if I could nominate a #Christmas #Grinch of this era, I nominate #AI, which has been going around stealing people's art and other hard-earned work. Not very Christmassy at all!

Thought of the day: how to survive watching #Avatar3FireandAsh given its length (3 hours 15 minutes)

After so many years the muscle memory of heading to Kent ridge is still there—down the escalator at Buona Vista and turn left 😂

One week in and I’m still not used to the new Tanah Merah station. I don’t even alight there often and even so it looks weird looking in from the train

These latest iOS updates really are getting out of hand They take up 13-20% of phone space?? Insane

very very excited for #Avatar3FireAndAsh, waited 3 years for this since #Avatar2. Hope it doesn't disappoint
