bumpkin

The past few days have been kind of weird. I’ve been eating all kinds of junk and I just didn’t feel like cooking. In fact, I’ve avoided the grocery stores for a while. I went to the asian supermarket today and got some veg and tofu. Not really in the mood to cook and I [...]

what’s my pin number?

I bought a cd yesterday and I was using my debit card to pay for it. Somehow my pin was rejected. I tried it again and again and it didn’t work. The girl behind the counter asked if I had punched in 5 digits instead of 4. I was like what? 4 digits? I have [...]

gymnopédie

by Eric Satie. I heard it on the radio early this morning. Very nice, especially when it’s still a little dark and quiet outside. Cracked the windows a little to let in a bit of fresh air… ahh, the start of a brand new day…

my evenings…

I’m currently reading a book by Jonathan Weiner: His Brother’s Keeper. Haven’t gotten very far into it but I think I will finish this book. It’s about 2 brothers and how the older one tries to save his younger brother who’s dying of a disease called ALS. Haven’t been reading for pleasure since I started [...]

no love?

I’ve been talking with a friend about compassion and it’s very interesting to hear about what’s going on in some churches. I know I’m in no position to comment on anything. I’m not here to start an argument or cause any conflict. I’m merely voicing my opinion on some issues I care about because more [...]

apfelstrudel

I have been craving Ritz apple strudel lately and so I went to The Fresh Market (it’s like The Marketplace at Raffles City) and got myself an apple strudel. It’s looks almost flat compared to Ritz’s. Of course it wasn’t anything like Ritz’s, but I got it anyway. I should just learn to make my [...]

child of God

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently and the Lord is obviously trying to teach me something. Alright, here goes…
When you say that you can’t get along with someone or can’t work with this person, or you can’t stand so and so, or make a sarcastic remark, have you thought about why you said [...]

it’s pouring

right now, as I’m writing. This very instant. Yes, it’s raining cats and dogs. I just got home from sending Lucas back to school. It was very nice of him to accompany me to my company party. I didn’t think he would come, but he did and it was fun meeting people. We didn’t have [...]

insomnia

I’ve been having a hard time falling asleep recently. Maybe it’s the change in weather? Maybe it’s something else. Whatever it is, it has been keeping me up and making me sleep in a little.
It’s almost 1am. I just got home 10mins ago from working on a project. My mind is still fairly alert; perhaps [...]

they fell to their deaths…

1st: my ikea architect lamp. The clamp that had been holding the lamp in place for 4 months decided that it would give way, so my lamp fell. I fixed it 2 days later and it still works great!
2nd: this happened yesterday afternoon. I was trying to measure a cup of rice when my arm [...]
