domesticated

with home ec classes in middle school, i discovered that i possessed the ability to produce semi-edible things. everyone has to start somewhere. i started with semi-edible things.
when people caught wind of this semi-talent, the general feedback was, 'you cook? wow, that's impressive. you don't look the sort.' i guess i really should don my pretty, lacy aprons more often...
in college: 'you clean?' yes. i clean like my mother. ask kenneth. singaporean mothers have the same cleaning techniques and use the same cleaning chemicals. and we learned them all via osmosis.
most recently, i like making things. and i'm excited about my newfound domestic skill: sewing. additionally, i've been practicing my xacto knife skills and also my book-making skills. pictures to showcase my new skills...


the book





i felt like a sewing genius with this lunchbag. also ask snüz about her lunchbag!

being sportive

i've never been a runner. there's no need to poll close friends or relatives. just take my word for it.

call it the power of persuasion perhaps. i'm choosing to call it sneaky. this is what's been happening: zerr's training for the wirefly half marathon that's happening at the end of march. two weekends ago, i ran 7 miles with her (6.5 miles the previous weekend). how did this happen? i don't understand. this weekend: 8 miles. gulp slash help?
