Bright Star

A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness… (Endymion) Just caught Bright Star over the weekend. Here’s my favourite scene from the movie. The explosion of violet on the big screen just got me to stop breathing for a while. More on this sweet movie and [...]

At the gym

www.creativelydifferentblinds.com When I arrived in gym class today in my college PE t-shirt and FBTs from secondary school, I knew I was a little different from my Adidas skintight figure-baringly clothed classmates. Never mind that, they’d get that I am new. My comparable youth will endear me to them, maybe be a little of an [...]

Bad Hair Days Made Good

cubeme.com I hate hairstyles which don’t take into account my hair or my face. Especially catalog ones which require hours of styling, a bottle of hairspray, wax, gel you-name-its, just to recreate the look everyday. In general,  it always ends up in something only a little short of disaster. And possibly two months of hairband, lots [...]

Walking On Water

Last Saturday we took a boat out from punggol marina, wriggling in our seats like eels from excitement. As we sped along the waves, the wind ran its fingers through our hair, and tree-fronted islets raced past – the stuff of old-school mtvs. All the while the likes of Queen and Guns & Roses were [...]

2010… hmm what??? I’m not over 2009!

Last year, my family and I spent New Year’s Eve skiing on the slopes of YongPyong: read South Korean tourist and winter-sonata-enthusiasts ski hotspot. We didn’t plan for all this [...]

How to (sort of) recapture your childhood

What do these two have in common? Saturday we trooped down to the indoor stadium for a rare trip. We started off with what any self-preserving young adults would do late Saturday morning after a week’s work – have very decadent brunch at a sweet French bistro facing the Kallang River. Amidst mango sorbet and [...]

Christmas Came Early!

Ok I admit. I OD-ed on books this weekend. The air in my room is still wreathed in an airy light-headedness. And I still can’t help but giggle when I open my shiny new bag to reveal the weekend’s spoils. I’d really like to parade them around but for the lack of shelves. My floor [...]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COW!

It’s 26 degrees. In equatorial Singapore, this is freezing weather. I have goosebumps on my legs. And so I should really be dreaming of sunny beach islands. While waiting in the very long line to talk to you, I navigate through facebook for sun-scorched memories in meek escapism. And instead. I end up here. Winter-holidaying [...]

Tired

I should stop letting everybody’s problems turn into mine. I am so tired of all this unabashedness. Don’t really see all of them at my side when I need help anyway. Except you, of course *** Karma dealt me a good hand last night though. I left my handphone in a taxi and the driver [...]
