You beautiful being

You beautiful being
With deep eyes that speak a thousand things

You beautiful being
Speak wisdom and wondrous things

You beautiful being
Kindness oozes from your very soul

You beautiful being
Strings words together like a melody

You beautiful being
Always listens attentively

You beautiful being
Gentle like a dove

You beautiful being
A smile that lights up a gloomy street

You beautiful being
So far away, but one day we'll surely meet

10 People I want to thank before Christmas

2019 has been an amazing year of ups and downs. But most importantly, 2019 has been a year of meeting really inspiring and encouraging individuals, who have changed how I view the world and have challenged me to renew my mind and to see things from a different perspective. Its 10 days before Christmas. I figured I should write a post to talk about the 10 people who made a huge impact on my life this year. The list is in no particular order. 1. The Youthful Yoongs, Dr Dave and Sue-Anne I first met Dr David Yoong in his discourse analysis class in 2018. I was awkward throughout and hated his guts for the first nine weeks. But I slowly learned how passionate he is about what he was doing and it inspired me to want to take up discourse analysis for my final research. Fast forward, I am so thankful to have met this wise beyond his years supervisor of mine who not only inspired me to take up discourse analysis for my research, he also in one way or another, challenged me to take m...

Day 3: Always be my maybe

Hey. I worked really late last night, writing my script for TV. Do you remember that I told you about it? Haha. I think I did quite okay. I still have quite a lot of work to finish but I think I'm doing quite okay. I've been watching a lot of standup lately, most of them Asian-American stand up comedians like Nigel Ng, Jimmy O. Yang and my absolute favourite, Ali Wong. I finished two of her stand up specials and her movie, Always be My Maybe , which also stars Randall Park. I looked at Randall Park's character, Marcus Kim and think to myself, damn, I am also quite like that. Still too scared to move on from a lot of things in life. I want to chase a lot of things but I... just have no guts to do it. I have always been someone who does my level best to chase my dreams and fight for the things and people I love and want to be with, but somehow this time, when it was you, I started to lose my hope and faith in a lot of things. The thing is, I know that in one ...

Diving into the unknown: Musings of a Gan-cheong spider

I'm extremely afraid of the unknown. I have a crippling fear of it. But wait, who doesn't? (at least, in the beginning) And btw, if you know me, I overthink. I overthink, a little too much. I worry about whether I switched off the wifi at home after I reach my workplace. I worry that I forget my car keys when I leave the house. I worry about what people will think of me, whether they would think that I am too overly friendly or too pushy or just downright making them feel uncomfortable because they don't really want to talk to me. Or if I was being too unkind to them with my words and probably have hurt their feelings. Basically, I overthink when I cannot see what is in the dark. I wish I could be in control of the things that happened in my life, but I know its not in my hands. But as I reflect, I recall what the good doctor once said to me, "I think embrace the unknown. It will make you wiser and advance faster than others." To me, this ...
