Him Over Me

I've heard newly single people say that once they get out of a relationship and back into a single life, it is always hard to start dating again. Rules of the game inevitably change as people get older, dating skills get rusty without practice. I understand what those people mean now. Having gone...

2.5

It's been 2.5 years since I've been single. 2.5 years of being in love and knowing that the person you were with was the one. Until he no longer was. The break up hasn't even sunk in yet... it's been mere hours since he uttered those words. Said that he saw our lives as being very different. We were heading in two different directions, so he said. We were never exactly alike. He was younger and...

This Time Next Year

Ugh, it's almost time to fly home again and I still don't feel my absolute best. Ever since I arrived back home, my strange and possibly heart-related condition only worsened.

Post-Hangover Musings on Life and Love

As the heat rises from the copper roofs of the shophouses around my balcony where I am sitting, nestled in an Ikea chair with my laptop on my knees, I sit and wonder about what happened to my motivation to blog. It's sort of non-existent at this moment, trumped by the demands and expectations of the real world, by the more pressing urgency to do anything else but update my blog. A rare glimpse of...

The Pleasures of Not Being Single...

  It feels long overdue, and it definitely is... but sometimes words can't come out right, or come out at all. And instead of forcing myself to write, I chose to not write at all for a while. Perhaps it's time to come back for a bit. By this point, I must have said "I love you" to the 21 Year...
