Tit for Tat

Called Derek, the car salesman this morning, and revealed to him that the car I had earlier sold to him in exchange for the down-payment for my new Toyota Vios was reduced to a malformed metallic mesh. If he was furious, he did not show it. He merely shrugged it off as some minor complications [...]

Swimming Like a Pro

I went for a dip in the water at my sports club yesterday and flagrantly showed off my front crawl stroke. I asked CY to capture a video of myself swimming the ‘freestyle’. I actually swam pretty well, almost like the pros I would say. CY agrees, how could she not? I daresay nobody swam [...]

Time Bookstore Warehouse Sale

I found out, not without much delight, from the newspaper a couple of days ago that the Times Bookshop is running its popular sale this week. Held inside a store as spacious as a hangar, it is an event which, for all that it’s worth, deserves a mention. I always look forward to this biannual showcase [...]

Close Encounter with Death

I was, as usual, driving home from a rather tiring night raking in some extra cash from locum tenens. It was a little after ten. [...]

I Remember This Day

The Internet is inundated with essays, reports and editorials on the 9/11 disaster. It is the 5th anniversary of the mindless attack and what struck me different this time is the fact that I have actually been to the Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan.
It is not a place of gay, touristy attraction. It may [...]
