it changes everything, when you’re close to me
Somewhere, sometime ago, God saw the line, stretching from the rural parts of North Vietnam to the icy streets of Kingston. Somewhere in that heat of East Coast Park, God lit the spark.
And he didn’t give up, gave me breath, gave me a fuel and kept my flame alive.
Somehow, he decided to pick the needle out of the haystack. The set up: December 2005 — I am sitting on the bathroom...

trust me. I won’t hurt.
In 2011, we saw some of the most horrific things that’s ever occurred in our lifetime. We lost a lot of things: jobs, battles, people, friends, loved ones, bits and pieces of ourselves.
But in the midst of it all we saw beauty. Beauty in the darkness moments right before the break of dawn. Beauty in the fall, the scrapes, the lessons learned; in the breaking of the heart and weakling of...

Christmas with snow is a different kind of Christmas. Lights light up the rooms, windows, and roads; now they’re lighting up my heart.
I’m finally starting to settle down, breathe a little easier, getting a little more comfortable in my skin. It hasn’t really come yet, but I don’t think I’ll dread the cold as much. 22 days to Christmas, I’m in the process of...

I like people who challenge me. People I like challenge me.
Where do I go with this?
Gravity is pulling against me.
This is good. I’m thinking more, writing more, which means things are getting beautiful. Soon I’ll be playing again.
It’s about time.
I realised now that, according to the school of business manual, I am the perfect candidate for my program. I’m very social. I can talk. I can work. I’m thrive under pressure. I’ve become superhuman when it comes to multitasking and processing my pile of work in a matter of days. I sit in the library and grind away essays, assignments, meetings. Caffeine, Work, caffeine, work,...

What is sleep?
I’m sitting in the common room, reminded how the name sounds and feels like Harry Potter. There’s a broom lying beside me on the ground, cobwebs hanging over the ceilings, left behind from Halloween decoration. I have Vice Verses in my ears and my floormates are not used to me being unusually sentimental. Hey guys, this is how I am pass 2am in the morning.
Life is...
thank You, for making me want to be a better person.
we begin forever now.

Shower, House, sleep.
Creative drought. I haven’t wrote anything in two months. I’ve moved on. Time to open up to people.
someday you’ll realised that you really have moved on.
life is a symphony.
good evening. i got slayed on my first exam.
comfort food. i’m gaining weight and losing my mind. when was the last time you studied for 12 hours straight?
University is madness. I love it.
I’ve crunched 30 hours of studying in the last 48 hours. I know it’s nothing compared to a lot of people, but that’s a big effort from someone like me. I’ve been here for a month and a half, and midterm is already here, waiting for in another 14 hours. No I am absolutely not prepared.
On the bright side, Mylo Xyloto is here on my...

here’s to you mr. and mrs. jones, someday I’ll be better at life than you.
music is the second best thing that’s ever happened to me. the first’s the obvious.
almost done with packing. man I didn’t realise I have accumulated so much stuff over the last one and a half year. moving is such a pain, and I’ve been moving for much of my life; my life=pain? hahaha. I need get myself excited for school. for now the only thing I can think of is ironing and organising my closet when I get there and decorating my room. goshhhhhh
when you’ve used up all your weak, all you have left is strong.

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

I want you more than my thoughts can contain I want you more than the sun wants the rain
I got a new laptop for school. No not a Mac but a PC. I’m trying to be less frivolous.
anyway, here’s for my first post on my new lappie. PD posted one of my favourite quotes on facebook today, “An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.” ~ Gandhi.
Yeah.
now what am I supposed to do with you? you were always wrong about me having a choice. I never had one, but I chose anyway.
but something still moves me inside.
Did anyone ever tell you not to yell at somebody when he or she is in the shower?
I’m one of the douches who spend eternity in the shower. I’m not proud of it but I’m not ashamed either. In fact I spend most of my time with the tap turned off. What I can say is, showering is the only time, in my family at least, where I can be alone and relax on a daily basis. I also write my...
run fast, faster than my bullet.
||46 I did calculated it to be 46 before some predisposing idea got my typing 48 instead on my facebook status.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, in some ways.
I used to feel amused by how cheesy national day songs sounded to me, or how a few f-16s are going to protect a handful millions on a arid island. They always said, Singapore has no resources, but it’s people. No one can live...
