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...

Between hellos and goodbyes

I have been meaning to update since April when the memories of March were still fresh. But the weeks slipped by and here we are at the tail end of May. March: the apotheosis of life March has always been my favourite month. It is the month my brother, teeter and I grow a year older. Teeter and I have traditionally celebrated our birthdays together (because her birthday is the day after mine), and then we celebrate my brother's birthday at the end of the month. Growing older together is somehow more meaningful and worth celebrating. This year, we had lunch at Lobster & Burger and a durian cake from Four Seasons. We were supposed to try The Three Peacocks for my brother's birthday but Baby Yeo was on stay home notice, so we ordered in from Pizza Hut instead. In a time we all thought we were taking baby steps to normalcy, I was fortunate enough to celebrate all month long without restrictions. My friends took me out and had cake delivered to me. I ate and ate and ate till I co...
