I had a lovely lunch with Kel and Xiu today. I’ll skimp on the gastronomical details, but we ate at Stewhaus in Siglap before walking down two or so shophouses to the cheesecake cafe for dessert. Apparently, bus number 32 does not in fact turn left after Frankel Avenue towards Siglap - instead it turns [...]
I’ve had an awesome (self-aggrandizement is excellent, isn’t it?) post about literature in post-1911 revolution China brewing under the ‘drafts’ tag for quite some time already. Namely, two weeks. I was planning to put it up, spit-and-polished, sometime last within the past 7 days, for the enrichment of my non-existent readers, and for my future [...]
It’s somewhat depressing to remember that just approximately 6 months ago I was draped in a too-big but sinfully comfortable yukata after an indulgent half-hour at the hot baths, lying languorously on the bed in a Japanese hotel room and streaming music from my friends back in Singapore via Simplify Media while surfing the Internet [...]

It’s one thing when a pill you take makes you feel drowsy; it’s a whole new cathedral of bullshit when the pharmaceutical in question suddenly and potently induces lethargy just at the moment you resolve to start on work.
Why thank you very much, Fedac. Should I want to subject myself again to ‘disturbed coordination’ in [...]
I suppose it is telling just how enriching school life is when our clique’s fortnightly jaunt to the movies has degenerated into just one quick flick (Charlie Wilson’s War today - quite liked it), and then a hasty exchange of au revoirs after a brief post-movie conference that quite discourteously obstructs the escalator. These enervated [...]
