endure August 31, 2008

over the past few years, i think i’ve announced several times that the coming week would be the worst one of my life. or that this would be the last time i would see pulau tekong. and i’m proven wrong time and again until i realise that life will never get easier. no one ever [...]

hold on tight August 11, 2008

i feel trapped.

i don’t want to be a recruit again.

decadence is freedom with a smile August 4, 2008

i’ve been reading like a bunny lately.
