All about me

All about lesbian thoughs and what goes on in my life and head. Just for info; I'm part Dutch, part Singaporean and living a very confusing life. This is my 5th attempt at starting a blog.

I want Netflix to turn the comics into a animated TV series so I can have Rachel Amber as my icon 😌

I swear there were talks about a TV series at one point, so it wouldn't surprise me if that happened. Fingers crossed.

Taiwan first in Asia to accept same-sex marriage!!

Taiwan first in Asia to accept same-sex marriage!!

The moment we all have been waiting for has come. The first country in Asia to accept same-sex marriages is here!

And of course it is NOT Singapore! (not a surprise to anyone… right??)

The Taiwanese constitutional court declared earlier today (Wednesday May 24th) that same-sex couples have the rights to legally marry and should be given the same legal rights as heterosexual couples currently got,…

And a Happy New Year to you all.

And a Happy New Year to you all.

Didn’t expect this one the last first day of the year?!

I haven’t felt like blogging for a while. Not that I haven’t had anything to talk about, but my mind and brain just weren’t into writing anything in this “semi” public diary of mine.

In the new hear I hope that I will be able to sit down and write about Singapore’s oldest lesbian couple that I met back in November (or early December?), and…

Sick leave and leave of absence.

Sick leave and leave of absence.

Hi everyone!

I haven’t been even near the blog for months now and surprise, surprise, it seems like everyone else have when I took a look at the statistics for the blog yesterday.

In the last couple of months I have battled with a depression that began when I got a cancer misdiagnose, that later turned out not to be cancer (felt like I dodged a bullet there) but literally a tiny tip of a…

Someone wants to kill me because I (according to them) love the wrong person

Someone wants to kill me because I (according to them) love the wrong person

Yesterday were a horrible day to get through for me.

The day literally began when I took my brothers and sisters kids in to see probably the worst movie in the universe, The Angry Birds Movie.

Quite a lot could be said about that movie but when they across all ages either by facial expression or flat out said that they would have preferred a trip to McDonalds and the game to their tablets…

Anti LGBT Groups in #Singapore are at it again and Ministry of Home Affairs gave them a brotherly hug

Anti LGBT Groups in #Singapore are at it again and Ministry of Home Affairs gave them a brotherly hug

  I don’t know why, but I thought that this would be the year when the Singaporean Taliban (aka the we hate all things that looks gay and happy) would give in and accept that love is universal.

NO SUCH THING!!

The Wear White campaign and the joker aka Lawrence Khong made a tiny peep that hardly could be heard. The white shirts were relatively absent this year, and it actually took an effort to…

Done with this years teaching

Done with this years teaching

Yesterday (Tuesday last week) were my last day teaching aspiring journalism students for this time and it is soon time to return to Singapore.

I have come to realize that for a few weeks that I absolutely LOVE (with several exclamation marks afterwards) to teach. Not only could I for a brief moment call myself adjunct professor, but even some of my more radical members of my family on the…

Since I have bashing IKEA so much "lately"

Since I have bashing IKEA so much “lately”

So here is a video of a little light IKEA competition.

Who do you think will be the fastests to assemble IKEA furniture? Gays or Lesbians?

A little hint and a shameless self promotion. I would be able kick all of their behinds when it comes to competitions like this one. Besides, I also hate to lose so I would be obsessed with trying to win a competition similar to this one and would have no…

Wah She Is Alive!

Wah She Is Alive!

Yes I am alive! I have just been crazy busy and my muse aka S… went to pay homage to IKEA’s holy temple in Sweden, while I am now on my annual teaching gig.

Like in the previous 2 (or is it 3 now?) years, then I am back to talk, and sometimes teach, about Journalism in Asia and how to avoid getting arrested, or beat up, while operating in an Asian country to future journalists.

This year I am…

Guess what? Singapore did it again!! Dropped another spot on the World Press Freedom Index

Guess what? Singapore did it again!! Dropped another spot on the World Press Freedom Index

A few years ago Singapore surpassed even Russia on the world press freedom index, and is now closer than ever to countries like North Korea and China when it comes to freedom for the press.

As many of the readers of this blog might not know, then freedom for the press is usually only something that is mentioned as a joke in Singapore, or at least followed by several question marks. So yes,…

You really need to read this blog post by the Chiongs

You really need to read this blog post by the Chiongs

The Chiongs, whom I am a big fan of, continue to write some of the most amazing posts that have ever come out of Singapore. Their blog is, if anyone were to ask me, one the most important voices in South Asia at the moment.

So what makes the Chiongs so special to me? Well, the only they – or rather Liv/Olivia write about is their Singaporean twosome life as a same-sex couple with a young…

Her is coming to Singapore, and no. I am not talking about myself in 3rd person

Her is coming to Singapore, and no. I am not talking about myself in 3rd person

Her, the most important app in the lesbian universe from Dattch have finally discovered Singapore! Yes, it took them a while to locate our little Red Dot(yes, yes, it can be difficult to locate even with a map and a clear “how to reach” guide), but now they are here – eh almost.

A few days ago, Robyn Exton emailed me (and I am sure quite a lot of others as well) where she asked me if I could help…

Miriam is into women and is not allowed to engage in relationship conversations with her colleagues

Miriam is into women and is not allowed to engage in relationship conversations with her colleagues

Where is the line between innocent contact and sexual harassment in the workplace? Miriam found out the hard way when she were accused of sexual harassment at her place of work.

Miriam, 29, is a lesbian and last year, her sexuality suddenly became an issue at her workplace after she had touched a female colleagues hand and was suddenly accused of sexual harassment because of this incident.

Miriam…

A small error in the previous post

A small error in the previous post

I am not really sure what happened but the headline for a post that I have in my draft folder and the one that I posted yesterday crossed paths and ended up on several websites as the subject line or headline for the post instead of the one that I originally named the post to be.

So some of you who yesterday dropped by lured by the headline might have been gravely disappointed.

I am sorry about…

And A Happy New Year!!

“I want to read more about you and your family. Please write more.”

These were the most common words I got when someone who read my blog and emailed me in the past year, and yes… I admit that my troubles with some of my relatives is the perfect tool for dramas that are worth reading about.

But since this now infamous blog post, then I have partially been reluctant to write anything public about…

Merry Christmas everyone

Merry Christmas everyone!

I am sorry but I am not so PC that I am going to call it “happy holidays”, or the even more unsexy “Season Greetings”…

“Season Greeting”!? WTF.

No I not am sorry to the guy whom I offended on the street by saying “Merry Christmas” to him, when I (or he) bumped into me, who then felt offended that I said these unholy words – that he then felt the need to yell back at me…

Sexually confused man from the “We are against Pink Dot” group created a petition against Adam Lambert to get his attention

Yet again a Singaporean male who don’t know how to express his true feelings are lashing out because he don’t know how to express himself properly.

A long time active member of the “We are against Pink Dot” Facebook group, where he behind his computer previously have been very active in attacking the Pinkdot event and out gays in Singapore, created a petition against Adam Lambert, so he could get…
