Topics

Four threads I return to in Tiong Bahru — routines, food, walks, and rain.

Daily Routines

Morning pages, the first cup of coffee, and the habits that hold a weekday together before the MRT fills up.

Food & City

Tiong Bahru Market, shared tables, and the small negotiations of eating well alone in a city built around food.

Walks

Seng Poh Road after six, void decks at sunset, and the thinking that only happens when your feet know the route.

Weather & Mood

Monsoon afternoons, the flat gone quiet, and how grey skies change what you read and how slowly you move.
