I tried ignoring her, pushing her away. Pretended not to care, thought I might Stop liking her as much as I did. But like a yo-yo she always returned. One time I pushed her away too fast, Too hard, and she snapped back And nearly took my fingers off. Upon friends' advice, I decided to... Continue Reading →
Ice
They both sat in awkward silence at the café. It had been ages since they'd last seen each other, and it was only through a compulsive e-mail he had penned that the both of them were there. She had been reluctant, but he persuaded her, telling her that even if the meeting was awkward, as... Continue Reading →
The Guru
The self-help guru walked up to me and asked, “what would you do if you could do anything, anything at all, and knew you couldn’t fail?” I looked at him, thought for a bit, and shrugged. “How can you not know?” he asked. “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” My face...

I'm still more or less acclimatising myself to the people (including my family, and my cat, who almost couldn't remember me), as well as to the terribly hot and humid weather. Went for a run this morning, and realised just how much I... Continue Reading →
On Exams and Love
I've got one more paper tomorrow, and I'll be flying back to Singapore after that (on Saturday). The studying mood's gone, but yes, I know, that's a poor excuse for not studying, so I'll be studying still. Many of the Currie Hall people have left already, either flying back to their home country or returning... Continue Reading →
