I ramble…
If you ask me whether I’m more of a KonMari person or a hoarder, I’m probably more of the latter. Almost everything ‘sparks joy’ for me and as a result, I keep everything that has sentimental value. This includes digital items such as pictures from trips and essays. Last week, I briefly mentioned that my… Read More Computer Woes & Forced Digital Purges
Recently, I read this article about how our obsession with taking photos is changing our memory* and it got me thinking: What is the point of taking photos? It’s something that I’ve asked myself several times, mostly when I feel like my photo taking has gone overboard. While I’m not a selfie sort of person,… Read More The Photo Habit
We’re almost halfway through January and I thought it would be nice to see how the start of the year has been (it is very weird but if I don’t write things down, I can’t seem to properly take stock). So what I’ve realised is that I’m extremely thankful for Christmas and New Year, not… Read More Start of the Year Updates
Now that Christmas is over, we’ve got some time before 2019 begins. Instead of doing the usual book or tea reviews (or ramblings), I thought I’d spend the time looking back on the new year and maybe setting some goals for 2019. Before I start on the books and other media I’ve consumed through the… Read More Year End Mental Health/Life Update
Now that this is my main ‘online’ home, I feel like rambling about how things have gone now and then (looks like it’s about once a week for now). I have been so stressed with work recently, which is a source of guilt for me because I do enjoy my job and it feels weird… Read More Sunday Rambles: Thoughts on Work
I don’t normally do recap posts but I did want to talk about my weekend. It’s the first time that I had to do closing for our PS store and I had to do it for two days in a row (Friday and Saturday). So yeah, I was so nervous when I got to work… Read More Weekend Recap: Tea Party & Rest
I have always been one of those people that like to know what I’m feeling. If I can name it, then I know what’s going on and I can take steps to manage it. So for the past few weeks, not having the words to describe how I’m feeling is frustrating and more than a… Read More Naming My Emotions
…is selling away my kendo 竹刀 Oddly enough, it’s not giving up kendo, it’s selling the sword. I suppose that while I still had the sword, I could tell myself that I’d resume kendo again, in the Tomorrow. But without the sword, it’s pretty clear I won’t, even if I do have everything else. Isn’t… Read More One of my current regrets…
It’s been about a year since I moved back to Singapore. I say “about” because I remember it being early Nov but I don’t remember the exact date (I’m bad at dates; for example, I once got two out of three of my sibling’s birthdays wrong. And yes, they have not let me live that… Read More On Imposter Syndrome for Missing Japan
There are a few strings tying me to Japan. The strongest are my friends and my memories, but there are also, somewhat incongruously, games. One of them was Aerial Legends, a game created by the company that I used to work for. I remember when it first came out. The management was so excited and… Read More Goodbye to More Than a Game
