No One Cares About Your Thesis

There’s a quote from Conan O’Brien when he was addressing Harvard students at the Class of 2000 Commencement Ceremony. “A lot of hard work, a lot of your blood went into that thesis. And no one is going to care.” An uproar of laughter came from the audience, but Conan…

moving out and finding home

Earlier this month, I moved out of Bali. In the span of 24 hours, I had dinner with my closest friend there, had one last meal at my favorite pub, and packed the last few things I had into two duffle bags. Like all things in my life, I romanticized…

time moves slow

Earlier this year, I moved to Jakarta. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision — there was a potential opportunity for a project that I was excited about, I had a couple of friends who I was keen to hang out with, and there seemed like there was so much to do…

Retrospective

I. For the majority of 2020 and 2021, like the rest of the world, I was stuck inside. In the beginning, ‘inside’ was my parent’s house, where I would toil away on my thesis for 1 hour and spend the rest of the day playing Animal Crossing. After graduating, ‘inside’ changed…

Mnemosyne

i think some memories are kept close to the heart, that they shine and remain untouched. every sensation still as vivid as the moment it happened. the sun beating down on your pores, the wind gently billowing through cloth, a touch of a hand, a smirk of a smile. but…

Across The Room

Not Thinking About It: Some Thoughts About Writing

You’re your worst enemy. At least, that’s how I feel most of the time when I write. It always feels like it’s not worth writing if it’s not a) meaningful, b) impactful, c) well-written, or d) all of the above. “Writer’s block” is always an easy excuse to not write…

How’s It Going To End?

“The only thing to do now is just to keep living forward.” Recently I’ve been thinking about how it’s going to end. But not just the ending — sometimes I think about everything that’s going to happen in the next month, the next year, five years from now, ten years…

The Ghost Of Me

“I’m never gonna be my hero. I’m not gonna attain that. I know I’m not, and that’s just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.” -Matthew Mcconaughey I’ve recently become obsessed with racing. It started from a fortuitous night last year where I found…

Go Do

“You are not responsible for the world — you are only responsible for your work — so DO IT.” — Sol LeWitt I’ve written a number of letters in my life. But my favorite letter is one that is not my own. Sol LeWitt and Eva Hesse were two American…
