		<title>Sometimes I Hate FB</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Facebook, or better known as FB, is a necessary evil.  It has its benefits &#8211; it&#8217;s easier to keep in touch with acquaintances, friends and family flung at all corners of the world.  And it&#8217;s a joy to reconnect with college mates and long-ago pen pals you haven&#8217;t heard from in yonks.  [...]

		<title>No To Nooka</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The weather&#8217;s been utterly and horribly hot.
It makes the best of us wilt like soggy cabbages that someone forgot to put in the fridge.  My brains are addled, my eyes are on half-mast all day and I just feel like saying &#8216;No&#8217; to everything.
Especially to Nooka.
Just discovered this funky brand of watch today during a [...]

		<title>I&#8217;ve Got Your Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Probably one of the sweetest things a friend can say is:  &#8220;I&#8217;ve got your back.&#8221;
It makes a huge difference when knowing that you are not alone.  That someone cares.  And so very gamed to be your cheerleader and avid supporter.
With friends like these, one can weather the toughest storms in life.
And the best thing is, [...]

		<title>A List of Firsts at Pangkor Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just returned from Pangkor Island last night.  Am exhausted but also very happy.
I&#8217;ve been to the island many years ago when the roads were in bad shape and the beaches were not clean.  It was for all intents and purposes, a fishing village.  Now, it has transformed to a scenic and rustic beach resort.  It&#8217;s [...]

		<title>I Still Heart Blogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this day and age of microblogging over Twitter and Facebooking, blogs have taken quite a backseat.  Sure, some bloggers still blog and blast their blog links on Twitter and FB.  And when you google for stuff, you&#8217;ll mostly get blog links instead of Twitter and FB status updates.
But the fact of the matter is, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[About 6 years ago, I was traipsing along Brooklyn Bridge, New York.  It was a beautiful day.  The sun was shining, the skies were blue and the bridge looked magnificent.  I was one of the hundreds walking on the bridge.  And then I passed a girl sitting on a bench.
Now, the bridge was quite a [...]

		<title>Sipadan &#8211; Diver&#8217;s Dream Come True</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Happy in Sipadan
16-20 Dec 2009
Before July this year, if anyone were to tell me that I would be:

A certified Open Water Diver
A freestyle swimmer
Complete my Advanced Open Water Diver practicals&#8230;
&#8230; in Sipadan

I would have chortled in disbelief and told them that they were out of their minds.
But as they say, real life is stranger than [...]

		<title>The Problem With Jiwang Songs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always liked &#8216;Sampaikanlah Salam&#8217; by Alleycats.  The beat is cheerful and the tune catchy.  I&#8217;ve never thought much of the lyrics until McUser pointed it out to me recently.
&#8220;It&#8217;s far from a cheerful song lah,&#8221; the Alleycats fan said smugly.  
And so, I took a closer look at the song:

		<title>On Being Connected</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twinnie once blogged this: 
And to quote the character Jesse in one of my favourite movies Before Sunset, &#8220;I guess when you&#8217;re young, you just believe there&#8217;ll be many people with whom you&#8217;ll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times.&#8221;
And when you do connect, you grab it – be [...]
