I relish the moment when I read a book or watch a movie and literally physically feel a warmth in myself, like some sort of connection. And then I just know it crossed the line between “I like this” and “This is really one of my favourites”. I like that feeling, when something’s added to the favourites list. It’s amazing after 18+ years I only have two...
BLESSED NEW YEAR
“The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul” - G.K. Chesterton
Ok, I must brace myself for rejection. Been frolicking around too long this past month but things are going out now and things will be coming in, good and bad. I need to take a deep breath and be ready for bouts of self-questioning, self-doubt and a huge dip in self esteem (not that I had much to begin with).
I pray I will not be too battered up by the end of this and I will be somewhere I...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
This past week has been awfully tiring and yet the most exciting leadup to Christmas I have ever ever experienced. The mad rush for presents, drawing cards, meeting up with friends/family, watching awesome carolling, staying out late at some attas Singapore Recreation Club with a heated swimming pool (omg), going for midnight mass and then staying out till 4am.
I just knew Christmas this year...
It’s one thing to feel sad-sad and misunderstood-sad, I hate this I hate this I hate this. There are so many levels to this I can’t make it go away it just buries deeper and deeper and one day it’s going to turn poisonous, I just know it.
You come home from an absolutely fantastic day and get misunderstood.

Still, we stand with the help of a steady hand
My parents and I cleared my room today and in the longest time ever, I felt like we were a proper, functioning family. Just in time for Christmas. But hell, it was one big nasty feat, all those books and papers and files, God Bless the people receiving my shit. My table is clear now except for some uni letters/prospectus and my moleskin. I kept my sketchbook too, and the bible, which I have yet...
GAHH I’M SO PROUD OF MY COUSIN! N-LEVEL TOP STUDENT IN HIS SCHOOL! :D Show all the irritating elitists that you’re better than them!

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t the glue that held everything together. And now, I just wish for a decent holiday. I need to run away from all of this.
Dear 3F,
I know most of my classmates ‘liked’ other photos but I chose this because it was candid. This is us, living breathing human beings in our moment of togetherness, trying to take a picture to immortalize that night.
But to me, this immortalizes it most. Where we’re just friends, happy having just fought a hard battle and celebrated with a pretty night out. This is who we are....

These are the days being a bio student is a joke in itself. Fb is plastered with all sorts of liberation calls and war dances around notes bonfires, how tactful. Meanwhile, I retreat into escapism.
I hate the vacuum cleaner. It is one invention that has no meaning or purpose other than add to noise pollution, startle someone awake, induce a headache and fuel this urge to stick a middle finger in...
