		<title>A Desert Bowl in Kansas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saturday &#8211; 10 December 2011. (Most of the following were typed from my iPhone 2G immediately after I woke up and as I was driving to work, hence the rather simplistic language.) A dream &#8211; Kansas, deserty. A huge bowl-shaped hole resides in the ground with a sole wooden building at the centre of it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beneath the Glow of the Eiffel Tower</title>
		<description><![CDATA[14 November 2011, 06:18 We fly through the darkness, where time is crossed and changed and set our internal clocks haphazardly. Lights twinkled below as we flew high above the sleeping cities of the Middle East and Western Europe. A bald Frenchman with pierced eyebrows and ears sat diagonally across from Daphne and blew his [...]]]></description>

		<title>From A Claustrophobic Cubicle in Japan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first　brush　with　all　things　Japanese　involved　an　obaasan　talking　to　me　in　Japanese　at　the　airport yesterday.　We&#8217;ve　already　checked　in　and　were　one　of　the　first　few　at　the　gate,　and　from　what　remnants　of　Japanese that I could remember or muster, I gathered that what she was really asking was whether we were waiting there at the final room before the gate opened or not. Initially I couldn&#8217;t understand her at all and replied in English, &#8220;Sorry?&#8221;, and then finally with the Japanese &#8220;Aa hai hai&#8221;. lol. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reconnecting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A general theme for me during the past 2-3 weeks and possibly in the coming ones is reconnecting—I described it to Andy as a reconnecting rampage, and it certainly felt like it. Apart from my now weekly Sunday badminton session (save when my company&#8217;s in its production period) with a pretty rad bunch, I generally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grains of Independence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was after work yesterday evening—the first in what feels like many months when we could leave at 6pm as opposed to busy work-ridden 7pm or 9pm—that I went to Sunway Pyramid on a resolve to achieve two and only two things: switch to DiGi&#8217;s Smart Plan Lite from my current Hotlink Youth Plan that [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Idle Mind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I borrowed Jon&#8217;s dad&#8217;s iPhone 2G, I finally realised what the hype was all about. The multitude of extremely useful apps have since dominated my life, and I found myself using it all the time even though there isn&#8217;t a SIM card in it. My initial purpose was to use it as a PDF [...]]]></description>

		<title>Starstruck &#8211; Michael Bublé</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fresh off from a Saturday night of chillaxing with Jerm, PY and Mei Ling (and Choy and his friend) at Alexis where we were soothed by a jazz band (although we only got to listen to the final half of the performance as there weren&#8217;t any seats anywhere), I was doused with some sort of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Month of Passive Investment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[February has been somewhat of a busy month—my birthday has passed uneventfully as I had to work on a public holiday (sharing the same birthday as Prophet Muhammad himself), and so I&#8217;ve gotten a little older. Chinese New Year was spent in Penang with my family and in the subsequent horrendous traffic on the way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye Purple Hills</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the first time in my life, I found myself needing to clear my mind desperately last Friday night. I was stifled with a rush of emotions that left me wanting to leave the world temporarily and be on my own, and the only place that came to mind that would satisfy my solitude-seeking criterion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zooming out of the universe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is this a part of growing old that my sudden introspective contemplation of the universe seized me by the neck? It is one of those rare few moments where you look at your place in the universe from a bird&#8217;s eye point of view, and then you zoom out—as if you&#8217;re looking from outside the [...]]]></description>
