“Sorry I’m late, I got stuck at the onion festival and there was no public transport”

Bern has such wonderfully weird holidays! 😂

I booked a holiday from Christmas till January 8th so I can start the new year fully embodying the attitude of Larry David, and therefore, starting off strong.

Singapore: No foreign interference, no foreign flags.

Also Singapore: Let’s wave our former colonialists’ flags high bc Prince Will in town.

The ol’ “Colonial Conundrum”, as I call it.

Singapore is the only country in the world that would cheer on their former colonizers. I swear.

Fall means two things to me - my favourite season, and mushroom collecting (which arguably feeds into the first thing).

What a beautiful bounty it was this year too! 😍🍂🍁🍄

This feels like The Good Place.

We shall see in due time whether it pans out like the show. But right now, I’m just happy to be here. 😊

I'm caught in a literary love triangle: my academic paper's pile of readings on one side, and two fat books I recently bought (one fiction, one non-fiction), both vying for my undivided attention.

Whether I'm flipping through research or lost in my books, guilt is always the bookmark.
