My Garmin Forerunner 305 arrived today! For the uninitiated, the Garmin Forerunner 305's a GPS watch. No, it's purpose isn't (like my mom thinks it does) to let me know where I am and how to get to where I want to go; rather, it's a running companion that tells me where I've gone and...

A cluttered out leads to cluttered in; life's a swirl now of "what's next?" and "how come?" and "damnit get the f*** out of here!" and "leave me alone!"; but at the very same time it's got "ohmagawd this is great!" and a good "you serious?" and "wow." I sit at my desk plotting and... Continue Reading →
The results for the General Elections for Singapore are out, and living in the Aljunied area means that I'm now officially under the Worker's Party. I had guessed it'd be like that, sharing George Yeo's sentiment that this was a tide that they'd be unable to stop. Whether or not this result will turn out... Continue Reading →

But still there were many times I think we both felt that it felt like Perth all over again (four months of not seeing each other!) I still remember when she went... Continue Reading →
On my right, an open patch of grass with varying heights, with trees scattered randomly; leaves bustled as an impatient wind waltzed past. A beautiful pre-sunset sky provided the perfect backdrop. (Hot as it was outside, I was in air-conditioned goodness.) For a few seconds I lost myself. Perhaps this is what it's like to... Continue Reading →
These past few days I've been engrossed by Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. It's made me want to be a scientist, and a little of an activist and politician. Prior to that I was reading Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, a wonderful book given... Continue Reading →

The truth revealed Then hidden, Like a frightened kitten Peering beyond a wall. Not quite sure if 'twas Right or wrong, Perhaps silence was The better option. The word not spoken From birth till death, It touches nothing, And everything.
