Strange, funny things in the UK — #2

Due to popular demand, I’m releasing the second part of my UK Funnies list earlier than I’d planned. Yeah, I know, it’s a bit ironic posting a blog about the UK on Singapore’s National Day. It’s not...

My head is swimming. My snack cupboard is empty. I’ve forgotten what my boyfriend looks like. (Joking.) I’m HUNGRY. That’s what happens when you’ve spent the last two weeks staring at your computer...

My boyfriend the defender of bugs

There is a spider in my bath tub. Brown, about an inch in diameter including the legs. The moment of discovery happened when I was brushing my teeth and at the same time reaching across the bath tub to...

The mascara-ed flying wonder in my kitchen

I didn’t really want to write this post because my skin itches whenever I look at insect photos, even photos that I took myself. But I have to because I can’t get over my curiosity; it is quite a...

The marriage post

So, the reason I haven’t blogged for weeks is that a lot has happened. It sounds a bit ironic because lifestyle bloggers tend to have more to blog about when more things happen but, for me, I just get...

Life after marriage

Of course, I didn’t expect anything to change after marrying Piers. We’d already lived together as well as endured a long-distance relationship, over a period of two and a half years, and we’d...

Wow, I really needed another blog

Like I have so much to say that I’m flooding this blog with too many posts. Like I have too much time on my hands. Like I really need another platform to prove my existence. NO. But I’ve gone and...

Facebook can now read your mind

So, I’ve decided to come out of my unexplained month-long solitary confinement because A) It’s about bloody time, and B) I just had to share this story. Remember that I have, on several occasions,...

This year, I’m making a wish

I always get melancholically introspective on New Year’s Eve. This year is no different. Some years I’m out partying my head off, getting drunk during the big countdown. Other years I’m at home...

Deciding a wedding on a coin toss

First, allow me to admit that I’m an awful decision-maker. I’m quite possibly the worst decision-maker in the whole world, and that is no casual boast. For example, I will totally forgo having a meal...

Why I disappeared again

I’m back! Again! So, okay, that took a bit longer than planned, but it’s all normal. I just got side-tracked a little, as I’m wont to do. (I hate the phrase “wont to do” so I don’t know why I’m using...

Death of the New Year’s resolution

I bet you all think I’ve gone and disappeared again! But I’m still here, and I really mean to not disappear again! For at least a month! That’s one of my New Year’s resolutions. And I’m rather...

The pain of healing

When I first started my accidental journey to awesomeness three weeks ago, I would type random thoughts in my iPad throughout the day, every day. It helped me keep track of my progress as well as all...

Tricked into being happy

Gratitude and positivity: These were poisonous words to me not so long ago. I mean it in the way that loud music and bright lights are abhorrent to someone with a hangover. When you’re suffering from...

For my grandmother

My grandmother passed away last week at age 98. She was my paternal grandmother, my last surviving grandparent. I wasn’t going to write about it because I felt it was a bit morbid, and also...

Rebellion week

In the three weeks since my last update, I must have written and deleted about 10,000 words because I haven’t been able to write anything that passed the Sheylara OCD Edit. The Sheylara OCD Edit is a...

I can’t win

I’ve been struggling lately. It feels like the universe is either testing me or being mean just for the fun of it. After months of trying to keep on top of a healthy, productive lifestyle and being...
