Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.

Hello

It’s now 2019 and I’ve just popped back on Tumblr for the memories. It has been nearly 2.5 years since I came back, and 3 since I started working. It feels longer though, and the posts from 2014 (5 years ago??) read so...young.

I’m tired. Work is a pain thanks to all the complicated procedures with visas and just so damn much going on all the time without someone else on my Asia team. Some in London are helping, and the intern is definitely a huge help, but it’s different from having someone working in the same time zone with me. I don’t want to complain too, because I know my team in London is helping, and all our situations suck. There’s just no point to whining. #notmystyle

Meeting up with Sof tonight for dinner was good though. It reminded me that I should really work on taking time out for myself, and for the people around me. Can’t believe she is getting married so soon, but I am happy for her. She deserves her happiness.

Right I need to head to bed for an early start tomorrow. Sigh. At least it’s one more day to the weekend!

“Maybe I was destined to forever fall in love with people I couldn’t have. Maybe there’s a whole assortment of impossible people waiting for me to find them. Waiting to make me feel the same impossibility over and over again.”

103 year old Ruline Steininger casts a vote for Hillary Clinton in Iowa, as early voting began in the state.

She was born in 1913 when women were banned from voting, and born even before the First World War began.

She has voted in every election since 1936, when she first cast her vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and earlier this year has sent a letter to Hillary saying:

“In my first century of life, I’ve seen many incredible things” “A pandemic, two worldwide depressions, a cure for polio, the first Catholic president, a man on the moon, the end of smallpox, an attack on American soil, and a black president. In my second century, I look forward to seeing a woman president.”

Kind of really sobering when you really think about the fact that there are people in this country who are alive at this moment and lived at a time when universal suffrage hadn’t existed yet. (X)

One day more

Leaving London tomorrow and even though I have been counting the days till I return back to Singapore, this goodbye feels too soon. Walking through Regent’s Park today with the sun blazing overhead but the air still crisp and cold was breathtakingly sad and maybe even reflective of how I feel. Ready to move on to a new phase of life, excited even to get to know and fall in love with Singapore again, but also very cold to the idea of leaving the home I grew up in. Certainly, I lived my first 19 years in Singapore and went from being a kid to well, a bigger kid who thought I was a little bit mature. But London was where I actually ventured out on my own, lived independently, sorted out my baggage, navigated my way in a huge and foreign city, grew my network, discovered what I like, loathe and love about myself, other people and the systems we live in. I was protected in Singapore, by my family, by my school, by the people who still treated me as a girl. I wasn’t in London. 3 years on I return to what is supposed to be ‘home’ feeling quite different, like I’m no longer and can no longer be just a girl. I realised I had changed after staying in London last summer in 2015, and now that I’ve stayed another summer the differences I feel are even more apparent. 22 hours to go. One day more.

Do you love me enough that I may be weak with you? Everyone loves strength, but do you love me for my weakness? That is the real test.

Posting photos from last March’s trip to Singapore. Ahhhh. Please take me back. If there’s one thing that I loved about Singapore it would be their architecture. Everything has a meaning and reason on why it’s there or built that way.

U can really tell who’s been on tumblr more than four years because we all give up on networks and promos and our blogs become bizarre collections of obscure art and documentation of bad life choices

Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark. That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go

I want you to remember who you are, despite the bad things that are happening to you. Because those bad things aren’t you. They are just things that happen to you. You need to accept that who you are and the things that happen to you, are not one and the same.
