2009 In Review #3: Final Words, New Moments
So this is the last part of my reflections on the year.
Indeed, I am blessed to have had the opportunity to travel the world and open my eyes to so many things around me.
New friendships gained from my exchange programme in Mannheim, and also from my classes here in NUS.
For the most part, 2009 has been a huge bed of roses.
But those roses are also accompanied by the thorns.

2009 In Review #2: Europe is our Playground
On the 3rd of February this year, I boarded a plane bound for Germany. I was about to embark on an exciting chapter of my life; travelling to Europe for the first time ever, living abroad for 6 months on exchange, and living away from my family for the first time ever.
Germany was my gateway to Europe, and Europe was my gateway to the world. 2009 has been the year of the most extensive travels...

But here in Singapore, you can almost say that every day is summertime for us. Even in the midst of this monsoon season, the sun always...
The Green Un-Manifesto
The Copenhagen Climate Summit draws to a close today, but my sentiment is that all nations have not reached a satisfactory agreement on carbon reductions, as well as responsibilities on individual carbon emissions. Not exactly what you’d call breakthrough then.
Yes, climate change affects ALL of us - that, we cannot deny. But whether or not we, as individuals, rise up to the challenge to...
The Not-So-Relationship

Anyway, my girlfriends and I had a good chat last night for a few hours - talking about the course of our lives, our past … and...
