After reading 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' by Michael Pollan (it's a great book, I highly recommend to anyone who's interested in learning more about where our food comes from), I developed a keen interest in making my own food from scratch as much as possible. Since it's currently my 3-month long summer break, and Covid has…
Sunday 20th September 2020: It's the weekend marking the start of mid-semester break! (finally). Two whole weeks of not having to deal with lectures, tutorials, presentations etc...BUT there are still major assignments to plow through. Still, it's a bit of a reprieve from the usual school routine and for that I am extremely thankful. And…
It's a cozy, rainy, slightly chilly Sunday afternoon and I've got some aesthetic lo-fi beats going on in the background as I'm sitting at my study table, fingers flying across the keyboard. So...today it's actually my dad's 60th birthday! I remember how at the beginning of 2020, I was so convinced that I wouldn't be…
Last night I made the impromptu decision to spontaneously book myself a slot for floatation therapy. HUH? What's that all about? That was my initial reaction too, I feel ya. Call me slow, but I've never heard of such a thing before until I googled 'ways to rest and rejuvenate in Singapore' and that was…
Friday 03 July 2020: Last day of exams and first day of break - they ended and began beautifully, with friends that I love and cherish dearly. In some ways, covid stole from us activities such as going out with friends, window shopping, eating, strolling at ease and in comfort. Now, every outing has to…
Friday 03 July 2020: It's been months since I last wrote anything on this blog. The past few weeks have been hectic and insane, just like how the end of semesters typically are. Filled with assignments, quizzes and exams, coupled with covid, staying home for the majority, unsteady internet connection at times - there were…
Tuesday 28 April 2020: Today marks another one of my impromptu spontaneous bakes! I was not planning on making anything/ doing any baking because it's the first week of school since the mid semester break ended and I have more work to do (lectures, tutorials, quizzes and my yet-to-complete assignments which are never ending). But…
Friday 24 April 2020: To mark the ending of my mid-semester break, I decided to embark on one last big major bake before school starts once more and I no longer have the luxury of spending hours in the kitchen. Since the start of the holidays, I planned to make Challah. I can't remember where…

Wednesday 15 April 2020: Todays marks the end of 1 week since I came back home after my quarantine in a separate apartment. Living in a familiar, comfortable, spacious area definitely has its perks - I get to move about freely and have ample space to exercise, I have a comfy bed to curl up…
Wednesday 08 April 2020: It's the first official day of being back in the comfort of my own home, after such a good first sleep in my own bed. The best thing is that I don't have classes today, so there's less rigidity in my schedule, more freedom for me to settle in and do…
