Photos from Genting Highlands!

Sheylara — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:02:57 +0000

It’s now 12:30 am. I’m at Pedas Springs, a spa in Genting Highlands. My friends are inside having massages while I’m blogging at the cafe outside. My work is really 24/7 around the clock, around the world! We planned this trip a couple of months ago. It’s a sort of coming-of-age trip for Nanny Wen cos the [...]

Twitter helped find missing dog

Sheylara — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:19:58 +0000

I was planning to write about this but Nanny Wen just wrote such a great post about it that I’ve decided to link it. The gist of it is that her dog Scruffy went missing. After four worrying days of searching, both physically and through social media, Scruffy was finally found. And Twitter was the primary [...]

GGF#62.1: Review of CSI: Deadly Intent

Sheylara — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:38:33 +0000

For the past week or so, each time I had the intention to sit down and write this review, my limbs would feel a magnetic pull towards my Xbox 360 controller, instead. I would auto-pilotly power up my Xbox 360 and TV before realising what I’m doing. Indeed, why would any sane person want to write [...]

One day, the Goonfather brought two cookies home for me. He had gotten them from his Filipino colleague. Goldilocks Polvoron! They tasted of milk powder and I was about to die of happiness eating them. So, at first, the Goonfather said he would get his colleague to buy more for us the next time he returns to [...]

Travelling with Nanny Wen

Sheylara — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:26:42 +0000

I’m home! Funny how being overseas kind of warps time. And I mean even nearby overseas. I’ve only been away for a little over 24 hours but it feels like days. Maybe because every time I go overseas, I’m stoned from lack of sleep. My computer is still not fixed so I’m still using Fluffy. I don’t really [...]

The impromptu Kuching trip

Sheylara — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:57:16 +0000

So, I’m now in Kuching with Nanny Wen, having been invited quite last minute to accompany her on this 2D1N trip. I hardly had time to prepare for it, so all I did was throw together a few things and then I was out the door. We had to buy air tickets at the airport at [...]

Bite-size Sheylara – Messy

Sheylara — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:44:51 +0000

Messy My mind feels messy. It’s like, I have so many things to do every day. So many thoughts to think. It paralyses me because I don’t know how to prioritise. Everything seems equally important. Sometimes I end up not doing anything of worth because doing one thing makes me feel guilty for not doing the other [...]
