Writer for Sex and the City shares how she writes
Pretty useful information, even for writing in general. Especially the portions on First Drafts, or Vomit Drafts. I found myself writing less because I spend too much time trying to get it right the first time round. Really zaps your energy away. Learning to [...]
So it’s quite amazing to see juniors walking around, carrying a stack of familiar notes that I posted almost a year ago.
Sorry guys, no exams goodies for year 3 because I am too lazy to prepare them. Anyway, the courses this year aren’t exactly very academic as well.
Anyway, here’s an important quiz you need to [...]
You know something is not too right when you’re prescribed drugs that are labelled as “Poison”.
Anyway, I’m on to my fourth dose of antibiotics now, argh.
Finally off stone. 7.54pm (excluding waiting time for the sub-editor who went missing for half an hour). There might indeed be a ray of hope for a 12pm off stone, some day out there.

And my elder brother has just advised [...]
This entry was drafted on May 18, 2005. It was never finished and nearly forgotten until I chanced upon it today whilst doing some housekeeping on the blog. I decided to complete this entry with what I could recall and with some thoughts two years after her passing — before they fade into oblivion.

Life has finally resumed its usual torpid pace for me. The past week has been nothing short of adrenaline-pumping action for the sedentary me. I found out that I had been stuck on the island for the past 2 years when I renewed my passport — which had long expired in 2004 — a month [...]
