In the past month, I have had many conversations on the past year. Inevitably, most of it has been about work. The sessions ans chats with friends, colleagues and bosses has caused me to be introspective to a fault this past month. It has also been compounded by many afternoons spent alone at home with […]
Last used this space when I was a student in London. Am I here again because I am nostalgic for my time there? It’s a rainy afternoon here in Singapore…perhaps that is it. Since then. I started on a profession that I had been preparing for since I was 15 years old. it’s strange to […]
On the roof, that’s the only place I know Look at the city, baby Where you just have to wish to make it so Let’s go up on the roof And at night the stars they put on a show for free And, darling, you can share it all with me That’s what I said Keep on telling you That right […]

Received a text a few days ago from a friend who needed to cancel on our afternoon appointment. He used the phrase, “time is just going so fast” to explain why he could not make it to London in time. Of course, I understood that his travel plans were delayed and therefore he wouldn’t be […]
I’ve gotten used to living here in London. In fact, I find myself feeling more and more comfortable around the city. I even manage to find my way around – mixing up the tube, bus and walking, somemore – without getting too lost. My parents would be so proud of me. Hell, I’m proud of […]
Read. I’ve read more in the past one month than I have all year. Despite my initial frustration to the lack of connectivity via 3G on the tube, I like how it has facilitated my rehabilitation to reading like a child. So I’ve jumped onto the Murakami bandwagon and for this week, I’m going to […]
It’s another rainy morning. The English talk a lot about the rain and make a good deal of feeling sorry for themselves because it is grey, cold and wet outside. I love it. When the sun comes out, London is hella pretty. To immerse myself in the culture, I’ve been watching some English television. Been […]
approximately 2.5 years ago, T and I had a long discussion over which smartphone we would simultaneously start using. We wanted a gadget that had the technology that would enable us to communicate everyday, at any time and have the least lag time in sending/receiving msgs. Needless to say, it was BBM that won us […]
it's just another day now.
