Summer Friday 2016 – No. 15
First of all… a small thank you to my employer for the annual “Summer Hours”. For the creative soul, half-day Fridays can go a long way. You break from the four corners of an office. While more than half of the half-day Fridays were actually a bit stressful due to a deluge of production, filming,…

Summer Friday 2016 – No. 14
It’s the penultimate summer Friday of 2016. What’s going on? The haze is back! Filmed for an upcoming show on one of our channels. Met up with my ex’s friends who are visiting Singapore.

There are only a…

Summer Friday 2016 – No. 6
A month has passed since I moved away from my ex. On most days the feeling of independence is empowering. I don’t have to worry about anything or anyone other than myself. But there are moments when I’m in a restaurant and I start reminiscing how it felt like to have him sitting opposite me. We wouldn’t…

Summer Friday 2016 – No. 4
There’s a temptation I can’t exactly put my finger on in Hong Kong. Is it the temptation of having a new city to explore? Or is it the excitement of having the chance to start anew? Hong Kong is both familiar and unfamiliar. Its streets and alleys are vibrant and mysterious. It feels safe with…
