#Monthday - It's May, it's May!
#Monthday – It’s May, it’s May!
I went for a talk by Marissa Louie, founder at BearBear Inc., and she spoke about amalgamating Design, Art and Engineering. Apart from the beautiful hand-painted slideshow that would completely captivate you and make your day, she also talked about how every experience that you pursue and indulge in (no matter how small like changing your hairstyle and whether you succeed or not like the three…

Stress and getting through that
Stress and getting through that
“If you’ve brave enough to start, you’re strong enough to finish.”
I find myself ambitious or at least constantly thinking about wanting to be more in life. My biggest childhood nightmare would probably be mounting up to nothing but a thunder of dust that claps irritably when I die. (Drama mama!) And a lot of times I let stress get to me too easily. It’s inconceivable and I lose all logic while…

Bruges in Hero4 Wide-Lens
Bruges in Hero4 Wide-Lens
Last birthday, my uncle graciously got me a GoPro Hero4 and it was made documenting my travels a gazillion times better. It literally fits into my palm, shots videos in high definition (1080p “life-like quality”) and 12mp pictures. If you’re maneuvering the crowded Europe streets, paranoid about pickpockets slitting your bag and hiking with mud digging into your fingernails, you won’t want to be…

November's Best
November’s Best
ONE The hiking trips that I’ve done this month. To Muir Woods, Lassen Volcanic National Park and Joshua Tree National Park. Adding my $130 Timberland boots investment, which happens to be very sturdy and very beautiful, feels appropriate here.
TWOBought my new baby – the Nikon D5200, the manual functions are so much to take in but it makes its owner feel powerful. I really can’t wait to…

LA Getty Centre
It’s an educational centre devoted to preserving the critical conversation about the world’s artistic legacy. Playing host to such beautiful and historical artefacts, including sculptures and film photography, The Getty Centre is the best place to just immerse yourself in.
Noting though that although it’s free entrance, parking is USD15. We get to take a tram (or walk upwards) for about 5 minutes…

Sunrise Hike
Was half dead when I mechanically peeled myself out of bed at 6am and climbed up the small hill at the back of i-house (international house). All the while, I was vehemently praying that my Adidas shoes scraping the mud and gravel would not give way.
The start of the path was eerily dark (this country’s resolve against street lamps takes getting use to) and cricket quiet, but directions are…

Freezing at Lassen Volcanic National Park
Freezing at Lassen Volcanic National Park
Driving up to Lassen Volcanic Park had the makings of all the nasty things about road trips – motion sickness, getting lost, boredom, etc.
But we learn from every mistake right? For one, having a music playlist that you can sing along to is very important for long drives. Despite all the missteps along the way, the day trip was made so much better with the view.
The gravels crunching at your…

Life in Alcatraz Prison
Life in Alcatraz Prison
First, paying for the Alcatraz Night Tour is worth every penny. In fact, considering the amount spent on maintaining the park, it feels barely enough.
Second, wear comfortable shoes *pats my trusty ASICS shoes* – for walking up hills and manoeuvring through narrow corridors.
The architecture has seagulls circling its top and a soft, orange glow peeking from far out at the horizon. At the place…

Top 3 in October
Top 3 in October
1. My favourite 17 year old here celebrated her birthday. Can’t thank you enough for being my pleasantly unexpected source of support and inspiration. And just to add, tolerating my 100 percent inaccuracy.
Apart from that delicious cheesecake, we had nostalgic Singaporean food. (Kind of, since “Otah” is “Otak-Otak” and the dish above is called “Mie Tek Tek”)
2. Cycling from Fisherman’s…

BerkeleyEST of September
1. Snapshots from I-House retreat to Point Reyers; kind of loving the contrast between dry, withering grass patches and blue water. Running in the knee-deep, icy waters was fun until the chills stab you and you’re stuck with mud between your toes.
2. Scaling Mount Tamalpalis and watching the sun get swallowed by the horizons probably now counts as the epitome of ‘doing nothing.’
3. Did I…

If property prices rise, who suffers the greatest burden? Why would the people reject public health insurance? What does it mean to be able to be well and to retire well? Are multinational companies bringing growth opportunities to developing countries, or just labour jobs? Is democracy inherently good and merely faulted in its execution?
Every time I walk into my “Reproduction in Modern…

Regretting my life decisions
Regretting my life decisions
Guess whose binge-watching habits are back? Yours truly.
I make the worst decisions, such as watching 10 episodes of Supernatural back to back and cramming for gym classes during my 1-hour break. As a girl who has been brought up not to wear short shorts and venture out too late, I should probably add returning back from Karaoke at 1.30am and driving to Oakland for dinner to my list of terrible…

Biking the Golden Gate Bridge and other tourist traps
Biking the Golden Gate Bridge and other tourist traps
It’s pretty surreal knowing that I’ve been here for 1.5 months.
And what’s crazier is internalising the fact that I’d be here for another 10 months.
What I feel is a psychedelia of undifferentiated emotions; they make my head actually dizzy from thinking about all the possibilities and my stomach kind of upset from the anticipation.
While it’s discomforting, I knowfor sure that I want to look…

I AM ALIVE - Top 3 tips for long flights
I AM ALIVE – Top 3 tips for long flights
Having been here for almost two weeks and AM STILL ALIVE, it’s safe to come up with my top 3 to-prepare for a long haul trip.
#1: Get a sling bag/ pouch to store your passport, visa, ticket, money and credit cards.
You need them before boarding, during transit and for luggage collection all the time so it’s definitely a good idea to have them accessible. (Being the queue hogger is stressful.)…

I hope I survive
I hope I survive
The amount of Google searches, admin follow ups and things that I don’t yet know that I don’t know scares me. It makes me genuinely question my ability to survive beyond the borders of Singapore (might just hit something and die along the way).
It feels like the first steps to growing up.
Getting things in order, and really knowing my stuffs.
When I’ve successfully gotten myself the visa…

Fleeting http://wp.me/s3dltb-fleeting
I always talk about my life being an accumulation of numerous fleeting moments.
And if you know what fleeting means, it should make you very disheartened and terrified to understand that every single moment would never find its way back to you. Tonight, just more so than ever, I find how right I am and how depressing it can feel.

1. HIGH-FIVE SHEREEN, who has managed to clock greater mileage this month! And it’s really kudos to my lovely friends from the Running Department. ;)
2. Had the cutest birthday celebration. Granted, I do not know the kids but it was a great chance to reconnect with my primary school tutor, who taught me to read, draw math models and sit still. She has in every sense watched me grow up.
