For we must all learn to howl.

Well, this is goodbye. I've thought about it for a long while, and decided that this blog has more or less run its course. It's been, what, nine years? This blog has been around since I was 14. But it's finally time to close this chapter and move on - we've all grown up, and in some ways we've also grown out of the things that we used to love when we were younger. This is no different. This blog has seen so many ups and downs, from crushes to exams to family and holidays and navigating the insanity that was school and teenage life. So the announcement - we're packing up and moving. I'm no longer the same girl who first started this little blog of mine, but it wouldn't be fair to delete this blog and all its posts either - there are way too many memories, both fond and embarrassing. This blog will stay as it is, and this will be the last post. Dear readers, if you've stuck with me till now, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and will be...

Fly away, dearest owl. Your brand of love would have me carve the heart right out of my own chest.  In some way you are mine, but in the same way you are iron and I am water.

Last week, I had the chance to attend the launch event for the Singapore Art Museum (SAM)'s latest art exhibition - my work involves writing about AV technology, and I'll explain how AV technology and a museum are related in a bit. The exhibition was titled Imaginarium: To the Ends of the Earth , and featured immersive, tactile and interactive artworks from nine contemporary artists. According to the museum, the exhibition aims to take a look at how humans, flora and fauna adapt to their habitats, and also hopes to introduce ideas and stories surrounding lands both real and imaginary. Museum curators posing with the nine artists during the launch. Honestly, I was only there to write about one particular piece of art (you'll see it later), but then I decided that since I was already there I might as well join the media tour and see the whole exhibition for myself - I'm glad I did because I thoroughly enjoyed myself, honestly. Unfortunately I didn't manage t...

It's been a while since I last wrote here, hasn't it? Quite a bit of time has already passed - the English New Year is way over, and we're a week into Chinese New Year (traditionally, Chinese New Year is supposed to last about 23 days).  I've been working at my new job since the start of the year, and I'm quite happy to report that (I think) I'm mostly settled in and working fine. I don't believe I've mentioned this, but I'm a writer for a trade magazine of sorts. It took a while for me to get used to the industry and the content, but I think I'm adapting okay and I do quite enjoy this job. My boss is really, my colleagues are awesome and they've really made me feel welcome to the team and the office. Panda and I are currently working things out in a long distance relationship.  It's... Not easy. It's really no secret that long distance isn't an easy hurdle for any relationship to have to overcome, and I'll ...
