A Short History of the Singapore Cosplay Scene, Part 2
Cosplay starting getting bigger. Some of my friends were interviewed by Channel 8, and there was some articles in the newspapers about it, but the aunties selling clothes in Chinatown still had no idea what I was buying all this cloth for, so all I was able to tell them was that it was for […]
A Short History of the Singapore Cosplay Scene, Part 1
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…wait, no, wrong story, this one is about the Singapore cosplay and anime scene. Where did it all start? No one really knows. Reports have come in from various sources that in ancient times, there was a group that was called the RKFC (Rurouni Kenshin Fan […]
America, Day 17
Felt pretty good today. I think I am shedding the idea that writing has got to be this incredibly emotional endeavor involving blood, sweat and random inspiration. You just have to get out of yourself and your head and let it flow. Easier said that done, but also easier done than said. I sort of […]
America, Day 16
Had a really good talk with my close friend last night, in which we discussed many things, some unprintable. It was humbling to discover that we humans, despite our many shields and illusions, are actually really much the same at heart. We have our differences, our hangups, our pains, but we’re all here on the […]

America, Day 15
Woke up early again. I know why I sleep less everyday now… no one’s trying to kill me anymore! Whoo-hoo, score one for Captain Obvious! But honestly, though, it’s a great feeling to have less energy with less sleep. More time for blogging, for one. Pizza for breakfast! It doesn’t get more American than that. […]
America, Day 14
Woke up to…another attack of the past. I guess I should be happy it’s coming up to be healed but at the same time it’s kind of a drag. I’m getting more and more familiar with the sensations of them now though. Much of what I am experiencing are things from my post-suicidal period in […]
America, Day 13
America, Day 13 I foresee a long day of blogging and working on my site ahead. Also I may actually finishing watching Gundam Unicorn, especially as BQ has a nice TV on which to watch it. No car in the US can be quite a downer. There’s a bike but it’s not yet travel-ready. Tomorrow […]
America, Day 12
America, Day 12 Woke up early because I slept early, starting writing more blog posts. These things don’t write themselves! FInding it easier and easier to write now I’m getting into a habit of doing it practically every day at regular times. There is something to be said for internalization. Still sometimes haunted, still wish […]
America, Day 11
Another fortuituous day, May Day. Time for church, which I was quite looking forwards to. I never thought the day would come that I would actually be LOOKING FORWARDS TO GOING TO CHURCH. But then again that was before I discovered a church like this. The sermon was on pornography. I really admire the minister […]
