If you only shine light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim.
Yet another reckless decision in life. An impromptu trip to Taiwan to chase cherry blossoms cause apparently their cherry blossom season is much earlier. And yes, I had school. Then again, who says 'no' to cherry blossoms? That's right. No one. "Let's go Taiwan next week". So we did. Day 1 Ximending+Shilin Night Market Landed... Continue Reading →
Honesty can be a bitch sometimes. It's true. On one hand, honesty is appreciated but on the other, there are repercussions. For instance, when you admitted you lied, it would be ingrained in their minds eternally. The next time you fuck things up, they'd assume you lied because you did it before. Honesty clears the...

"What's your ambition?" Honestly, I don't have any. I'm a quitter. I literally want to quit life ever since I started questioning why I'm even alive. Tired of meeting everyone's expectations I suppose or rather the expectations I impose upon myself. But if I had to come up with an ambition... Perhaps its to just... Continue Reading →
2017 was a year of change. It was about letting go and moving on; be it relationships or even friendships. I learnt that if you are not happy about something, you go make that change because no one else can do it for you; Never settle for anything less than you deserve...after all, people never...

Remember when you left the kids with the helper when they were young because you had to earn a living for the family? You didn't spend much time with them but they'd definitely understand in the future. The only interaction time you get with them probably wind up with you disciplining them because that's going...

Seems like everyone wants to have a voice these days. This begs the question; if everyone is speaking, who is listening? Everyone needs to speak up. Have a voice. "Be a different you." I attempted but all I seem to do is drown in these voices. These opinions. It's one thing to speak up but... Continue Reading →
If one day I have to explain what is it like to live in the city I belong to, Singapore, I think this is what I'll say: We live in boxes stacked on top of each other. These boxes we call flats. They have fancy names too; HDBs, condominiums. If you're richer or wealthier, you... Continue Reading →
As they lay there, tears rolled down her face. So did his. No words were spoken. They had the same fear. The fear of losing someone you hold so dear...one day. This fear looms over everyone but it seems especially amplified between them. They are, a void of emptiness, wanting to be filled after all.... Continue Reading →
We are all a little damaged and yet we hope that someday, someone would come along and fix us. I'm not exactly a motivational figure who will cajole someone and tell them that everything will be alright. Instead, I think that no matter what issues or problems you face, it's ultimately a personal battle you... Continue Reading →
It always seems easier to have someone there for you, to accompany you for movies, to play games with you and even (in my case), travel with you. The lure of having company whilst doing these activities sealed the fate of our one-sided relationship. Maybe at some point, the feelings were mutual but slowly over... Continue Reading →
