Keep dreaming, it's the only way to go

1. Eat home-cooked meals as much as I can. Eating out/ ordering delivery is the norm in Singapore.  But I'm not your typical Singaporean Wahahahaha. 2. Do not be lazy. Take public transport or carpool if possible. Don't hire a maid. Clean my own house. I love how these  rich people  take public transport. Do they bring along body guards? 3. Do not live in excess. Donate money to charities and causes I believe in.  With great wealth comes great responsibility. Read what  Jeff Bezos , the richest man in the world does for charity. I'm not sure if he is just doing this because of public pressure though. It just sounds like he doesn't really have a cause that he truly believes in. As much as people think they deserve to live in excess due to their hard work, I think it's unnecessary and I hope I never get myself in the plight where I have a huge mansion and a swimming pool on the balcony. I just want to have the ability to earn the money and redistribute ...

In my previous post I talked about watching a US TV series called Mr Robot. Apparently it inspired me to pick up a little programming. But I also wanted to write about how intriguing it is. I was drawn to it because I watched Bohemian Rhapsody and I was quite impressed by Rami Malek's acting so I dug around the Internet webs for Mr Robot which Malek starred in as well. Ratings were great, Malek won an Emmy for his role in Mr Robot, I like psychological thrillers so I thought why not. It's quite difficult to find online even with a VPN, and if you want to do it legally you'd have to pay to watch. Obviously I'm not going to tell you what I did, but if you do find it for free then I applaud you for bearing with the advertisements and pop-ups HAHA. The whole series is 4 seasons long and the last season is only going to be aired next year so if you don't like pausing halfway then I suggest you wait till everything is out. First season was great because it satisfied m...

Whenever I start a new job, I always get this question from my colleagues: What do you do in your spare time? And I almost always answer "I watch YouTube videos." I'm not really thaaaat boring, just that I get kinda embarrassed when I tell them what I really do. If I told them I blogged then they might start asking my blog address. No I don't really like that people I know read my blog. I'd rather strangers do that. Is that odd? But that's just me. Anyway because I keep getting asked since I did two odd jobs during my holidays and I have multiple colleagues, I got inspired to make a list of the things I really do in my spare time. It's in the form of general headings and specifics in the description so people who read this may find it useful if they are bored and don't know what to do. 1) Learn something new This really depends on your interests and situation. My partner is Hindu so I'm trying to learn Hindi. I use the app called Duolingo, but...

So I did this 4-day claw machine job and thought how funny life is. We, the employees who placed lucky draw prizes in the claw machine, literally had total control over the customers' luck. Not that we care who gets it, but if friends came, we totally could have helped them get the prize they wanted. But of course that's expected. People do that all the time. I actually thought about how similar it is to life. On the first day we placed so many good prizes in the machine. The odds of getting a good prize was more than 50 percent. But at dinner time Management decided we had given out too many good prizes so we had to stop the machines just to take out all the remaining ones. (It was such a hassle lol.) There was literally 0% chance of winning. Yet people were still quite happy when they got a cash voucher, even though it meant they'd have to spend more money. And that's like life, when people in power can change your fate without you even realising it. But maybe i...

So what did you think of Anna's coming out video? Did it make you question your sexuality in any way? I think it's healthy to question things once in awhile. I questioned, because my guy-girl relationships never levelled up. I questioned, because after JC I didn't have crushes/eye-candies anymore. I questioned, because even when I went out with someone I liked, I realised we couldn't really clique. The sparks died out. Maybe I was a panda stuck in a human body? It was probably in the second or third year of Uni when I found out about pansexualism. Most people don't know what pansexualism means. "Pan" means "all", so basically it means regardless of gender you have the capability to love anyone. I felt like I could relate to pansexuals. I wasn't into people just because of their appearance or curiosity of their genitalia. I was into talent. I was into confidence. I was into generosity. You will find many more things you never realised y...

Gender. I've actually repeatedly thought about this topic for several years. Not because I'm confused about my own gender. Not because it's a huge issue in my life. But because it's a concept that intrigues me. Like a song that you like for no reason. It's just a song that you like. It somehow matches your frequency. It suits your personality. There are just things that happen for reasons that aren't so scientific. Well I guess you could analyse things like these, but from the personal point of view, there is no motive. Let's start from the very beginning. When I was 17 or 18, a classmate asked me, "Do you think gender is a social construct or inborn?" At that time, my mind worked in very straightforward, rigid ways. By that time I think I had read a Nature article on homosexuality and chromosomes. Apparently they found differences in the chromosomes of homosexuals and heterosexuals. Of course gay people were born gay and straight people were bor...

Everytime my significant other comes to visit me, I start thinking of all the junk food that I want to indulge in with him muahahaha. I usually eat at home, so eating out is more for special occasions. All thanks to cqveggiefinds (if u're looking to eat vegan in Singapore, go check out her insta and fb), I found out that I can get vegan donuts at Dunkin Donuts! I had a hard time Googling this info so I decided to just record the vegan flavours in my blog. Many thanks to cqveggiefinds for getting this info- I got them from her facebook page. Vegan Dunkin Donuts: Glazed Sugar raised Bavarian Strawberry filled Choc Pudding Cinnamon Roll You have to check out how they look in Dunkin Donuts' website, so tempting omg. I've put the link down below. You have to click on the 'shell donuts' tab as well to see some of the vegan flavours. It's quite amazing that the Bavarian and Choc Pudding flavours are vegan. Definitely wanna try those since I love cream-filled ...
