Monday: Public holiday #2 of the week. Walked anywhere I could think of. Stumbled across a Singaporean bookstore and bought two books by local authors. Hit 34,506 steps. Made plans for next week with a friend.
Tuesday: 7:30 AM read before work. Had lunch (salmon and rice) with co-workers. Discovered a new Chobani flavour. Listened to my French Open podcast while making dinner. Considered online shopping and called my parents instead.
Wednesday: Hopped on Substack. Read an essay about why people need to have more fun! Updated my Goodreads. Headed to the office and said farewell to a new friend (excuse my hair below...).
Thursday: Made pasta for breakfast because I’m an adult with autonomy. Went to work and got a cat sticker from Amanda. Tried a new electrolyte drink.
Friday: Picked up my skirt that I got altered after six months (go me). Caught an early flight to George Town in Penang. Walked around all evening to take in all of the sites. I took so many photos, so I'm going to subject you to a small handful of them.
I study Politics and Peace, Conflict, and Justice at the University of Toronto! Last summer, I researched historical maritime delimitation disputes between Canada and the United States. This summer, I'm working at the Centre for International Law at the National University of Singapore to research submarine cables and pipelines in the territorial sea.
I grew up between Singapore and Vancouver, which has undoubtedly influenced my current interest in global affairs and international relations. I love travelling (I'm hoping to travel to Morocco next), tennis (playing and watching), and reading.
