Your even breathing and messy symphony of snores keep me awake at some parts of a night. Sometimes we go to bed together and sometimes I creep in hours after you do but one thing never changes: you fall asleep at the drop of a hat. There are times when I wonder why it is [...]

Last night, the girlfriend’s mother came home with a pomelo she shook off a tree in the park opposite their building. This evening, while we watch the news report on local farmers making an early harvest of pomelos in precautions against Typhoon Pheonix, the girlfriend announced that we ought to do the same for the [...]

We checked out the Mammoth Exhibition 2008 at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and it was, to our great dismay, completely overhyped.
