online shopping

Posted August 31st, 2009 by mayni | 3 Comments

As if I’m not broke enough, I have taken on to online shopping in the last few weeks. I feel I have no choice but to blame my book list for this. You see, books are ridiculously priced here. A paperback costs almost $20-30. A decent book would be around $32. At Target/Big W/Kmart, they [...]

Thinking positive

Posted August 29th, 2009 by mayni | No Comments

When I started this blog, I was going through a rough patch and wanted to see if thinking positive would eventually bring happiness and joy into my life (Re: ‘Living life’ post. As I am not very tech savvy, I have no idea how to link it but it was published on July 29). So [...]

Comics I love to read (over and over and over again)

Posted August 28th, 2009 by mayni | 3 Comments

Same as books, there are a few comic series which I love to read repeatedly and never get tired of. I still laugh at certain parts and think, “I love this comic” each time I read it. One of my favourites is a local comic called Lat (named after the cartoonist). The ones I like [...]

Miss anti social

Posted August 27th, 2009 by mayni | No Comments

I realise that I have been living a somewhat pathetic life for the last 12 months. I blame it on two things. 1. most of my friends left (UK, Belgium, Sg). 2. work responsibilities. When my friends were still living here, every other weekend was filled with activities. Dinners, parties, spas, hot springs, day trips, [...]

my book list

I am sure most of you have heard of BBC’s must read book list. It seems that the average person would have read 6 out of the 100 listed books below. 1. The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien 2. Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen 3. His Dark Materials, Philip Pullman 4. The Hitchhiker’s Guide [...]

my own memories

Posted August 25th, 2009 by mayni | No Comments

I have to admit something. I feel I have no choice now especially since more people from my childhood are starting to read my blog. The things I write here are based on my memories. It is how I recall things and how I felt as a child which I try to express through my [...]

Forgiveness…

Posted August 25th, 2009 by mayni | No Comments

I wrote this a while back on Facebook and thought I’d share it  today with everyone else here. “Forgiveness…. I think it is about one of the hardest things to overcome, especially when you feel like you have been done the worst deed in the great book of sins. How much of ‘forgiveness will set [...]

that’s what you get for waking up in Vegas…

Posted August 24th, 2009 by mayni | 1 Comment

Everytime I think of Vegas, one thing comes to mind – “VEGAS,BABY!!” I can’t help it. I don’t even know why the association but for the life of me, it’s VEGAS, BABY!. I was in Vegas back in Nov last year. I had some spare time before heading back to Melbourne and US best friend [...]

Speaking in my mother tongue

Posted August 20th, 2009 by mayni | No Comments

I grew up speaking in three languages; English, Malay and Hokkien. I suppose technically, although I speak and think in English, Hokkien is considered my mother tongue. There is an interesting history to this however (as my Ma told me before). As I had mentioned previously, when I was much younger, I was taken care [...]

blog reflection

Posted August 19th, 2009 by mayni | 2 Comments

I have to admit I read over my blog sometimes. The worse thing is, I tend to nod my head abit whenever I read through them thinking, hm..yes…I totally agree…which of course, does not make sense since it is obvious that I would as I wrote them in the first place. However, reading through them, [...]
