I've shifted/moved.

Maybe it's the itchy fingers trying to complete a report but ended up so in want of a distraction that made it click on another website. Haha. I've been writing here since 2006. That's 4.5 years already. In retrospect, the many real-life stories that have occurred the past few years have caused a shift in my mindset and to grow ( Read more... )

 3 out of 8 submissions/presentations down.

1 module complete.

5 more deadlines to meet.

Oh my gosh. Year 4 has passed so fast! It's close to 7 months since I went to UK.

whoah..... If we don't take stock of life, we'll be dead before we know it.

An unplanned pregnancy.

That's what it feels like now.

The irony. I don't want kids. I don't want commitment. I don't want a relationship. I may be getting all these and more - soon if everything goes according to someone else's plan.

Well, they say you can never be really ready or prepared until it hits you right in the face. I wonder how my parents ( Read more... )

 妳說妳還是喜歡孤單
其實妳怕被我看穿
妳怕屬於我們的船
漂漂蕩蕩靠不了岸

事到如今沒有答案
我的真心為妳牽絆
不管相見的夜多麼難堪
簡簡單單的說　愛是不愛

想要把妳忘記真的好難
思念的痛在我心裡糾纏
朝朝暮暮的期盼　永遠沒有答案
為何當初妳選擇一刀兩斷

聽妳說聲愛我真的好難
曾經說過的話風吹雲散
站在天秤的兩端　一樣的為難
唯一的答案　愛一個人好難

In about 2 months time, I'll be reaching 23. That's just 1 year left to the dream I once told my secondary school friends beside the 2nd storey staircase landing in school! Our teacher was on M.C. so we had to sit outside of class and 'do work'. Who does school work when you have your friends all around you? Of course we started yakking.

Chinatown when it was bustling and authentically lived-in.

Does it mean that the current Chinatown is not authentic just because it is a designated tourist attraction and the place has undergone a change in activities? Previously it was a place for the Chinese community to live, work and somehow, if they managed to - play. Today, it's still a place ( Read more... )

Somehow, I'm just really drawn by this dress by Lanvin for their spring/summer 2011 collection. Maybe its the large swathe of cloth floating  beside the model, maybe its the jeweled hue of red or the simplicity and contrast of the fitting toga top and A-line dress separated by a muted camel coloured belt.

 Previously, there was some contemplation to be a nurse at 17. However, my mother was very against it.Yesterday, I cringed and felt sick in the stomach when I was briefed by the doctor that my Grandma had to go through an open brain surgery OR an endovescular one. (through the vein). I TOTALLY CANNOT be in the health industry and I admire those who ( Read more... )

 In Singapore, Chinese with hanyu pinyin and a English name is structured in this manner:

,
So it would be Tan Ah Long, Ryan.

In the UK, the structure changes a little.

You become Ah Long Ryan Tan

And when English people address you, they put your name down as Ah Tan (First name followed by last name).

And all my friends who were so used to being ( Read more... )
