  • { Beach Episode: Part 2 }

    So I turned to my left and right, to make sure I wasn’t in some, u noe, “Peter Parker in Spiderman 1” kind of situation… But dis made me more confused, as I didn’t recognise any of these women. They were all in their swimwear, and some even had pretty mean-looking tattoos, which juxtaposed wif… Read more

  • { Beach Episode: Part 1 }

    U noe how there’s beach volleyball? The beach version of regular volleyball, with less people, and played exclusively by giants? There’s oso beach soccer, like futsal, but on sand, which actly makes it way more tiring than it seems. Then there’s beach rugby, which I only learnt abt becos of my friend, whom we’ll call… Read more

  • { Instagram Woes }

    I’ve been back to using Instagram for a couple of months now. I had previously deleted the app, as well as my account, around a year or two ago. From wat I’ve seen, it’s still mostly the same, wif the exception of some new features, which I’d prolly not use anyways, lol. As to why… Read more

  • { Origin Story }

    So I bumped into my Primary 1 / Primary 2 teacher the other day. I hadn’t seen her in abt 15 years now, but recognised her immediately as we crossed paths. She was in a rush becos it was past 7am and she needed to get to school for morning assembly (hehe, good times), but… Read more

  • { Futsal Noob }

    One of my favourite pastimes is kicking my football around wif a buddy of mine. We’d go to a court or a field, pass the ball around, sometimes long, sometimes short, and sometimes some tricks and a couple one-twos for the lols. All while chatting and catching up wif each others’ lives. Very casual, like… Read more

  • { Not a Hero 2 }

    There’s a gym here in sunny Woodlands dat requires a long, shelter-less walk to get there. Usually it’s fine, most of us won’t even notice it’s unsheltered. The problem comes when that sunny weather turns to rain. Suddenly, the lack of shelter becomes a big issue. The difficulty level of accessing the gym rises significantly.… Read more

  • { Fields of Gold }

    My long walks in solitude are done at golden hour. After 6pm seems to be the usual time. I used to think that was a coincidence. But maybe it’s more of an unconscious routine. The sun’s still bright but the heat doesn’t glare. Enough to break a sweat, yet not overbearing. Winds aren’t often present,… Read more

  • { Gareth Bale }

    I’m gonna be real and say dat exercising isn’t exactly the most joyful thing in the world. Sometimes it’s fun, yes. But most of the time it’s a necessary evil dat we need to overcome, so as to not become too overweight or unhealthy.  For me personally right now, I think just keeping my BMI… Read more

  • { Ultraman Z }

    As I reach home, I am greeted with an unexpected sight. My 60 year-old father is lying on the couch, with the show Ultraman Z playing on the TV in front of him. Ok… I am fully supportive of embracing one’s inner child. I think it’s commendable for people to retain a child-like and open-minded… Read more
