We Are Yale-NUS.

I've mostly kept quiet for the past two days following the announcement of the closure of my school, Yale-NUS College, in 2025. I refrained from writing too much and quickly posting on social media to join in the many grievances expressed by fellow YNC students; mainly because I wasn't comfortable putting my grieving process out...

A Glass Full of Water

Grandma didn't recognise me at the dinner table today. Perhaps she sensed from the interactions of everyone at the table that I am someone known to the family, a normal part of the family, that I've been there all along but she just cannot recall who I might be.

Il semble toujours qu’il n’y a... Continue Reading →

A French Marriage

It has been a week since I attended a traditional French wedding, but somehow it felt like ages ago. Everything went by in a flash. I still remember anticipating this huge event since my exchange year began, when Papa first sent me an email telling me that my eldest host sister was engaged and set... Continue Reading →
