  • { Mini Cultural Exchange }

    Around the end of last year / start of dis year, we had some exchange students in our class. I only rlly rmb one of them, who was a girl from South Korea, mainly becos she was in a group wif some of us for an assignment. For dis story, let’s call her Karina (hehe).… Read more

  • { A Big No-no }

    Don’t u hate it when ur mood gets ruined by other people? It’s even worse when it’s becos of strangers. Like bruh, I dun even noe u, but here u are, making my day slightly worse 🤦 I mean, I’ve had enuf unpleasant interactions wif strangers, whether its my or their fault, to noe not… Read more

  • { Might as well… }

    When it’s raining heavily enough dat I needa use my umbrella, I wld deliberately walk the path dat has the least shelter available. To me, it’s a means of maximising my umbrella usage, ensuring shielding from the most amount of water droplets from the sky as possible. It feels like something I might as well… Read more

  • { Minor Inconvenience }

    It’s not everyday in dis city dat our daily routines r disrupted by things beyond our control. Things like the works of strangers, and the wonders of nature, aren’t exactly put into consideration when one is planning out their day. So, it’s always amusing when it does happen. As I was making my way to… Read more

  • { 67 }

    One of my modules in school is for teaching fitness and sports to preschool kids. On one hand, I wonder if dis is necessary becos I never did any sports as part of my kindergarten curriculum. Then I rmb dat I was quite the chubby kid back in the day, so yea it’s probably impt.… Read more

  • { Eugene the monk }

    Every once in awhile, while walking around anywhere, u might encounter a monk, just casually going abt his day, before or after work. It’s kinda hard not to notice them, especially cos they’re bald and in their full uniform. I can’t help but think dat they’ve walked all the way there, straight from the temple.… Read more

  • { Songs for da Soul }

    Life’s been slightly busier lately. As a student, dat kinda sucks. I rlly dun enjoy having to commit to multiple things at once. But alas, das how the world forces u to be productive. So I’ve been pretty tired lately, and dun rlly have much energy to do a whole lot, outside of wats needed… Read more

  • { K-pop & “Fake Love” }

    Peter Crouch wrote in one of his autobiographies abt the importance of British politicians showing some interest in football. Even if they aren’t actly concerned abt it, they gotta at least pretend they are. Otherwise, they’d be seen as “abnormal” or “out of touch” wif the common person, and nobody’s gonna wanna vote for some… Read more

  • { 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
