It's been two and a half years in Singapore after what I planned would be a 3 month stint to drop a boyfriend and head off to India where I'd hit my stride as a Bollywood movie star. God daaaamn it's been crazy and unfathomable but somehow the realisation has ever so slowly has crept up, one step at a time- a slow, steady breath in and a gentle ( Read more... )

I left off in Rome, where I was enduring a 10 hour layover stuck and injured in the airport before the final flight to Tel Aviv. The chances were high and I was susceptible  to falling asleep at the gate of my flight an hour before and missing it completely, and when I actually did fall asleep and wake up with a jolt however long later I was wide ( Read more... )

This is a story I never thought I'd be able to tell, because I'm going somewhere I never imagined I'd go. For a person that travels as frequently as I do, it might be odd to hear there are places I still find unfathomable and untouchable, but Israel is more to me than a small sliver of much debated geographical boundaries with a history of ( Read more... )

The day is cool and calm and yet there's a burning of anticipation and underlying anxiety that never ceases when within city limits. Thailand is one of the most tantalizing and surreal of a reality as ever could be. It's a therapy and retreat, a shelter, institution and the worst of tremors as sensations roll. Never have I loved, yearned, feared ( Read more... )

My body is beat. Last week I went to check out Ritual, a new circuit training studio nearby, and I ended up going back every day as the name may subtly suggest. The concept is lovely and easily adoptable for those who keep a jam packed schedule. Within 30 minutes at Ritual you'll have enough time to be thoroughly worked out to the point of ( Read more... )

This trip to Tokyo was like a very welcomed knock upside the head and a welcomed change from the day in, day out event called Singapore. It's easy to remember that there's a big world out there ready for exploration and experiences, but in some frustration stationary I forgot that Singapore, in all it's shine, accessibility and excessibility is ( Read more... )

There's comes a moment where for many women, and some men too, you realize something has to change. It doesn't necessarily need to be drastic, but you're delighted having the possibility that it could be. The moment can happen at any time, but usually it come unexpected in an instant of looking left as you cross the street, or reaching down to ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here at home tonight in the silence. It's one of the seldom evenings I have to spend at home and the though occurred to catch up and see what had been going on in blog or two that I read with more time to spare.

And the thought occurred to me - Theresa.... what has she been up to for the last 4 years? Creative and vibrant writer, ( Read more... )

Picking up where one left off isn't always easy and sometimes it's downright impossible when you look back and realize the path you took is much different than the path you had initially intended. Regardless of where life may take you, it's always wise to have an idea of where you'd like to go. While some of us remain content in a world familiar,  ( Read more... )

It's been almost 2 months now since I've been back in Singapore and I'm happy to be settling in without any forseeable plans to go elsewhere for quite a while (except for a trip to the States in July and India in Autumn. Oh, and Hong Kong next month as well!) I've got a place to keep my things now, besides the two suitcases which are still waiting ( Read more... )
