home
hello, it’s been a while. for me, at least.
i’m home. it’s so good, good, good to be home again. i have to stop my mind from fast-forwarding to the inevitable end of the holidays – back to where laughing boisterously makes you feel like a public nuisance, where there are no tropical breezes to take [...]

flower, blow, snow
sakura season. harbinger of spring; of a time of departures and meetings, farewells and hellos, old things and new, in japan. there is something hauntingly beautiful about these flowers. perhaps it is in their transient beauty. or simply the ghostly white-and-pinkness that speak of things both happy and sad.
unlike most people who rush to see [...]

sunset at home
these sensations of homesickness are so surreal i cannot help but submit to them. is it age, hormones, or something else altogether?
the impossibility of bringing everything i have with me has finally sunk in; bit by painful bit, i remove pieces of myself from the trunk and put them back in the closet. it is [...]

tokyo
i did not do all that i set out to do in tokyo. what i did, i shouldn’t have, but i have no regrets anyhow, so we shall leave it at that.
i grimaced at the 31 degree heat when we first hit the airport, but now, sitting at my desk, my trusty old fan spinning [...]

it storms. i think.
i was woken up at half-past three in the morning by the gentle whooshing of rain outside. i left my windows wide open, snuggling into the blankets as the wind swung the curtains this way and that.

not all roads lead to rome
some lead right back to where you started.
i was wandering around the financial district today and getting rather hopelessly lost, as always. that was when this post happened.
you know the movie sliding doors? i think about that sometimes. where i might have ended up if i hadn’t done a certain something in life. let’s say [...]

when at loose ends…
…blog.
this is turning out into an entire series of entries on when to blog.
it’s a very strange feeling to know that i have no work for the next four days, at least. nothing. absolutely nothing. it’s a situation i have been actively trying to avoid for months… years…? but not this week, at least. it [...]

a (long) walk in the park
woke up early to meet a sunday morning submission deadline (don’t even ask) and decided to go for an early morning walk.
people wonder why i love mornings. this is why.
singapore really enjoys a milder climate than most people would believe; mornings and nights are generally a nice, cool, and oftentimes breezy affair. we have a vast [...]
