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

Baggin TTR

Everyone probably already knows I've been shopping MDS for the longest time and I rarely  switch to other brands because I usually can get whatever I need/want from MDS. Safe to say, though, their recent collections are personally a little disappointing. But I guess it's also a good time to start looking into other retail outlets. In the last couple of weeks, I've frequented FashMob , TCL , TexasRed , YoungHungryFree , Everyday People ,  TTR  and I've to say TTR is by far my favourite. I've gone back so many times with the thought of carting out more items and I am honestly having a hard time resisting the temptation to. I previously only bagged the Flippy Scuba Skirt  (Black Tropicals) because it was the first time shopping with TTR. I take a while to get convinced about the shopping experience but glad to say I fell in love with my first purchase and thereafter did not hesitate to go back for more. I constantly check in to see their latest collecti...

I remember

It's Sunday night all over again. I can hear slight drizzle against the window panes and I'm watching the lights on the other building go out. People must be heading to bed and I wonder: Do they dread waking up to Monday? Do they hate Monday? Do their bodies feel unusually heavy on Monday mornings? Do they drag their feet into office? It was a surprisingly tough day today. But it reminded me of the conversations I had with Ains. " You're really too nice. That's why people always bully you, " she said. I knew this for a long time but I was thinking of the best way to construe my personality without sounding like a pushover because I'm not. I simply developed a sizable threshold for bullshit over the years. I suppose it is my way of maintaining zen and a passive way to show I'm backing down because I believe there's no reason putting up a fight against anyone who has decided not to give me a real chance even before the argument began. To some, when I...

OCT'14 LOOTS OF THE MONTH

I don't know why but I always get so excited talking about my hauls! 🙊 It is too early to start drafting (date check: 2/10/14) but I can't contain my excitement thinking about all the things I want to get VS all the things I will get. Anyway, I'll be updating as the days go by. 1.  Haldis Cheerleader Flare Skirt ($23) from ellysage  (sold out) This is my first  time purchasing from ellysage  and I'm so glad I made this flare skirt my first buy! Coming in my favourite shade of pink, I knew this was a keeper when I first laid my eyes on them (which was almost a month ago by the way) . I mean, how could I possibly resist it!? 😍 Just looking at it makes me feel so happy! Another plus point is it comes with a sewn-on safety shorts! The skirt appears really short on me, especially from behind, so the inner shorts is really an encouraging point. Flare skirts work magic for me. I love how they fit at my waist and then proceed to fall lightly on my hi...
