So last night, I took on the Yoshimaru Ramen Challenge where I attempted to finish 3 portions of ramen. In 15 minutes, I had to finish everything – 3 portions of ramen, chashu, tamago eggs, soup and condiments – and not puke everything out immediately after that. If I succeeded, I’d get the entire bowl […]
I’m blogging this at 6.43am. The sky is still semi-dark, the fan is whirring, and the world hasn’t woken up yet – perfect conditions for work. So far, I’ve showered, gotten ready for the office, updated my LifeTest page, and I’m now working on this Results post. All before 7am. I conducted my third LifeTest

When we get home, we barely have enough time to shower, shove dinner into our mouths, catch up on Facebook, before we crawl into bed
I once had this Econometrics professor back in college. He was young, Brazilian, super intelligent, and had an insane pleasure in messing with our heads. Once, he gave me the most stressful multiple-choice exam ever. Here’s what went through my mind while I was doing it: Question 1: The answer is B. Easy peasy. Question
¡Hola, I’m back! Didja miss me? So sorry for being MIA for the past couple of weeks – I was vacationing in Spain, and after I got back I had to prepare for an unexpected interview (for an internal rotation – I’m not quitting my job!). But it’s all good now, and I can finally
Back in college, just before I started my backpacking trip to Mexico, my dorm mates taught me my very first Spanish words: “Yo tengo una fiesta en mis pantalones” (Go Google Translate it if you don’t know what it means) Needless to say, that was a totally worthless line, though it did almost get me
