Dance like no one's watching

Everyone knows I don’t cook, can’t sew and I don’t do housework.  I don’t like to cook because I find it difficult to wrap my mind around how spending 1 hour to prepare a dish that will be gobbled up in 15 minute can be fulfilling.  I think it’s much more efficient to pay $5 […]

  I’ve been waiting for 2 weeks now for the issuance of Standard Chartered’s Manhattan card.  I was going to pay the deposit for Hyatt tomorrow with the card but I’ve since postponed the deposit payment till next week as the card application is still "in process".   I couldn’t take it anymore… and sent […]

I was working on the renewal of my client’s Political Violence Insurance policy recently and noted that since the last renewal a year ago, quite a number of insurers from western countries have set up offices in Asia (namely Hong Kong and Singapore).  In theory, this is good news for us brokers because it means […]

Today is off to a bad start.  First thing in the morning… when I just got to my desk, before I even had the chance to boot up my pc, I received a call from an Asshole.  Now the Asshole is a Caucasian underwriter sitting in HK.  Despite my very detailed and exhaustive email to […]

Was having a chat with a church friend recently when she brought up – hadn’t I considered […]

Guess what?  The person who threw my shoes and my slippers on my bed was my dad!!  He was mopping the floor ‘cos the contractors left a mess and he got fed up and threw the footwear onto my bed!  Imagine!  This coming from a person who insists we wash our feet once we get […]

After many many years of complaining, I came home today and found out the good news.  My dad finally decided to install a bigger aircon unit in my bedroom ‘cos the fan of the old unit wasn’t strong enough to move the cool air throughout my entire room.  That was the good news. The bad […]

Once again, I am the author of a lengthy complaint email.  Enjoy. =================== Dear Whom-It-May-Concern, I am forced to write this complaint email thanks to your staff, Malah (or however you spell her name).  Due to her nasty attitude and inability to converse, I have no choice but to put down my points in writing. […]

Was really really annoyed on the MRT this morning as the MRT announcements on the train were just WAY TOO LOUD! What’s with blasting the speakers at the max man! And the announcements come non-stop. First, the speakers blare out the station name, then the instruction to mind the gap, then the name of the […]
