More than a year ago, I was a college student in the US. I never wanted to come back. I loved my life there, my friends, the wide open spaces, the friendly people, my independence.
And then I graduated. I begged the Lord to let me stay, to let me continue with the life I’ve built. But as the time went on and getting a permanent job seemed impossible, it became clear that it was time to go home… to Singapore.
The past year has been rough. Settling down back home seemed harder than leaving the US. Singapore had changed so much in 2 years and not all for the better.
A new job, a new life, a new environment. This blog gives you a glimpse into my chaotic head and my transitions through life’s never ending changes.
Sometimes messy, sometimes skeptical, sometimes nonsensical. Always honestly me.

So an update on my battle with Starhub.After making a lot of noise, spending hours with customer relations officers and making their life miserable (only way to make them solve the problem is to make them wanna get me off their back), the technician from Starhub came down. They finally changed our modem and changed ...

Of all my criticisms of George W. Bush, I do have to be fair. He was president during a very very very hard and testing time. If Clinton or Obama were president when 9/11 happened, would they be so popular? It is easy to stand at the side pointing fingers, but when thrown into situations ...

Kudos to the National Environmental Agency in Singapore who is making more places smoke-free. I hope that Singapore will eventually become totally smoke-free. No smokers. It’ll help their health and save their $$. Also, keep the air cleaner.Plus, I won’t have to be forced to breathe in those toxic fumes just because someone else has ...

Work has been rough. And it’s more to do with my current attitude towards work than any other factor.I’m tired and annoyed at it. It’s not what I wanted it to be nor envisioned. The work I’m doing… to me, they are meaningless and just “busy work”, with no real impact on people’s lives. Just ...

Day 1We arrived early morning, tired and drained from the 13 hours of flying in a crammed and recycled-air plane. After an amazingly fast custom clearance, we hopped on the underground (train station, like Singapore’s MRT, but more intricate and complex) and navigated through its many stairs, tunnels and walkways, till we finally made it ...
