I'm 20 and I'm from Singapore.
This is a quick sum up of my year so far:
I came out earlier this year, and to my family sometime in July. I didn't go very well, probably because I thought it would. I don't think I was naive before, but I assumed that times are different now and that people are less... stupid? Evidently, we're not there yet.
We took in a 3-month-old pup: Bagel the beagle. His hobbies include chewing furniture, humping on towels, and headbutting into my crotch.
I found out that cats are banned in public flats and that my cat of 7 years, my own love, in is danger of being "impounded" to the SPCA if my house gets spot checked. I've decided that if a man comes in here and tries to take her away I'll break him apart and go to jail.
Turning 20 this October forced me to reassess my life. I've been wasting so much time on things that I never even truly cared about. I've been pretending - for whatever the reason I was caught up in - and now I feel derailed. But also filled with a renewed determination to be a better person, to dare to care, and to dare to speak up. I hope this feeling lasts

I’ve got an interview with UNIFEM next week!
It’s so nerve-wracking.. Here’s hoping my CV and non-existent portfolio will help.

I was preoccupied. And I poured boiling water directly on my hand.
Good morning.

The atrium’s covered and the ponds have overflowed.
We are stuck at the library.
Elise, it’s the end. Today’s so full of shit.
This is so epic, but rather kok as well.
My only hope is that the whole things gets so fucked up that school has to shut down tomorrow.
I like that a dude was buying a drink at the machine on the ground floor.
Shit, the Co-op near the library, the Deli, and the radio conti (carpeted) will be inundated. =(. Time to upgrade the drainage system.

Dalif Roos Heilig, a 22-year-old paramedic, found just that a few years ago when he joined SDAM, which claims to be the largest alternative social group in Singapore. “After joining SDAM, I realized that I’m not the only one out there who is dressed in black, or [has] such morbid thoughts,” said Heilig, whose white work uniform is in stark contrast to his hardcore goth look at night.

Ray Wong, a 35-year-old goth veteran who has been in the scene for 20 years, said this change had to come eventually.
I find the term “goth veteran” utterly hilarious.
My life over the next few months.
I can’t wait for Friday’s gambol.
My brother brought this back from KL. If it isn’t the biggest wick I’ve seen..
