Before I left, I had in mind Copenhagen to be the key highlight of the trip. I really miss the place and can’t wait to visit again.
But somehow, after my four days in Prague, I feel like my vacation is already over.
Its strange.
By the way, Prague is still beautiful, if you want to know.
Other than [...]

I just died in your arms tonight;
It must have been something you said.
- Lyrics, I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight by Meatloaf
This song makes me laugh for the same reason Pop! Goes My Heart by Hugh Grant (for one of his endless romantic comedies) did.
Quintessential ’80s dramatics!
In other music related nonsense, I [...]

Democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.

This couple of months I’d been away so much that I may even be getting a little homesick at times.
Which is incredible because I never get homesick.
I’d always feel kind of guilty about that I mean, we’re supposed to get homesick. You know?

[On Dimples and Botox]
Me: When we first started going out, I loved your dimple. Now, somehow, I hardly notice it anymore. Why is that?
Boyfriend: Oh. It must be the Botox.
I’m so glad we have more of such conversations now.

I’m quite obsessed with churning out more polaroids.
Here are some of my favourite photos, taken over the [...]
Packing & Fake Polaroids

I have two trips to pack for in as many weeks.
Really hate packing. Its the worst part of going on a trip.
Oh, wait. I think the unpacking is a strong contender.

I’d been meaning to write about Poladroid for the longest time, but just sat on it.
I finally got around to downloading it. Currently, it is [...]
Real Freedom

I will like some real freedom, thank you.
My dad has been nagging me about my upcoming trip. It is starting to get on my nerves, because frankly, I feel that I really shouldn’t be the one he’s coming down on in this household.
Its like there’s a pink elephant in the room, but everyone’s talking about [...]
Comfort Spaces
Posted in A Girl Named Bliss on November 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
After some time in a relationship, time spend together takes on a quality of infinite comfort at times.
We just exist, in close proximity to each other, doing random personal things. Only there is no sense of detachment or awkwardness.
Sharing of spaces, depending on the circumstances, can be one of the most intimate experiences one can [...]
A Quarter Drunk

I’m a quarter drunk.
More or lesss.
I discovered something about myself.
I hate it when people pour beer wrongly. Tilt the fucking glass. That’s all there is to it.
I don’t know why it is so hard.

S: You give good advice when you’re a quarter drunk. You should stay quarter drunk.

We’re all so many persons in one.

[On Singaporean Spontaneity]
Me: Actually this trip is quite spontaneous. It wasn’t in my plans.
T: As far as I know, you’d planned it for half a year at least! How can it be spontaneous?
Me: HAHA. Okay, its spontaneous for Singaporeans alright? We’re crazy control freaks and [...]
Too Hot, Too Cold, Never Quite Right
Posted in Complete Frivolity on November 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It seems like it is almost always either too warm or too cold on our little red dot.
Walking to the train station each day, I curse the humidity which feels so close, making me perspire (even if only slightly) by the time I manage to escape underground.
Then in the office, its freezing!
The rains are so [...]
