Song of the year (2021)
At the end of each year I think about which song I liked the most. The past two years were dominated by Korean pop music (SUNMI, Chungha, BTS). Chungha topped my Spotify lists in 2021 with songs like Bicycle, X, and Masquerade. I think it’s because I love listening to upbeat music to get my […]

Doing the KL Standard Chartered Marathon 10km Virtual Run from Singapore
Last weekend I took part in a 10km virtual run as part of Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon 2021. I haven’t been able to run much in recent months. Joining the virtual run helped push me to go outside and start running again. The original virtual route I planned was from East Coast Park to […]

Space.
Since I started paying for a future micro-apartment (that’s what I’m calling it now – I might change it again later), I’ve doubled down on watching home renovation videos. I’m particularly obsessed with these videos by ‘Never Too Small’ which features tiny living spaces that are maximised for use. I think most of them are […]

Cabin fever
Current situation: From this CNA article. While technically we’re not in a hard lockdown like the OG circuit breaker of 2020… the mood, at least for me, is somber. I don’t want to go to the malls. I don’t want to go out and do touristy things. I don’t even want to go to East […]

It’s mid October in Singapore
I haven’t had any updates in a month. I’ve had my hands tied with getting good work done + a hoard of other things as we head into the twilight of the year. I’ll do a sweep. Semi-lockdown. The local community cases in Singapore have reached record highs. Gone are the days we would hear […]

What did you plan to do today, but didn’t?
Fast answer: I wanted to edit a podcast episode. Two episodes are sitting in my edit folder right now. But I’m at peace that these have to wait until I can clear other tasks I need to get done right now. One thing I’ve learned recently is that we have to properly schedule our priorities […]

What fits you better: living in the countryside or in the city?
Fast answer: Living in the city Ideally, it could be living in the city on weekdays and living in the countryside on weekends. That’s entirely possible if you had a city dwelling in Metro Manila followed by a Bali-inspired tropical residence somewhere in Laguna. BTW, I love Presello! I can’t afford the houses on it […]

How important is money?
Fast answer: It’s very important. But it’s not everything. BTW, each time I get credited my salary, this song plays in my head: How about you? How important is money? (This question is part of a 30-day Q&A challenge using the “365 & me” app)

What was your last fight? With whom?
Fast answer: Fought the head of sales (while sparring in Krav Maga) Is my life boring if I haven’t really fought with anyone. This was a tough question to answer. I had to think long and hard. I was thinking about adding a YouTube video to Final Fantasy VII Remake. Then I remembered I did […]
