Yesterday was Ping.sg’s second birthday and my other blog was nominated for some awards and I won two of them so that was pretty good, but it was really fun seeing everyone again (the last time being at the HP event). Because I only got in from Genting in the morning and was a bit [...]

Last night in Genting for pre-work on the MTV Asia Awards ‘08 (until next Thursday) and it’s been back to back long days. Today is pretty cold and pretty foggy (pics tomorrow), but for tonight I wanted to just share with you my room in First World Hotel.
Nothing flashy, nothing extravagant. Just a bed, hot [...]

Due to my own oversight, I kinda got into the whole registration of courses for exchange late and now all the courses I wanted to take are full, so I’ve just whacked 2 classes that I weren’t full and hopefully during the add/drop period something will free up and work out.
Note to self: stop being [...]

Google’s Lively has been a pretty popular subject all of last week (interesting that Google chose a name that would only give them third spot on a search for “Lively”), since we were all on Plurk anyway, a few of the Plurksters namely Janellee, Clauds, Nadnut and myself took Sunday night off to visit Dorothy [...]

I’ve been sitting on this post literally for months. I thought I had it planned out when I made the social media jump and the theme was “What do you learn from school?” to be focused on what they key takeaways from your education should be. But now that I’ve gone back to MTV Asia, [...]

Remember the “Welcome to Hell” message? I got in to the office on Monday to find it erased off the board but of course, the thing about working in a creative environment is that people need an outlet for their creativity. So today I came into the office to find this:

Of course she came in [...]

On my third day in the office, I bought some donuts for everyone but amazingly, they weren’t finished in one day (could the MTV people have become more health conscious in a year?!)
So I decided to keep the rest in the fridge, when Rachel mentioned to me “Better label it, if not people will take. [...]

Today marked the end of my boys’ journey as scouts in SJI as they handed over their responsibilities to the secondary 3s. Even though I really wanted to stay home and recover from being ill, there was no way I was missing this.

A little bit of background for those who are weirded out with [...]

Yesterday, after numerous conference calls and dragged out meetings our minds were kinda frizzled so I wrote this on our “board”, much to the amusement of my two colleagues in the “control room”.

Incidentally the skull isn’t drawn by me, but the “fire” is. Yes, I’m artistically challenged, I know.
And no, it’s not like hell at [...]

Just got back from my first day of work back at MTV. I started the day at 10am and ended at 8:45pm.
“What?” you say? “So late?” you ask?
The truth is I hardly even noticed that it was so late because
a) MTV is a truly comfortable place to be and hang out
b) I had so much [...]
