These are my shorter pieces on individual topics. Most are inspired by incidences I’ve encountered in everyday life. None are non-fiction in nature, strictly speaking, as all of these essays would be written in a storytelling style. Also, (highly) tempting as it is, I intend not to touch any social political issues, particularly those involving my country of residence. Not that I’m apolitical or dissociated. Just that, I feel they are many other bloggers who are more competent at these things, and anyway nowadays I prefer to walk away from arguments. My essays would instead revolve around quirky incidences or personal encounters. Some of them would also be reflections on stories I’ve heard from friends.

Why do people buy imitation goods? Because knock-offs are cheaper? Because originals are too expensive? Or because needs are actually cheap?
Whether you like it or not, Donald Trump is now the President of the United States. The world needs to work on accepting that.
Grim as it might sound, life in Singapore is often one lifelong game of numbers. A game that lasts from seven to seventy.
Would you befriend a classmate notorious for mood swings? Would you acknowledge his symptoms of depression, and reach out to him before he self-destructs?
