Single during Chinese New Year

February 9, 2017February 9, 2017by sumijelly759Leave a Comment

Many single people of a marriageable age during Chinese New Year this year will have encountered at least one person asking them to 'Hurry up, find someone and get married' so they can stop taking ang paos and finally start giving them. First of all, finding a spouse is not like buying pork at the [...]

We're told a lot about focus and how having it is core to creating, innovating and growing in our particular art. But what our well-intentioned motivators leave out is what exactly to focus on. The reason they do that is because no one can tell you where your true intentions lie, only you can do [...]

HIMYM Finalé

I promised myself I wouldn't do this. But here I am. I've had a Love/Hate relationship with the HIMYM series and after the finalé I'm with the other fans screaming I want the last 9 years of my life back. I'm ashamed to admit the ending left a bitter taste in my mouth for the [...]

I get a lot of rap for not being very, um, how you say, Potato-ish. If I had a Ringgit for every look of disgust from society when they find out I'm Potato illiterate, I could prolly pay for my one week stay in Dubai. Not for a lack of want, mind you. I recently took a [...]

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me, and I'm feeling good. Michael Bublé Hey, is anyone else feeling chilly? Today I will vote because it is my constitutional right. I will vote for the government that promotes accountability, transparency, good financial management and TLC for it's people. Even [...]

My Heart’s Keeper: I Will, I Do

To My Heart's Keeper, When darkness shadows my door, And panic threatens my entire being, The One who stands strong for me holds me close and says 'Shh, I'm here, you don't need to be afraid anymore' The ugliest nails imprint Your loving palms, It's in these hole-y hands, I have found that I am [...]

For the longest time I couldn't understand the difference between Assets and Expenses. Or any accounting concept for that matter. But I had the most patient Accounting tutor in the world who would gently give me an explanation, even if every week I asked him the same question. Granted, his patience didn't stop me from feeling like [...]

At 1 pm, the primary school bell would ring and all the kids would rush to the front gate. In a drove of riotous children and mothers screaming out for each other, I could always pick out my mothers voice, even if she was a distance away. Why? Because I knew her voice. Sometimes the [...]

Olympic athletes have to train every day and night for that gold medal. Michael Phelps was in the pool training every single day. Whether he was sick, whether it was winter, whether it was a public holiday, he was in the pool. But in the Olympics no matter how hard you train, there can only [...]

As I sat at her feet, I laid my head in her lap and closed my eyes. I would've sat on the chair but the last time I tried to lean my head on her shoulder she bowled over like a pin. She gently stroked my hair while we listened to the drone of the [...]
