Been Stuck, & About Those Library Books I Need to Return Pronto
The words haven’t been stuck but I’ve been reluctant to share what’s on my mind as it all seems just too self-indulgent or worried my private thoughts may be misconstrued. Now and then I do get depressed and anxious over … Continue reading

Embarrassing Writing
Is writing when you’re half asleep similar to drunk dialing? I wouldn’t know, as I’ve never been drunk. But I envision the embarrassment is similar. It is the most honest reflection of life though, so I’ll leave it. I had … Continue reading
Invisible Chains. I Want to Break Them.

The Outfield – Your Love
I’m crazy about this song right now – Your Love by The Outfield. And reminds me how I loved the 80’s. A good time to be a teen. The era of the big hair, areobics and ridiculous shoulder pads. So … Continue reading
Hyper-Connected & I Think It’s Bad for Me
I miss the old days. For me that was the early 90’s before I owned a handphone. I used to focus and seemed to get a lot more done. Things were slower paced at work, but interactions were higher quality. … Continue reading

Deepavali Panic
Deepavali decorations are up at Serangoon Road and for me it signals the end of the year and all the things I meant up but failed to achieve. Yes, I’m being gloomy rather than positive. I guess I could look … Continue reading
Thanks for Sticking By
I have been tardy with the blogging due to lack of inspiration. I’m an all or nothing person. When I do something I tend to go all out, and when I stop I just go to zilch. I need to … Continue reading

Time is Precious
I haven’t been writing from the heart. Being afraid of revealing too much and loosing my privacy. Writing from the heart is what comes naturally to me so that’s why I’ve been having writer’s block. It’s a self imposed state. … Continue reading
I Have to Quit Hay Day
It’s so embarrassing that I keep getting into these phone game addictions. I’m someone who never gambles and don’t see the appeal at all but when the lucky spinning wheel appears in this iPhone game, I get so excited. When … Continue reading

Obsessed with Numbers & Loving the iPhone App, Clear
The number on the scale, the number of visitors on my blog stats. Wish I wasn’t so obsessed with numbers. My life seems to be too ruled by this. I tell myself to focus on quality and try to forget … Continue reading

Almost Choked on a Pill the Other Day
Often I read a blog post and I can absolutely relate. I totally understand Rene’s fear of swallowing pills. I hate swallowing pills too. It’s why I never take pills that are good for you like those fish oil tablets that … Continue reading
A Day at Vivo: What’s New
Surprised to see H&M open where the National Geographic store used to be. I quite like the kiddie clothes here. Cute hair and phone assessories too – cute pink walrus iphone cover. And I do like how mustard and navy … Continue reading

Constantly Feeling Overwhelmed

At Plaza Singapura Again: thoughts about queues
Talking about pretty designs, I’m loving the new white Starbucks mugs with the embossed logo and wonder how much they cost. Finally got a seat at the Starbucks outlet at Plaza Singapura’s new wing. We came here to try the … Continue reading

Blue Skies, I Miss You
The haze has got me longing for blue skies in Singapore. I haven’t been appreciating our blue skies much, in spite of the heat, now that the smoke has robbed us of that. Well perhaps I have (look at my … Continue reading

Away for Quite a While
Been down with a fever and felt time fleeting away. I don’t ever want to fall sick again (if that’s possible). Can still recall the great discomfort of the heat rising from my lids and being unable to do anything … Continue reading
Trivial
With current world events, and so much tragedy and cruelty (Boston Marathon bombing, rape in India, earthquakes) in the forefront, I often feel that we are in a unreal materialistic sheltered bubble in Singapore. What I write about seems so … Continue reading

Birthday Cake Memories
Wrote about my birthday cake memories. Remember when you were a child and the big reveal – when the cake box was opened for the first time and everyone marvelled? There was something magical about that. And who doesn’t like cake … Continue reading

Paralysed by Fear
In my head I know all the right steps to take, but I am paralysed by fear. Fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of not being good enough. I know I shouldn’t care because what could be the worse … Continue reading

Internet Break
Sometimes I feel it’s important to take an internet break. For me it’s just to rest my eyes and recharge myself. Find my writing is getting stale and I need to read and live more before I get back to … Continue reading
