Coming Home
Lectures, Orientation Week, and student theatre – it’s was all online. It’s like the whole world took a massive Swot Vac and we had to learn the basics again. Everything was transported online, and almost overnight our same-same lives became very different. Studying at my new virtual learning hub – The University of Melbourne, feels […] -
Check In Time! #2
9:37pm, Singapore. It’s recess week! Hopefully, that means more time to relax and catch my breath. Somehow, it took me really long to get down to writing this post. Maybe being frequently distracted by Youtube and Tiktok played a part, but another reason is due to me not knowing what to blog about. Ever since […] -
🌞 Furniture oil and drip paintings 🌞
So, um, it’s October now. Time flies when you’re having fun? Nihilism aside, I have to be honest, quarantine hasn’t been complete trash. And you know I actually have had fun the past couple of days – furniture oil and drip paintings. It’s kind of funny, I don’t feel very different or that much has […] -
Spring has sprung
Historically, I’ve associated September with sunshine, flowers and school holidays, though now, my conceptualisation has shifted to snow (!!!!), showers (from the sky, but also of the conventional kind) and NO BREAK OF ANY KIND. I’m really hanging out for mid-semester break, so that I can complete the 150 pages from W7 and -8 that […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/09/26/spring-has-sprung

Good book recommendations???
Yes, yes, I know that there are already 8 books sitting next to my bed waiting to be read BUT *whispers* I want another one. So I’ve been reading this big old book for a while, and this is not to say I didn’t love it, but it took me a long time and I need […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/09/20/good-book-recommendations

Check-In Time! #1
11:06pm, Singapore. I have just spent the past 5 minutes watching an ant crawl on my room wall… what a great use of my time. As a Singaporean, I would frequently complain how hot the weather is due to our tropical climate. These few days, it seems to be raining non-stop. Can’t understand why, but […] -
Mid term Madness
It’s week 6 and the craziest one so far. Assignments are due but that’s not a problem for me. What’s giving me panic attacks is I have no background in some subjects and am learning everything right from the programming language it is written in, to the actual stuff they talk about in the lectures, […] -
My First Presentation – Finally done
Day after Tomorrow dawned too early. No complaining, just saying. I was in a state half the day. The other half, preparing my presentation and figuring out ways of not making a fool of myself. When the moment finally arrived, I was much relaxed than I had expected, thanks to the live guitar pre-presentation session. […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/09/03/my-first-presentation-finally-done

Hello, world! :)
12:31am, Singapore. Just finished watching a lecture (which I understood precious little of, whoops), and trying to convince myself that everything will miraculously solve itself out and all will be well (now I’m really wishing my life were like a Disney film). At the same time, I’m wondering how to (properly) begin this post, so […] -
Too warm for Christmas
Hello there! Yes, yes I know. It feels like years since I last updated. Past two months have been insane! So much has happened and I don’t where to begin. Just kidding. Things were pretty ordinary. I got caught up with procrastination and it took me a while to wake up from the daze. My […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2019/12/19/too-warm-for-christmas
