Forcing hope.

24May12

One day, all those words you imagined would be said, all those moments you envisioned, all those feelings you hope to feel, will come true.

One day.

What a beautiful scene.

Eaten at Meiling Hawker Center. The flavors of noodles, egg whites, shrimp, calamari, assorted spinach and vegetables fuse together to create a gastronomic delight of epic proportions. The perfect Saturday afternoon meal.


These are photos of our Karaoke room. The colors are so cheerful, it makes you want to sing and dance, and not slouch over a laptop :)


I went to Bangkok on a work trip but I managed to sneak in some temple time with my friends. Here’s a slideshow of the city I can call home, that’s closer to Singapore than Guwahati.

I had to wake up at an ungodly hour for a meeting a couple weeks ago. I was running late but I had to pause to take a couple photos of this beautiful sunrise.

The skyscraper is what I pass on my way to Raffles MRT. It reminds me of how clean and organized Singapore is. Like a land of Legos.

You smiled at a stranger?

You gave up a seat for the elderly?

You did not bargain with a roadside vendor?

You thanked a waiter for his service?

You bothered finding out the names of your cooks, drivers, domestic help?

And their kids?

When was the last time you ran with abandon?

And got the neighborhood kids to give chase?

When was the last time you gave yourself a break

And just lay in the sun, Facebook, Twitter, your blog, all but forgotten.

When was the last time you did anything without turning it into an update or a Tweet or a blog post?

Have you gone swimming lately? Or played a game of tennis, badminton, soccer?

When was the last time you hung out with your family, no phone calls, no interruptions?

When was the last time you wrote someone a letter or a proper email?

And instead of Bye! Or Thanks! Or Later!

You signed it off as ‘With Love?’

When was the last time you had a happy memory?


Every time I watch the very handsome Christopher Plummer choke through these words, I cry.

I would like to sing for you now

. . . a love song.

I know you share this love.

I pray that you will never let it die.


How many times has a ringing phone annoyed you during a movie, concert, whatever? Here’s a video on how a violinist handles it with humor and still continue entertaining.


I went to watch Wicked on Sunday – it over whelmed me in parts, bored me in parts. Here are some photos of the set I managed to sneak in.
