I’m too busy to blog so here’s a video blog for you! It’s kinda dark and I talked wayyy too much but just watch it anyway lah if you wanna see how I look like in my short hair. Youtube cut me off at the end so you can’t hear me saying bye wtf My [...]

Have you ever felt this before- It’s a great day and you just had the most amazing sleep ever. You wake up after a fulfilling ten-hour sleep, languidly reach for your phone to see what time it is, get up to go wash your face, slab on some moisturizer, turn on your computer, sit on [...]

So I’ve completely forgotten that I have a blog and I have an unwritten obligation and duty to churn out random stuff here. How have I been the past few days: Miserable Two days ago, I was struck with the worst insomnia I’ve ever had in a long long time. I went to bed at [...]

I’m in the library now with hot milk tea by my side, ‘revising’ for my final exam tomorrow. The milk tea is making my stomach churn as usual, my head is buzzing with mixed up thoughts of total factor productivity and labor migration and saying goodbyes and going home. I’m feeling a little blue. I’m [...]

In the midst of struggling to write my paper, I thought of the sun and how majestic it is. It was just one of those random sun-popping-into-your-mind moments I’m sure everyone has experienced before. The prevalence of malingered PTSD has increased in the recent –image of the sun pops up– years and this calls for [...]
