Women’s March: The Male Gaze
“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy:…
Women’s March: So What?
I curated a Spotify playlist which I titled “어쩌라고.” which in Korean means: “So What?” Yeah, it sounds obnoxious I know, but bear with me because I swear I have a reason. I’m a 20 year old Malaysian Chinese female who comes from a relatively traditional extended family. Very joystick-toting, “no boyfriend yet ah?”, children-are-meant-to-be-seen-and-not…

Butterfly Effect: Open to Submissions!
The term “Butterfly Effect” was coined by Edward Lorenz in the 1960s who, based on chaos theory, suggested that something as miniscule as the flapping of a butterfly’s wings as it takes off into sweet, spring air could cause minute changes in the Earth’s air pressure, a chain reaction, a torrential falling of dominos that…

Top Chef: You can never have TOO MUCH dessert! Presenting to you cupcake basket
I love to eat desserts. I’ve been baking since I was a kid, not much of a story there. My main inspiration has to be MasterChef Australia (I took the “dream big or go home” thing to heart). I am a super fan without a doubt, but the twist is, I don’t want to be there as a contestant. I want to be the judge. Maybe somewhere in my subconscious I feel like baking will help me replace a judge some day? :P
