I’ve been here a week and it has been nothing short of awesome. I didn’t intend for it to be this way, but somehow I’ve ended up mixing with a lot of the Asian kids here from Singapore, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan and Taiwan. Now before you give me the whole “what the [...]

No I didn’t find Meepok in New York (though I think if I really wanted to I probably could), but this is one of my few attempts at doing a Meepok post (ie a “how my day went/what I did today” post) to amuse everyone and maybe embarrass me.
So my day started at 6:30am because [...]

Here’s a little backstory: Chloe’s been a friend of mine for the last.. almost 10 years. We have weirdass quirks and mutually embarrassing moments shared between us. Here’s the latest amusing exchange:

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 [...]
