What have I done to my hair !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today, 4 months and 28 days after I chopped off my hair, I am suddenly seized by a momentary panic attack. My hair was perfectly fine, perfectly luscious, perfectly beautiful, perfectly INNOCENT, so why did I have to throw it all away just for a short moment [...]

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 [...]

This cleverly-crafted ambition was born after weeks of watching a TVB police show, after days of thinking it over while I was on the throne doing my business, while I was trying to fall asleep, while teachers were talking in class.

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 [...]
