For Anyone Who Has Felt They Don’t Fit In
That’s me all the time. That I don’t fit in or don’t measure up in this world. That no one recognises your value. A value you doubt yourself on a daily basis. Perhaps there’s a planet out there where I … Continue reading

Income Disparity
I felt sad and guilty when I saw this old lady working really hard and hunched over in front of the newly opened Cafe at Wisma. I often spot elderly people like her, clearing tables at the food court. They … Continue reading

Where Borders used to be – Desolation
Guess I am being overly dramatic, but it’s just sad to see Borders replaced by a John Little’s sales area. Seems so temporary and nothing here was tempting. With the carpets removed and the cement floors exposed it also made … Continue reading

As Borders Singapore’s Wheelock outlet closes, I wonder what will replace it
Although I prefer to shop for books at Kinokuniya, the store has been so iconic that it’s quite sad to see it go. I hope a bookstore or cafe takes the spot and it’s not another clothing or Tech store. … Continue reading

When All a Scene Needs is an Elton John Song

Update: Singapore has been getting a spate of bad news lately. When a child loses a parent, no matter how old they are, it is a tragedy. When a person loses their spouse and life partner, my heart feels for … Continue reading
You are My Sunshine
Lost my cousin recently and I sang this song softly to him when I was deeply missing him, but couldn’t continue each time, because it always choked me up. When I think of him, I think of yellow and the … Continue reading
