Overwhelmed.

With too much work.

With too many commitments that are both exciting, challenging and time-consuming.

With all the organisations that I'm supposed to be doing to feel less messy and to actually start doing some productive work, but I'm not.

With all sources of distractions that my cursor will automatically point to and click once I sit down in front of the laptop.

With all sources of distractions that I will lead myself to instead of my table and my pile of work.

With the determination of not sacrificing my entertainment for my productivity, and ending up sacrificing everything and not being productive at anything.

With all the expectations that I'm supposed to fulfill that may not even matter at the end.

Do they?


People underrate this song SO MUCH for its generic EDM beat (blame will.i.am) and how Britney is not getting out of her comfort zone (ref: Scream & Shout). But even with a song like this, if you listen to the lyrics, you'll find something. For me it's the motivation to work. Bitch. (lol)

"You wanna hot body
You wanna Bugatti
You wanna Maserati
You better work bitch

You want a Lamborghini 
Sipping martinis
Look hot on a bikini
You better work bitch

You wanna live fancy
Live in a big a mansion
Party in France
You better work bitch

You better work bitch
You better work bitch
You better work bitch

Now get to work bitch
(aaaaaa oooh)
Now get to work bitch
(aaaaaa oooh)"

It's another New Year!

If you know me, you know that I don't usually do new year's resolutions. Because what is time but a social construct? Like ok, I see the point, and if it helps to motivate people into doing things, good for them. But I've never been the kind of person that is able to follow through with something if I plan them too rigorously. But then again, now that I'm 5.5 years into the corporate life, I realise that planning is important, and not even for the kind of big picture capitalist goals/visions/missions thing that companies do, but even for the day to day kind of work, because of how technologies have created this need to be super 'efficient' and 'productive'. Sometimes I wish that writing a blog post like this could be considered 'productive' as well in this capitalist world, because then I may be more motivated to write more than one post per year. Remember the time that I wanted to write one blog post per week and I wrote like 5 posts? Lol. Anywa

Life in quarantine

Ah hello, it's been a while. Not that anyone visits this blog anymore lol. But it's still good to be able to write things out some time. So we're entering the third week of lockdown here in Singapore. Yes it is a lockdown despite what the formal term is. And me, being a good citizen and law-abiding non-Singaporean, is staying at home. Thank you e-commerce and delivery services (as well as frontliners and health workers, of course). It's interesting to see how things are panning out, at least from the way people are reacting to this. For me personally, I really don't mind being at home for most of my week, but I do enjoy the very rare trips to the convenience stores nearby or just to check my mails downstairs. I've grown increasingly lazy to even go out to a supermarket and buy actual grocery - luckily my roommates will be happy to help. Generally I do feel that people are frustrated because they don't have a choice - das ist nicht freiwillig! (Yes I
