I had an idea today. People think that being freegan is all about getting free stuff. The truth is, I don’t know of any freegan in Singapore that lives completely independently of money. We all still spend some money somehow, because there are certain things we choose to spend money on so that we canContinue reading “Money management”

I have an ex-client turned friend turned family. Our relationship is interesting because he was introduced to me as a referral from a mutual friend. He later engaged me for financial planning (my previous career), after which I got to know him better. I’d introduced him to a few ladies because he was looking toContinue reading “Weird”

I went to AMK today. I used to stay in this town, and walking down AMK Hub and Central triggers memories. For that reason, I’ve avoided coming here as best as I could, fearing what memories and tears this place could bring. But today, before I could help myself, a smile was triggered. I thinkContinue reading “Ang Mo Kio memories”

I nearly had a panic attack today. They seem to be triggered by a reminder or memory of a past traumatic experience. I read in Dr Edith Eva Eger’s book “The Choice: Embrace The Possible” that years and decades after she has healed from her experiences as an Auschwitz survivor, she still has panic attacksContinue reading “Panic attack”

I’m taking on too much too quickly. I’ve been on a break of sorts of late, dealing with the onset of my depression. I decided to cut off all my activities to recuperate. After feeling left out, I immersed myself too quickly back into activity. I need to step back and mark out my boundariesContinue reading “Taking on too much”

I did a Facebook purge recently. I do this every 1-2 years. You know how it is, you add people as friends on Facebook after having met them once or twice. But you don’t really stay friends, you don’t really keep in touch, and after a while, you forget how this person looks like, howContinue reading “Purge”

I’ve been working on revamping this website. I needed some inspiration on how to do it, and I decided to take a leaf out of Rob Greenfield’s website. I went over to take a look at it and decided that I had enough material made about me to do the same as he does. ThisContinue reading “Website revamp”

I’ve been thinking long and hard about whether I should make this blog private. Usually we don’t like to show others our weak side, our dark sides. We prefer, especially in this social media world we live in now, to show only our good sides, only that which flatter us. It boosts our ego. ItContinue reading “Keep it real”

One of the problems I face is identifying myself with a cause, a passion, a job. When I worked as a church writer and found that because of my depression I could no longer write, I faced a loss of identity. Because if I was not a writer, then who was I? After that, IContinue reading “Who am I?”
