Eating Chinese
No offense meant, the title doesn’t mean its literal meaning. Just want to share my fondness of eating Chinese food. There’s really no argument about my being loyal to Asian food. And when we talk of Asian food, Chinese food is never an exception to that. One of my favorites is the stir-fried noodles. They [...]
Fried Fish
I was once given a mission: Prepare a decent meal – fried fish with rice.
I have a number of kitchen disasters in my record that would tell you this was not a good idea…
I sautéed garlic, placed the pieces of fish in the pan and waited. Much to my dismay, they were unidentifiable [...]
Braveheart Syndrome
I can still hear Sir William Wallace shout with his dying breath, “Freedom!” and I can’t explain why the movie has such enormous appeal to me and to a million others.
Come to think of it, why do people watch movies anyway? Perhaps because we identify ourselves with the characters in the film? I guess [...]
Tower Tiles
When we where children, my siblings and I would play mahjong – no, not the game itself. We would pile up the tiles and see who could make the highest tower. Eventually, the tower would be too tall and all the tiles would fall down.

Don’t Let Him Down
I remember when I was a kid I showed Papa my quiz paper that day and bragged to him that I had the highest score. Papa looked at it and said, “You got two mistakes. Why not make it perfect next time around?” I took it as a challenge. On our mastery [...]
Teacher Friend
I was in 3rd year high school when my parents moved me to a co-ed campus. It was a little strange to be in the same school as young men my age and it took some time to adjust. Since I didn’t make many friends right away, I became close to one of the teachers [...]
A Present
When you give a present to your friend on her birthday, how do you know she is truly grateful? When she says, “Thank you!” with a smile? Probably. But how can you be sure she’s not just being polite? Ah! But when you see her actually using the pen you gave her or wearing the [...]
