Sambal the Red Typewriter has been with me for almost two weeks now.

10 days to be exact. I started a series of Quotes I’m Pondering working very closely with Sambal.

It looks like the coronavirus is not going anywhere anytime soon, so I've braced myself for impact and for more self-love. In addition to the personal mini library I've built in Singapore (yay, books!), I also thought of other ways to amuse myself.

I'm deeply grateful to the delivery man for delivering my Special Edition Harry Potter Paperback Box Set. I bought this beautifully designed box set with artwork by Kazu Kibuishi as a special treat for my annual HP reread fest. I normally reread the e-books but this time I want to indulge myself.

I would like to thank Isaiah Lim, my good friend and colleague, for recommending this book.

TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS is unputdownable. It brought me to tears AND made me laugh out loud. It’s a book that I can’t stop reading.

I started reading The Song of Achilles about two days ago.

I'm now at 63% and loving it. The relationship between Achilles and Patroclus is special and sexy.
