I'm An Alien In Singapore

I forgot how crazy the festivities get around this part of the world. Normally I get in just in time to join in to toss the yu sheng or dip my chopsticks into the bubbling pot of steamboat goodness.

5 years shouldn't feel so long but for me it's a fifth of my life at present and boy have I lost touch of reality. I was bolstered in my warped bubble so much so that I no longer feel like I belong. Not one spot on this earth can I fully identify with.

Is there a word for that?

Josh says that's wanderlust but I'm not seeking adventure. I am quite happy feeling displaced.

it's easy to be attracted to Lee Pace; his remarkable bone structure and appealing smile.
but i think what tears at me the most is his quiet vulnerability through Calpernia Addams. i can't decide if i like him more as a transgender or as a regular bloke.
probably the former.
he is simply mesmerizing.
wish i had learnt of this film earlier.

Soldier's Girl.
Magnifique.

reverence


today i reassess my priorities.
today i question my purpose.
today a sightless man taught me to type.

there's no going back now.

oh no i massacred my mam's Tefal non-stick pot.
the immersion blender was a bad idea.

All in the name of homemade salty caramel souffle roll.

Dear Adrian Pang,

There is a good explanation for me falling asleep(admittedly snoring slightly)the other night at your play. I wouldn't want you to think Dealer's Choice was anything short of engaging.
My friends swear that they could see your nose hair from our vantage point at the 2nd row thus concluding that you'd probably glimpsed my limp body and lolling head.
I had had a rough day battling the rain and cunning people trying to steal my cabs.
I was exhausted.
Please excuse my bad behaviour.

Sincerely,
Yasmin
