I just came to the realisation, some time this morning, that due to the fact that I won't be having any exams for both my units this semester, I'm going to have a buttload of assignments. Is it strange that while I'm feeling a little stressed out at the amount of school work that needs to get done, a part of me is excited at the prospect of doing assignments? I'm weird that …
Looking back to the teen that I was, I couldn't believe how angsty I was. If I could do one thing to make me less of a miserable person, I wish I could send a letter to that teenage girl that I was and tell her that life won't be all that bad. (via bixentro) Dear Teenage Me, At sixteen life might feel so hard. You might be wondering why the world is against you. Or why …
I love books. If you haven't realised this by now, you must have just started reading this blog or you just don't know me very well. On top of loving books, I also hoard them. I have multiple plastic storage boxes full of books that are read and a few more boxes filled with books that I have yet to start reading. This, of course, doesn't stop me from wanting and adding more …
Via masahiko I turn 29 today and I just realised that it's the last year of my twenties. By the time next birthday (hopefully) comes around, I would have left my twenties and start a new decade. I'm not really sure how I feel about that. A number of things changed since my last birthday. You can't go through life without getting knocked down but you just learn to pick … 
Via sylvar Most people wouldn't realise that I've actually lost a lot of weight. I've always been slender but lately, I've lost enough weight that I'm the same weight I was four years ago. My ribs, collar bone and even my elbows are more pronounced now. My clothes and especially my jeans are much looser. It says a lot when I actually have to put on a belt and I had to hook … 
The fasting month always brings with it weird cravings. When you can't eat for the whole day, you start craving for things that you wouldn't normally would have. That's what happened to me. I was telling everyone that I was craving cow; a whole cow. I had such an intense craving for meat that all I could think about for the whole of last week was meat, meat, meat, meat and … 
Every Eid, my family would go back to my dad's home town to visit my paternal grandmother and other relatives. This year wasn't any different even though my grandmother passed away the day after Christmas last year. The journey started late as my dad had to do his Friday prayers before we left. We knew that the house wasn't going to be the same without her but we didn't …
Today marks the last day of Ramadhan, meaning that the Muslims in Singapore and Malaysia will be celebrating Eid tomorrow. The month has been rather challenging for me, seeing that I was sick the first half of the month. When you have a cold and unable to take fluids and meds, it just makes your cold a lot worse. Fortunately, I got a visit from 'Aunt Flo' on the second week, …
I've only had one day of school so far and I'm exhausted. I could barely wake up this morning and with a backache to boot but that could just be me lacking in sleep due to the fasting month. Last night was only a briefing for one of the classes, where the lecturer explained how the seminars are going to be conducted and how the class was going to be assessed. It's a huge …
On Saturday, The AdCrew (Sarah, Joelyn, Avariel and I) went to the former Istana Kampung Gelam (or the Kampung Gelam Palace, in English) which had been converted into the Malay Heritage Centre. The last time I was there, it was only for a short while, to see the Photographs of Malaya Exhibit, from the early 1800s to early 1900s. I didn't have time to go through the main …
This is still my favourite festive ad, to date. Just remember, always buckle up before driving. It might save your life in more ways than one.
It's the beginning of September and it feels like we just had the New Years sometime last week. Time flies doesn't it? Everyone in Singapore is celebrating Teacher's Day, one way or another. I'm celebrating it by not making a list of the teachers I hated through school. See what a good thing I'm doing? Anyway, school's supposed to start next week but …
Are the sexiest ones. Or so they tell me. 28th of August was the Read Comics In Public Day and seeing that my friends and I are big fans of comic books, we decided to do just that and take pictures of ourselves and do what we do best; post the pictures online. I met Raven Silvers, Seriously Sarah, Joelyn Alexandra and Avariel at train station as we'd planned to go to The …
Darling it ain't easy, Zee Avi Darling it ain't easy For us to say goodbye But I just hope that we have better lives
As I got ready for work today, it feels different. It feels like another morning but yet, not really, like I was at home and yet, not. I don't understand it either. The only way that I could describe it is, as if I was back in Australia, getting up and getting ready to start the day in a country that isn't mine but at the same time, with a sense of being at home. It …
I've been sick these past few days. Being a germ factory means that I can't go out and meet my friends, so it'll be the best time to kick back, relax and catch up in the thins that I've missed, namely reading my ever growing pile of comic books. Almost every week, I would go down to the comic book store to pick up my single issues but I don't usually have the time to read … 
Despite all the bad reviews and all the things that I've heard people say about the movie adaptation of it, I went to watch it last night. Dude wanted to watch it after reading a seemingly good review of the movie in a magazine. I thought, why not. Since I've watched the original series, everyone told me that I will most probably be disappointed with it. They changed too …
Last week, I was craving for caramelised onions but I just didn't have time to make any. Someone asked if there was even such a thing. My jaw dropped and I couldn't believe that they had never heard of caramelised onions before. Seriously, what kind of burgers have they been eating?! What's even sadder, a simple Google search would have led the person to not just the …
At this present moment, I'm at work, supposedly looking busy and doing work related things but as in the previous posts, I'm having trouble trying to focus on what needs to be done …
Unfocused, unable to concentrate on a single task, be it writing a blog post, a story or just an outline of one. Or even to read a book or comic to completion. Beautiful and appreciated. Happier than I've ever been in a long, long time. Like dropping everything and going off somewhere quiet and away from people, just to get my focus back. That things happen for a reason, …
