I’m currently at the Creative Arts Programme held in the National University of Singapore.
I’d say the stay-in camp has been quite interesting so far, but that adjective is probably inappropriate given the high level of literary skill I’m supposed to exude - not to mention (1) it’s ambiguous and (2) it sucks.
Well, let me start [...]
In the past two days I’ve been to two seperate sports finals to cheer the school teams on. Both we lost.
It is somewhat disheartening to suffer defeat despite all that hard work and toil… but I guess the achievement of being the second best in the division is nothing to scoff at, either. Especially so [...]
Extreme sleep deprivation (Gosh, look at the time!), along with misplaced enthusiasm for the start of the holidays-which-aren’t-really-holidays, infinite amounts of frustration that the holidays aren’t really holidays, a massive mental block as the result of the holiday mentality, and satiation - no, nausea - of homework make completing additional (last-minute) assignments impossibly difficult, indeed.

Mobile phones are such an integral part of Asian (well, East Asian) life that now, even love seems to be regularly transmitted through the airwaves. This fixation on romance via technology, which I find interesting to say the least, is manifested in the two songs showcased below. Both are personal favourites - well, I am [...]

It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, [...]

Where is it? Where’s the thump-thump?

I guess I was obligated to post. But there’s this one thing about me - I don’t really celebrate birthdays. Well, not my own, at least.
This is mostly due to exams always falling on the date itself. (I live a sad life, I know.) And, as these things usually go, my birthday is characterized by [...]
I got selected for the Creative Arts Programme (CAP). While I guess I should be happy at my achievement - never did I expect my sub-par collection of poems to impress - I’m somewhat worried about the prospect of missing my class overseas trip which just so happens to fall on the same dates.
I should [...]
