I'm an Elitist? NOPE.
” Sometimes I wonder if you look down on me, because u live in Semi D and I live in a HDB flat.”
It’s not just one person who has said this to me, its been one “close friend” after another way back when I gave a shit about friendships and people to bother with kind words and reassurances, when in fact I’m wondering when the fuck I gave off the vibe that I look...

Of racism.
I’m not gonna talk about racism in Singapore. Because I’m part of the majority race here, and there is no way I can understand the experience of minorities with various levels of racism as a Singaporean. And I won’t try.
I would like to talk about racism itself. And my own encounters and perspectives on the issue.
To be honest, I see myself more colourblind than most. Maybe...

We can all agree SMRT has done a phenomenally bad job at damage control (especially when your VP for Communications seems to be inept at… communicating), but this, Yew Hing, is pushing it a bit far. Are you listening to your ridiculous self?…

Journalising.
No one I know really gets my obsession with organizers. Even I did not know it’s such a big thing to me till I went through them today. I really do spend alot of time alone filling up these pages. See for yourself:
This was used back in Pre U days. I tore out alot of pages because they were untidy. Self hate.
Stickers and neoprints of the emo nerd brigade. Never was the cool likeable...
Believing.
I still believe in music, just not bandmates.
I still believe in love, just not lovers.
I still believe in humanity, just not humans.
I believe in myself, just not myself with others.

I wish I had time to get into book binding hardcore. When I’m old I spose, seems like a fairly cheap hobby.

he/she
When I was in primary school I was constantly corrected in my compositions because I used he/she instead of just “he” when I was making general statements. Even though teachers would tell me “he” was enough, i continued till one particular teacher started deducting marks for it ( yeah for rizzles.)
I remember how uncomfortable it felt to just use “he” when...
I do, and I understand
I asked my cards for advice and I got the 8 of Pentacles. If this is an otherwordly intervention, I thank the universe for the strength and for being patient with me.
_The Eight of Pentacles is the first card of its suit to touch explicity on the spiritual realm, though it does so briefly and in certain circumstances only. Most of the time it refers to a time of hard work and dedication on the...

Popin Cookin! Sushi Set!
So this Japanese candy madness has finally arrived on our shores eh? So excite!
To those who are not aware ( you’re not stalking me enough! Good idea.) I’ve been hopelessly hooked on these youtube channels RRCherrypie and Emmymadeinjapan which feature DIY candy assembly kits. So of course when I realised that Popin cookin and Kracie candy are now available at Nex, I headed down and...

Submission:
I’m still too constipated to react.
WTF Why ain't I jaded yet?
Was looking through my old journal/organiser back in 2004 ( I think), and found this random rambling about Ten Foot Lallang, that zine that I never did:
” We don’t know shit and we don’t pretend we know. The shit we do know is not worth knowing and that’s really why people start projects like this no?”
You know that’s how I feel right now. I don’t know...

This music thing.
Lets go down memory lane. Rich with experiences given my ripe and saucy age.
When I was 18 ( I think) I started singing in front of people. Before that, no one knew a thing about my love for warbling out a tune. I did not join the relevant CCAs, I lied that I could not sing and hid in the back mouthing the words when chosen for the choir. I sang straight and even faked bad notes when singled out...
Fail or lose.
One major perk of teaching Secondary level English is reading and dissecting comprehension passages with my kids. I don’t remember such thought provoking content when I was doing O-levels, or maybe I was just too wet behind the ears to really appreciate the ideas.
One such article I just read discusses the merits of failure. And how it’s different from losing. To fail is to learn and...

Death
I woke up unable to look away from the craters in my soul today. It may be a good thing. The attraction to the colour purple has gone. It was a powerful phase and I was holding on to the ghost of it. What is to come is a rather unpopular penchant for teal. The colour that does not attract. The colour that retreats and forces me to look within by taking away all other distractions. I don’t...

WHY. Why the england like that, why?
But then I suppose a badly written email is better than:
Full context here.
Feeling feelings.
Why do I like being drunk so much? It helps me to see into myself, things I ignore for the sake of my sanity and the sanity of the folks around me.
I’ve gotten much better now compared to the salad days when I was so reckless and devoid of self value. But nonetheless, no matter how much I might steer away from who I used to be, there are things at the source that remain. And they pop up...

My Xmas haul!
Check out the schtuff I got in December! I’m reeling from the haul!
Thanks to Chloe I got to go for Victoria Secret’s new fragrance launch where we had free booze and makeovers! And there I fell in love with Victoria Secret’s “Tease” perfume! Like my mum I’m a sucker for fancy scents, I haven’t bought something so indulgent in like….years! The...
Remember December
So I had a nice day yesterday, Not just because of the fun and random activities, but because it had a good dose of everything. Things going according to plan as well as chance discoveries, all coming together to dissipate the rotten sense of ennui rendering me hollow and physically ill the days following the hyper state of performing 4 days in a row.
Being outside in the morning with B,...
