Why Would I Write

  • Do you really need to see an ID? this is embarrassing to say

    People inquire about my age all the time. And when I tell them, they usually act surprised. No way! You don’t look 30, you look much younger than that!

    Anyway, that got me thinking. I don’t do anything on purpose to look younger than what my age really is, so it must be something that I do in life which affects my appearance. So in no particular order and by nobody’s request, I’ve decide to share with you my daily routine.

  • work long hours in a stressful environment
  • smoke cigarettes
  • vape
  • drink alcohol
  • don’t exercise
  • sleep less
  • oversleep (occasionally)
  • spend your nights gaming or watching streams redditing before sleep
  • gaming on your phone before sleep
  • drink coffee from doiffee
  • don’t overeat (unless you’re really hungry and havemt over eaten in a while, then you get a free pass)
  • drink coke light or coke zero
  • drink lots of water
  • listen to a lot of music and podcasts
  • smile a lot
  • think of fucked up things which make you laugh
  • masturbate often
  • sing to myself
  • wear fitting clothes
  • try new hairstyles
  • wear thick framed glasses
  • don’t be afraid to try new things
  • don’t go on long holidays
  • travel for work
  • don’t plan for the future, focus on what I have now
  • own a cute dog
  • get a tattoo or two
  • give up religion
  • cut out things from your life if you don’t care about them
  • wear hoodies, even if the weather doesn’t agree you
  • switch to a mechanical keyboard
  • work even if you’re unwell
  • buy cheap guitars from Lazada

    • I’m not sure which ones you should follow if you’re trying to look younger but to be safe you should do all of them. Happy holidays, kids!

  • I am an inconvenient thing

    Welcome to my timely update which always seems to come before or after every Big Bad Wolf Sale! Not much to add besides that I’ve been extremely busy (like how I’ve been throughout the whole year) preparing for the grand finale to 2016. Also, I’ll be headlining with The Sounds of Kites on the 22nd of December at Bullseye Publika for my 103rd gig (shit, I’ve only played like 9 shows this year). More details on that another day. UPDATE: GIG HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

  • Of flies and mosquitoes

    One of the new things I’ve started to experience recently is the feeling of missing home. Maybe it’s old age. Maybe it’s knowing that I have some people dependent on me back home.

    Whatever it is, it’s a new experience. Being someone who didn’t travel overseas to finish college or university, I never had the experience of leaving home for very long periods of time. The longest time I spent away from home was during my one month-long TESOL course.

    In the past 6 months, I’ve probably been away from home for almost two months. And it’s just the beginning. Beginning next year, I’ll be traveling again for work every month or so. It’s crazy. Earlier this year, my girlfriend, Milin was contemplating moving to Hong Kong for work. She declined the opportunity – it would have been a breakup or a long distance relationship. Now it feels like an LDR, except that I’m the one who is away from her instead. Funny how life throws you curve balls.

    Anyway, enough rambling about being away from home. But one thing I will say is that we’ve got awesome food. Also, our weather isn’t terrible. Sure, it gets extremely hot at times, but you can just stay indoors and enjoy air-conditioning.
