I planned to put up this post the day the incident happened, which was 5 days back. Forgot my wordpress password though and left it. And as I’m too lazy to change all the sentences to past tense, pls read it as though the thing happened today. Thanks!

Alright, I’m back from hibernation..during the summer.
We’ve just moved to another flat so while the hall and kitchen are now set, the rooms have a lot of tidying up and arranging to do. Sometimes I feel the stuff is best left in the suitcases and cartons. No need to arrange them cos then they wouldn’t [...]

It’s now become a habit for me to write down the grocery list for the week on a large post-it note and stick it either to or inside mario’s wallet.

Sushi seems to be everyone’s favourite food. 4 years back, a friend Hang (and some 2 words after his name which I don’t remember - he was Korean) offered sushi to a group of us. We being first time eaters didn’t know what to expect and gulped it. Afterwards, one guy in the group had a strange [...]
