Apart from the fact that it is bloody freezing in here and my fingers are turning blue, the Premier division has finished its games for the day and are now quite delightedly trying on their collector’s item polo shirts for this year’s tournament. I see Ed Okulicz (his name is a finger-twister to type) [...]

Woo! Though I won’t get full bonus, probably - only started on the Government’s payroll in June.
Good performers to get more in March 2008
IT looks like 2007 will be a bumper year, financially, for Singapore’s 60,000 civil servants. They will get a year-end Annual Variable Component (AVC) of one month and a Non-Pensionable Annual [...]

Oh I am having fun with the kitchen all to myself these two weeks and whipping up simple food for my family :)
Today I made fried miso macaroni with deep-fried luncheon meat cubes (mother would never approve), mixed veg, mushrooms, onion, and little fishcake cubes. Yesterday was Hokkien-style mee with chye sim and minced [...]

Couple of cute puzzly poems I found in a pedagogy book I borrowed from NIE library, which I am supposed to be writing an essay on, but am obviously procrastinating over.

My tuition kid got 269 for PSLE, A* for English, and is the second highest scorer in her primary school!

My rising and my light.
Give me strength when I am weary
Give me hope when I can’t see
Through the crosses I must carry
Lord, bind my heart to thee
That when all my days are over
and all my chores are done,
I [...]

First batch of mulled wine made, sans vanilla essence (how on earth does my kitchen lack vanilla essence? Mom must have put it somewhere I can’t find :/) and with a Chilean red wine and half a cup of Ruby Red Absolut vodka.
Next time, I am putting in maybe a tablespoon of vodka, lots [...]

Over on the Dilbert Blog, Scott Adams gave his readers an assignment: “describe your own job in one sentence, preferably in a humorously derogatory way.”
Some guy posted his favorite top ten :D And here I am, paying homage to number 5.
1. Help people hate each other: Divorce Lawyer
2. Talk in other people’s sleep: College Professor
3. [...]

“You know that cushion that used to belong to you?”
“Yes…wait, what do you mean ‘used’ to belong to me?”
“Yeah, about that cushion.”

“It’s mine now.”

I love O Henry and his stories which always have the most entertaining twists at the end :) This is one of my favorites.
The most notable thing about Time is that it is so purely relative. A large amount of reminiscence is, by common consent, conceded to the drowning man; and it is not [...]
