Literally, Hello World!
Just like someone who’s been holding a fart and finally find a safe corner to let it flow out, it’s quite a relieving experience to finally start this page after months of typing and deleting my notes. Writing was once my safe space. Thanks to my love for reading, my favorite writers back then, such as Beatrix Potter, Roald Dahl, and Laura Ingalls Wilder had inspired me to give a splash of beauty in our world through words. It’s still funny how my 10 years old self would even dreamt of being a writer.
My life led me to a different path. I’m still the same awkward girl, but I’ve been working in tech instead. This nerd still found libraries and book stores as her safest playground, but she hasn’t written anything other than technical documents for the past decade. But the universe might just sent me a reminder to fulfill my childhood dream. It gave me a couple of months to reflect on what I’ve done and what I actually wanted to do, and there’s no better form for me to keep them than writings.
I initially thought that these notes were just for my personal enjoyment. But as I thought further, it might not hurt if it could also be enjoyed by others. I’ll be super happy if it turns out to be useful for you, but otherwise, I’m grateful that this brain-dump scribbles can give you a sense of comfort by knowing how messy one’s brain is.
Many thanks to my friends and family (you know who you are) who’s been encouraging me to do this. Even though this is just the beginning, it already taken me a great amount of time to gather the courage and press that ‘sign up’ button!
Happy reading! I’ll be more than happy to take your feedback and comments :)
First Glimpse Through My Eyes
Watch 🎬
Giri/Haji - Yakuza drama with oldskool soul soundtracks, beautiful cinematography, with a little splash of soulful dance sequence. Watching this as an homage to the major success of Shogun in Emmy Awards.
Read 📚
Slouching Towards Betlehem - A collection of essays by Joan Didion, thoughtfully depicting not just hippie cultures in the 60s but also her personal thoughts and reflections in her early 30s. Turns out we’re not that different at all!

Bottega Veneta & Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2025 Show - always love masculine office-core looks from both houses, especially the extra wide structured pants. Of course, the cute animal bean bags might initiate another trend on the room furnishing department :)
