Who do you find hard to read?
No fast answer. Today’s “question of the day” (I use the 365 & me app) is difficult to answer. They always say it’s the quiet people who are hard to read. That might be true. You don’t know what they’re thinking about. *** To reframe the question, what do I find hard to read? Books. […]

Whose life would you like to live?
Boring answer: I’m fine with mine tbh (because I believe even those who seem to live perfect lives, have something going on that we don’t know about) Fun answer: Simu Liu We saw Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings at IMAX Jewel Changi Airport over the weekend. It’s one of those movies I’d […]

What adventures have you experienced?
Fast Answer: Backpacking in Laos, the country that stole my heart ❤ I can’t believe it’s been a full ten years since our adventures in Laos. I travelled to Laos with my then-partner and our two friends. To this date, that must’ve been “the trip of a lifetime” for me. Why? Because it was one […]

Do you think you will stay with your current job for a while?
Fast Answer: Yes I’ll stay with my current job if the mantra “always be learning” continues to apply. I’m in my mid-30s, hungry for experiences. Since there’s a pandemic, I feel fortunate to (1) have a job, and (2), have a job where the stress level is surprisingly manageable. The people I’ve met at the […]

If you didn’t know your age, how old would you think you are?
Fast Answer: 27 I’ve been slightly sensitive (okay, maybe like 10%) when conversations with new people I meet revolve around age. The most common reaction is “Woah, you don’t look 30-something!” – I don’t know how to react. It’s flattering they might think I’m in my 20s. I guess it’s a compliment. Not that there’s […]

Which event or milestone are you looking forward to?
Fast Answer: I’m looking forward to my tenth anniversary in Singapore in March 2022. The story I don’t know if it’s silly to be excited about these things. I think it’s a reminder of why I moved here in the first place. I wanted to scratch an itch. I wanted to see if there was […]

Authenticity, happiness, and the redefinition of “friends”
I’m nearing the end of my 11-day “mid year” holiday. This would typically center around my birthday and involve a vacation to the Philippines to visit family. But no. I’m in Singapore. I’ve spent the past 11 days doing a surprising number of things: a birthday staycation, a birthday gathering at home, getting another root […]

“What do you want for your birthday?”
So we’re clear: RECEIVING GIFTS is not my love language. 😉 Of the five so-called love languages, mine is QUALITY TIME. I’m NOT talking about being 24/7 up in my face. Ew. I’m referring to the intimacy or spark of something along the lines of five hot minutes together. Each minute, each second, EACH glance […]
