I have come to a disturbing realization: that you can do almost anything you want, provided you are discreet about it. Sexually promiscous? No problem, just don’t tell anyone. Closet murderer? Take a cue from the Ripper and don’t get caught. Having an affair? Shower off her perfume before leaving her place. Secret smoker? Chew [...]

If I sat very very still and concentrated very very hard do you think it would be possible for me to figure out my entire life from my computer table and swivelly chair?
This is how the entire course of a life can be changed — by doing nothing. On Chesil Beach he could have called [...]

A bad weather Monday without any classes saw me blog-hopping aimlessly and I stumbled upon a random blog. It was about the writer beginning a new semester and being excited about classes and stuff and suddenly it hit me: I will never log-in to Alloc8 ever again.
I will never re-enrol for a new year’s worth [...]

Dear Blog,
I am sorry, there will be no emokid posts today, no funny anecdotes, no random music videos and no self-obsessed lists. There’s a buzzing in my head and an aching in my bones and someone has cracked my skull open and poured in a pound of concrete where my brain used to be. Hello, [...]

Because Peng tagged me. 15 things about me. (as if my blog isn’t self-absorbed enough)
1. Sometimes I turn on the tv because the apartment is so quiet I think I’ve gone deaf.
2. If I drink green tea at night I get insomnia
3. I love watching movies set in San Francisco. I have no idea why, [...]
time will come. for the rest, no one compares.

Tonight I bearded the lion in his den only to find out that he no longer has claws or teeth. But it still haunts me.
Looking at my bookshelves, it struck me as strange that I don’t own a copy of Ian Mcewan’s On Chesil Beach. It’s one of my favourite books but for some reason [...]

The fact that I spent the last half hour filing my posts from the last few months into categories is proof that I will do anything to avoid writing my metaphysics paper. I just don’t find it fun. Which may sound petulant but every single philosophy subject I’ve taken so far has been challenging and [...]

There’s something to be said about waking up early and drawing the blinds and finding that it is a beautiful day. That the sunlight cascades over everything in a way which you’d forgotten and the sky is that special tiffany-blue and yes, some clouds really do come in animal shapes. The morning is for hope [...]
