It started with a T-shirt. While trying on T-shirts at Uniqlo, I realised that not a single M-sized shirt could hide my proudly protruding belly. Aren’t these changing room mirrors supposed to make you look more attractive than you actually are? Ugh. It was time to do something about it. I didn’t want to do the usual “join […]
I watched the play HOTEL by W!ld Rice last weekend. It was easily one of the best plays I’d seen in a while: Awesome storyline, witty script, superb acting, and loads of deep concepts about Singapore’s identity/history to think about. Not just that, but the actors spoke in nine languages. Nine! They flawlessly switched between English,
Two important things happen in late April: First, it’s the only time of the year when I get to post this amazing meme: (Hands up if you totally rocked to N’Sync songs in secondary school.) Second, it’s also my birthday. The fact that I can memorise all the lyrics of N’Sync songs betrays my age:
I was a pretentious jackass when I was 20 years old. For example, I thought that lip-syncing to Mark Ronson’s “Ooh Wee” (complete with rap hand gestures) in Phuture made me look really cool.

Honey I’m home!! Didja miss me? So sorry for the looong absence – I was travelling through Orlando, Miami, the Bahamas and New York City for the past couple of weeks. I’ll update you guys more about my trip in a bit (still trying to catch up on mad post-vacation work), but today I wanted
One of the things I can’t stand about motivational blogs is that they’re always posting pictures of a person running on a beach, with a headline like “Run towards your dreams”. It’s like they think we spend our nights staring out at the sky, arms outstretched, and singing kumbiya. Facepalm. Here at cheerfulegg, we adopt a
Do you remember the first time you felt like a baller? I do. It was my first time at an outlet mall in the US. I was a first-year college student, and I had a $600 USD allowance to buy winter clothes. This was a HUGE thing for a dude who’s grown up all his life
