While I was scrolling through Instagram, I chanced upon a picture from Laracasey which got me thinking. Hmmm. What is my word for 2016? So I discussed it with my friends, who chose their own beautiful words: So what’s mine? Before I got there, I multitasked, as one does, and somehow ended up reading Jillian’s blog […]
The Meaning of Being Lonely
Spotted on Humans of Singapore: What the uncle said gave me something to think about. I’m alone but not lonely. But I must say, it’s been a long time already, so I don’t know the difference anymore. Do you? Some time ago I read a Sherlock fan fiction. Someone had asked Sherlock if he […]

7 Reasons Why I Kissed Online Dating Goodbye
Unlike some people I personally know, I don’t frown upon online dating as a way to meet significant others. Also, I think people who do are way too judgmental. Hello! Welcome to modern times! Most single friends I know have dabbled in it. I have a couple of cousins who met husbands this way, so I […]
We Can Time Travel Through Songs
In her book Yes Please, the hilarious genius Amy Poehler said: “I believe you can time-travel three different ways: with people, places, and things.” I’d like to add one more item to that list: songs. Hearing certain songs transports us back to the time and memories associated with them.
Where’s Your Sense of Adventure?

I cringed when something hit David at the back of his head in the New York subway. Just as I was about to find out if he was okay, I got distracted when the jam-packed train started emptying of its passengers. Just like David, in a split second, I jumped from the New York subway […]
Keep Looking, Don’t Settle
Last week I found out that one of my former teammates had resigned. So I chatted to him about it, jokingly asking if he was leaving because of specific funds which are notorious for being difficult, naming them one after the other. “It’s not due to any particular fund,” he explained. “I just feel that […]
The Importance of Friends
I am referring to friends the common noun and not Friends the proper noun, but I would like to start this post about the latter, which is Friends my favourite sitcom of all time. Sometime ago, I read an article about how Friends was originally pitched to NBC. “It’s about sex, love, relationships, careers, a […]
Of Love, Loss, and Iphones
Recently I was talking to a friend of mine about a boy. Isn’t it almost always about a boy? Or should I say, at our age, about a man? “I’m hoping that I’ll be okay by his wedding,” she sighed, as I imagined Adele crooning “Never mind I’ll find someone like you” in the background. […]
