ABOUT

Hello there!

My name is Smita and I'm a 25-year-old writer hailing from the giant little red dot, Singapore. I am also affectionately known as Smi to my friends.

If you haven't guessed yet, I am of mixed heritage - half-Indian, half-Chinese, and I'm proud of it.

I am a graduate from Nanyang Technological University's Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, specialising in journalism. Building on my love for writing, I started freelance writing for Simply Her magazine, and have had my hand at medical writing.

I was also an English tutor every Sunday morning for a good three years, seeing a class of adorable yet dorky kids from when they were in Primary 3 all the way till they completed their PSLE.

Apart from writing and teaching, my other interests include K-pop, reading, shopping, working out, animal welfare, family time and rolling in bed.

You should also know that I have the most lovable Shetland Sheepdog, appropriately named Shelty, and he turns 13 this year. We've had him since he was just 7-months-old! You will find him on Instagram #sheltywee.

I'm also available on Instagram but have, sadly, given up on the other social media platforms.

See you around!
xoxo

Murhphy's Law

" Why don't you take a loan? " " Is it worth it? " " I don't know but I know you wanna go. " ---------- Today, the bestf introduced me to one of Murphy's Laws. (I just Googled it and realize he has many laws.) Anyway, the one most relevant to my life right now is the one that states anything that can go wrong, will go wrong  and I guess the bestf had all the reasons to share Murphy's Law with me. The sister and I brought Shelty to see his doctor today. We were half-sure his doctor would suggest surgery so we tried our best to mentally prepare ourselves for the blow. Nothing too unexpected except the cost . Of course, I'd say $2-2.5k for a surgery of that scale is considerably reasonable. After all, Shelty's got dislocated hips (hence the disjoined joints). But, nonetheless, $2-2.5k is something we never imagined. Not before and definitely not now with all the debts we've to pay off. We had a long day. Both the ...

Crafty Wednesdays!

I'm ever so proud of my productive Wednesdays because I've no school and I start my day early. (-: I complete my readings for the rest of the week by 6PM and I've the rest of the evening to do  other  things. Today! I did something I've always wanted to try for a long time and that is to revamp a notebook ! Yes, I did it and I'm pretty satisfied with the end result because its my first  time attempting. A couple of weeks back, I bought an A4 sized notebook from Cotton On since they were having a discount. I paid $5 (or $10) for it but the cover was stained. As expected from (defected) goods on sale, but I wasn't bothered. To get an idea of what my book looked like initially, imagine a baby pink hardcover notebook. Nothing spectacular but it was a pretty shade of pink just that it happened to be stained right in the middle. I bought it anyway. Thereafter, I wrapped the book with brown paper twice. So I ended up with something like that. It was eve...

JULY'15 LOOTS OF THE MONTH

There's a fridge magnet on my refrigerator that very aptly describes me when it comes to my shopping. The teeter actually bought it for me when we were in the U.K two years ago and till today, nothing has changed. I have shopped all my life and still have nothing to wear. That's right, that's me. But, to be fair, I actually make it a point to clear my clothes once or twice a year because we do not have enough storage to hold all the clothes my teeter and I have together. Not just clothes, of course. I clear out my bags, shoes and lingerie too. So once again, it is the time of the month to share all the ahem  amazing items I bought. If you're wondering, and if you've been following, I did do a bit of shopping in the U.K. Not much because that wasn't the main objective of our trip but I enjoyed browsing through the racks of clothes at New Look, possibly my favourite brand in the U.K, and Aldo. Shopping in Singapore is still quite the experience for me n...
