Still at Home – August 2020

It’s August, and we are no longer in quarantine (aka circuit breaker.)

Apparently it is June, or so they say. May came and went, but I hardly noticed (save for scribbling tally marks on the wall in the lavatory.) It has been approximately 75 days since what I could consider a near sentencing, but really, who’s counting? Some ominous music cue 2001 is perfect for this melodramaticContinue reading “What Day Is It Again?”

April 2020 Thoughts

Or Is This Real Life or Is This Just Covid-19? Lately, I’ve been feeling sluggish and losing direction in life. It’s funny how life throws you a curveball and everything comes to a standstill. It’s certainly hard to imagine living frivolously through a difficult time such as this one when the realities and fragility ofContinue reading “April 2020 Thoughts”

March 2020 – A New Beginning

Finally, an updated website for a new lease on life this March. I was feeling restless for a couple of days, and forgot about a to-do list I wrote down back in December that was filled with things I wanted to do but was “too busy” to do it while I was working 15 hourContinue reading “March 2020 – A New Beginning”

City Snaps: London August 2019 (Part ii)

London is particularly beautiful towards the end of summer – some sunshine even with cloudy days, which really remind me of Magritte’s paintings. There were so many terrific exhibitions going on, and I ended up with museum fatigue close to the fifth or sixth day but I powered through. Exhibition FOMO must exist outside ofContinue reading “City Snaps: London August 2019 (Part ii)”

City Snaps: London August 2019 (Part i)

I’ve been to the Barbican a couple of times now (typically for concerts or art shows), but I’ve never forked out the time to go for an architecture tour till this time round. The docents were knowledgeable and brought us to places that were closed off to the public. We even got to see theContinue reading “City Snaps: London August 2019 (Part i)”

Art: Sleepless by France-Lise McGurn

Sleepless by France-Lise McGurn, 29 June – 8 September 2019, Tate Britain. Humanity in all it’s excitement – for better or for worse is such a wonderful study in intimacy. The idea of on-site specific exhibitions where the art transcends the canvas is beginning to charm it’s way to me. It’s a pity more peopleContinue reading “Art: Sleepless by France-Lise McGurn”

City Snaps: Copenhagen August 2019 (Part iii)

More snaps from Copenhagen. This city is brilliant and photogenic from every angle. People on the streets seem to have a wonderful sense of style, but beyond that, the city itself has this crisp, refreshing vibe – aloof and detached; everyone in their own element and really just enjoying being. I, too, enjoy being here.

City Snaps: Copenhagen August 2019 (Part i)

Some bits of Denmark’s capital from my visit in August 2019. Copenhagen is beautiful in every way, and it was made better because I got to enjoy the city with close friends. I would like to go back, and potentially eat a giant cheesecake all by myself alongside thirty sausage rolls. Pretty sure my goodContinue reading “City Snaps: Copenhagen August 2019 (Part i)”
