According to Superlatives,

I might be able to use the word “superfluous” correctly.
But I can’t spell tomorrow for nuts. I keep typing tomMorrow. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME ARGH!
GGGGRRRRRR.
And there is no GG this week. I’m so sadddd.

It doesn’t just go away

Certain smells remind me of her…clean towels, milk. When it hits, I’m winded by memories and then the guilt- was I too vigorous when I was burping her the night before? Maybe I was sapping the last bit of her strength, little by little as she mewed and gurgled. I can still feel her tiny [...]

To world enough, and time.

I randomly decided to update my Facebook profile and tried doing the “In a relationship with….___” thingy and WAH now I have to await confirmation that Timothy Goh is my boyfriend. HUHhhh!
whatever. MY crazy dog just ran down the stairs and practically slid across the floor in a clatter of toenails.
Oh I just finished [...]

To His Coy Mistress- Andrew Marvell

Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime
We would sit down and think which way
To walk and pass our long love’s day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges’ side
Shouldst rubies find: I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the Flood,
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the [...]

Heaven

My mom talked to me at quite some length about Heaven tonight. I’ve always wondered what it would be like, sometimes I don’t even think I want to trade Earth for Heaven but somehow I know it’s a place so wonderful I can’t even fathom it and truth be told, I don’t think I’m even [...]

Ulyana Lopatkina

I love her love her love her love her loveeeeeeeeeee
You get the idea.
*sigh*
She mesmerizes. I just kept murmuring over and over how beautiful/gorgeous/lovely/(insert superlative) she was between performances. Honestly…I don’t think you can ask any more of a ballerina- she is technically PERFECT (indeed completely mastered the artform in my opinion- no struggle/tremor to be [...]

New toilet reading!!!

Hahaha what an unglamourous pronouncement for so elegant a tome as Singapore’s very own L’Officiel. Yup, the Parisian fashion bible has finally come to our shores and by golly is she beautiful. I’d never even heard of the magazine (yes, so ignorant!) until yesterday when I was browsing at MPH to pass the time while [...]

Winds in the Void

I really love the hushed quiet that falls over a theatre audience just before the velvet curtains are drawn. The air is palpably tingling with excitement and anticipation, and from the other side of the curtains, nervousness and adrenaline. It makes me shiver just remembering. Went to watch “Cello Suites: Winds in the Void” by [...]

Lest I forget

Life came into mine a week ago and left me yesterday. I buried her under the pink frangipani that peers into my bedroom window and blanketed her tiny body with flowers. I’ve forgotten the number of times I told her I loved her as I tried to coax her tiny mouth into suckling the bottle, [...]

Lessons

Try not to laugh, but I’m pretty certain that taking care of Miss Kitty here has given me quite a taste of motherhood. I now know why mothers feel guilty when they are away from their babies (I felt sooo guilty in Prof Res class and so pissed with the deliberately abstruse tutor dude that [...]
