Feel free to give whatever kind of answer you want to give.

(I'll explain later on.)

Oh, you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you -- gently, with love, and hand your life back to you.

Rest in peace, Gab Doller.  My condolences to his family and his friends.

I find it disturbing and distressing that this is the third time I'm ( Read more... )

The rain was in full blast when the bus dropped me off in front of the IMM Building.  I was ready to make a dash for the entrance.  It wasn't too far off but far enough that I knew I would still get reasonably drenched.  But an old lady sitting at the bus stop called my attention and pulled out her umbrella.  In a severe voice she told me, "Don't ( Read more... )

If you haven't eaten what meal you're supposed to eat, I suggest you skip this post.  It's one of those days when I can't seem to think of anything but strange thoughts, some of them unpleasant.  This falls under unpleasant, but I thought it would be fun to note it down.

Out of all things that exist, I hate cockroaches the most.  I loathe ( Read more... )

It's already been a week since I've been in Singapore.  Looking back, I could say the transition from home to living alone in Singapore was smoother than expected.  My friend Davy (dah-VEE; from Cambodia) and I agreed that although we always miss home, we don't feel homesick.  Although, I have to admit, there were points when I felt incredibly ( Read more... )

They don't come up to me, but initially, I'm always spoken to in Mandarin.  (Unless I'm speaking to an Indian.  Indians, I'm convinced now, have very pretty English.  I ( Read more... )

Thank you for the well wishes, everyone!

Hahah, I think I have to remind myself that I don't have to behave like a tourist now that I'm in Singapore.  What I mean is I don't have to fill each day with activity, hopping from one point to another.  There's plenty of time for that.  And why do I say this?  Because I had a list of things planned today ( Read more... )

So three days have practically gone by and I'm doing fine.  Admittedly, I haven't done laundry yet (I intend to do so on Wednesday or Thursday).  I'm pretty sure that that 'fine' will be a different story by then.  But generally, I'm adjusting well.

I could write in narrative form, but that isn't very fun to do.  I actually intended to video log, ( Read more... )

Sometimes, I overlook the fact that older people (i.e. my father's generation) know how to use technology.

While on our way to my grandmother's house, my father began his spiel with the topic of blogging.  He talked about Bryan Boy (dwelling on the fact he's gay.  Oh, papa.) and how interesting the blogging world generally is.  He has a friend that ( Read more... )
