181. all we find are altars in decay
“Backward we traveled to reclaim the day Before we fell, like Icarus, undone; All we find are altars in decay And profane words scrawled black across the sun.” ― Sylvia Plath

179. twenty-twelve
2012 – Helluva year it was. Scratch that, helluva December. A family member passed on, and to think I almost died or disappeared myself. Thankful toward Cat, Jill, Inez, KN and JW who talked me out of sheer gullibility – getting conned/raped/killed wherever they were bringing me to. Yes I’m dumb like that, I don’t…

176. CHRISTMAS EVE!
MAY THE ODD5 BE FOREVER IN YOUR FAVOUR Last minute decision to crash our way through, and am very glad good things came out of our delirium!! Finals babeh~ EXPO Hall 4 (i think), February 12. BE THERE? 😉 Teehee… Even if we don’t win, it really doesn’t matter. Am honestly happy enough to be…

173. chignon
Things to do before 2013: 1. Learn to twist my hair up in a chignon. 2. Get so accustomed to the bun that I can eat, sleep, dance, and live with it.

172. rare specimens of exotic breed
“We…we could be friends. We COULD be rare specimens of an exotic breed of dancing African elephants, but we’re not.” – Neil Gaiman, Coraline

169. rain on the roof and instant coffee
“Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives… and to the “good life”, whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.” – Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga…

163. humanoids
THIS IS A VERY ALIEN/ET/SPACESHIP SONG. With a very outer-space kinda dance. Changmin’s deep voice at the beginning…omg hot. I need to choreo to this!

162. urban picnic
Introducing, the best things that happened to me in the University: Gardens by the Bay is really pretty! Just less so in the hot sun and erratic weather, thus we consumed the picnic goodies beside the ticketing booth like a boss. I need to go there again in the night with the lights up! What…

158. universal language
“I’ve been lucky. Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.” – Audrey Hepburn Scheduled to start SIA training in January, but… Letting go of either one; I must be crazy.

156. clear your heart
Not the first time and it won’t be the last. When anyone or anything has done you wrong, be thankful for lesson learnt, accept and move on.

153. Paris and Winterson
“She was a committed romantic and an anarcha-feminist. This was hard for her because it meant she couldn’t blow up beautiful buildings. She knew the Eiffel Tower was a hideous symbol of phallic oppression but when ordered by her commander to detonate the lift so that no-one should unthinkingly scale an erection, her mind filled…

138. falling leaves
People actually read what I write. Amazed by the number of requests to follow/read + tweets after I locked this place for a while! I’m…back. I wish I understood the beauty in leaves falling. To whom are we beautiful as we go? – David Ignatow

Life and Complexity
Growing up, I’ve always known life and people as never ever being simple. Nothing is simple on this planet. Civilisations thrived on complexities and emergence from chaos because human beings are not single-celled amoebas with mere basic needs. Humans have wants, demands, commands, and moments of self-aggrandizement. Kinships and relationships have since the beginning of…

o92. photodiary (with gratitude)
Completed my last dance session with the KK Hospital Staff, and I think I’ll be seeing them again very soon! They’re such good role models for me although I’m there to guide them in dance- some of them aren’t at an age where you’d expect them to bounce along to hiphop or kpop songs. Nonetheless…

o89. Julius Caesar
At a rate of one Shakespeare play a week, my last semester as an undergraduate definitely isn’t easy (that’s just for one out of 6 modules I’m taking). Am owing it to Literature that I’m really enjoying this sem – am reading non-fiction for academic purposes and getting my As way more frequently than I…

o85. daddy’s birthday
Celebrated Daddy’s birthday in advance. Everyone’s schedules are so tight, we only get this one Sunday evening. Due to immigration issues when he came over from Taiwan, dad has 2 birthdays. How cool!! Overdosed on sugar and carbohydrates. Major food coma. Wish you didn’t have to grow old, dad. Stay…
