Hello, I blog!

Who Am I?

Oh hello! I’m Brenda.

My name means ‘sword’. It has a violent meaning, methinks. But I don’t see myself as a violent person. Aggressive, perhaps. The most I’d do is punch a few pillows. Not to mention how I curse and swear too much for my own good. But I’d never lay a finger on people. (Unless you’re this person.)

I live in Singapore, the country so humid that you are literally swimming in hot air. Think a giant sauna.

I was born on the 6th November 1986, which makes me… not so young. Although I like to think I am older or younger, depending on the situation. I don’t look my age. I’ve had people mistaking me for a 18 year old, even up to today. And I let them bask in that reverie until the first expletive slipped out, which was when they decided I was much, much older. (Uh, oops.)

I smile at bright colours, but ironically I like to wear black and white.

I’m a perfectionist. I write in a straight line, have my books arranged on my shelf according to author and size, and my clothes arranged according to colour. One speck of dust on my table and I’d scream. One object out of place and I’d yelp.

I have a problem with authority, and an ego too large for my small frame. I only do things when I want to and see the value in doing it, and not because I am told to do so. I am also highly protective of my individuality, and I don’t appreciate people trying to change me.

I’m weird. I break into random facts, quips or toilet humour as and when I feel like it. These may either be witty, corny or just ‘too much information’. You can either say that I brighten up your life, or that I drive you up the wall. I’ll let you decide.

I do silly stuff, like crawling under tables as if they were tunnels, making up songs on the fly and making crazy faces in photos. I also like walking in the rain. Also, I will tell you if I’m about to fart.

I challenge social norms, because I believe the human race has to re-evaluate how we do things. Just because a habit or a practice is generally accepted, or has become ‘a part of the real world’ doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. I see a lot of flaws in human society – particularly its stiffness and strong adherence to social ‘rules’ – and I intend to make a difference to that.

I’m highly driven. Once I set my mind on a goal, I’d do everything within my means to achieve it. (This sounds like a line out of a resume. -.-) Well, apart from the goal of getting out of bed each morning on time, that is, considering how I snooze my alarm clock on average six times a day.

I love spending time alone – just chilling with a book, and sipping a cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate. I used to love hanging out with people, but now I find that just drains too much of my energy.

I’m the girl clearly by my loudly coloured hair (previously purple, then blonde, then blue, now part blond/part black).

And I salute you if you’ve read this far.

Blogs have feelings too, so it deserves an introduction …

I’ve been blogging since mid-2001. My thoughts can be pretty random, so I publish posts at my own whim and fancy. This blog shall have no particular theme, because I enjoy the therapeutic effects of rambling about anything under the sun. Have you ever experienced the feeling of being so liberated after you’ve gotten everything out of your system? (Kinda like the sense of satisfaction after having a really good shit.)

I drew, coded and wrote everything you see on this site, because I like creating things from scratch.
