Sex in the City

Hey, I just had dinner with two amazing girls. A's a really good friend from JC while B's a good friend's girlfriend who's a mutual friend. It's cool that we really clicked over good food and dessert at Riciotti (Riverwalk Galleria, MRT: Clarke Quay) for a reasonable price ($13 per person) too!

An uncanny thing happened when we mentioned abt forming a "Sex in the City" girl clique without the sex. We can start identifying the characters now...

Lost in Santa Land

Hi,
Just back from Sweden and Finland. It's been really cool.

Salut,
Je reviens de Suede et de Finlande. Les pays nordique sont vachement chers. C'etait trop cool de me retrouver en hiver. Le froid m'a presque manque apres 3 ans. J'etais tres tentee de prendre l'avion pour Paris mais c'etait trop cher, meme sur Ryan Air!

Heureusement qu'il a fait beau. On a pris plein de photos, comme tout asiatique typique!
Envoie-moi un mel si tu voudrais les voir.
