2010 Wrap-up

It’s that time of the year we reflect on what we did, what we didn’t do, and generally how 364 days passed us by without stopping to even say Hi. For me, I am ambivalent to each year’s passing. As much as I want to optimistically (and deludingly) believe each year we pass we are getting…

Why I am not big on Christmas

These few days I have been making snarky comments and bailing out of anything celebratory like a Grinch and Scrooge rolled in one. I am generally not big on Christmas celebrations. I asked myself exactly why that is the case and I arrive at the following conclusion. 1) Christmas does not hold any fond memories…

Why I quit Facebook

I quit Facebook. I suppose you can consider it an impulsive move, but I don’t think I regret it. For the betterment of my mental health, I think it’s a necessary step to take. In a nutshell, Facebook makes me an unhappy individual. I know fully well I’m a person born and raised to be…

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve

Over the Hari Raya break we went to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. The last time I went there I was back in secondary school, so it must be about 9-10 years ago. We took the South View Path, the supposedly more scenic and less steep path.

BRB!

Dear all, I will be away for a vacation in Tioman, Malaysia from 19th to 22nd May! Will be back with pretty pictures of sun, sea, and beach! :)

Upset about people getting upset

I don’t usually talk about feelings, because in my opinion talking about feelings on a blog usually comes across as a form of emotional blackmail. I don’t want to bully people who read this into feeling a certain way I set them up to feel; and most importantly of all, we are all entitled to…

Surprise birthday present!

Despite already given prior warning to look out for a present coming to my mailbox, I forgot all about until, well, it appeared. My dear Sulz had mailed me a present all the way from Malaysia! Now a soft reveal: The big package. Complete with a cute label by POS Malaysia. A card and a…

Happy Birthday To Me

Yet another year closer to who I’m going to be. On this day I honour people who have made me who I am, despite me being an utter monster (a pink furry one though). Those who have helped me, those who haven’t, those who have undermined my happiness, those who have told me what I…

Carded

Yet another self-indulgent post, but I just have  to holler about something funny that happened to me. I was at Cold Storage grabbing some food and wine before dropping by XJ’s house. So I was at the checkout, and the cashier acted weird. She eyed the wine, and she stared at me a bit, confused….

I’m bratty so…

I want my birthday present NOW. And I’m bratty because I want an expensive present, namely the Pentax K-x DSLR with dual lens kit. And being the bratty person I’ve got to go and choose a camera that’s nearly out of stock all over Singapore. Hurrah. So I want my present NOW. More than 1…
