A Night in Photos

July 10, 2008 / Culture, Daily Life

Two months ago, I posted an entry chronicling a day spent in Toronto with my boyfriend. See A Day in Photos. This time, I will chronicle a night spent in Singapore with my best friend, ID. 6.15PM: From Ritzy Restaurant to High-Class Hawker ID and I met up yesterday to conceptualize a new layout for our new…



A Day in Photos

May 13, 2008 / Daily Life, Site Updates

Prologue Sorry for being away from the blog scene the past week. I’ve been extremely busy preparing for my return to Singapore next week; renting out my room, packing up, buying last minute stuff has been incredibly time-consuming and taxing. I’ll be blogging erratically for the next 2 weeks. Hopefully, by then I think I’ll be…

February 22, 2008 / Daily Life, Site Updates

Here’s my graduation picture, as promised! I look quite strange. Apparently, the fuzzy white line represents the University of Toronto and the black stripe below represents that I will graduate with a Bachelors of Arts or Science. (Arts, in my case) I’ve been swamped with essay deadlines from now until 9th April. So, I will…

The whole room was speaking in Singlish/Manglish or what’s left…



Arduous Path to Graduation

February 2, 2008 / Daily Life

I had an appointment with the photographer to take my graduation photo on the worse day possible; the one day when 30cm of snow was to fall. Even my winter boots couldn’t save me from the treacherous walk through Queen’s Park. I almost slipped twice. Thanks to my fast reflexes, my hands broke my fall…



Cleaned My Room; Cleaned State of Mind

January 23, 2008 / Daily Life

My latest toilet companion, Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, told me that a person’s room can reflect part of their personality and mental health – like their anal retentiveness (woot! more toilet allusions!) and self-confidence. In light of that, I immediately went to clean my room. Not that it was messy to begin with but it wasn’t…
