Beauty is Subjective

Photo by  Lisa Fotios  from  Pexels I recently watched a youtube video by a local content creator and she was sharing how she normally spends her days, now that she is back in Singapore to visit her family. While each day is unique, she typically divides her time between spirituality, work, healthy and family and friends. Each one is pivotal in the running of her life and being productive. I think that is a great way in how you spend time and make the best use of it, rather than just wasting time on social media which uh..most of us are guilty of. Me especially, lol. Anyway, what caught my interest to write this blog post was a shopping trip she had with her sisters. One of her younger sisters liked this blouse with banana prints on it, which in her opinion, was pretty questionable, prompting her to ask if she thought that looked nice. Her sister confidently said 'Beauty is subjective'.  Well, she is right. I honestly never thought of phrasing it that way th...

The Psychology of Being Poor

I recently watched this documentary on CNA Insider and then found out later that it was actually from a few years ago. But still, it gave the viewers a glimpse into the lives of those people living in rental flats, their struggles in life and how they were coping on government's welfare and social services rendered to them. Although this was a throwback series, the reality still remains that such groups of people do exist and by knowing more about their situations, we open up our minds and be more grateful that some problems we have in life, are not as big as compared to theirs. Surprisingly, most of the comments weren't so nice by putting the blame on them that they brought this situation upon themselves. Honestly, I was also surprised why they had so many children, or keep adding to the brood, when they were already struggling to feed the children already. Imagine, having 7 children, on a $800 pay check and the fact that if he didn't work, he won't receive inco...

My Slight Obsession with K Pop Bands

The last few weeks, I have been so caught up with two popular Korean bands, whether on youtube or on Spotify, because one day I decided out of boredom to learn the names of all the members of BTS when they released their latest single. My exposure to K pop music stemmed from my fitness classes, K Pop X and K Kardio. Their music is very catchy and are great to dance or work out to and you truly get to enjoy yourself even you're deadbeat tired trying to make those moves. So there were a lot of fan made videos of the band's appearances on variety programmes that showed the silliness of the members and behind the scenes video footages where you get to know their personalities better. Speaking of performances, you can't hep but be captivated by their high energy singing and choreography done in synchronisation without missing a beat. It's not easy and requires many hours of training but they get better and better with each performance. They are also multi talented performe...
