TwIsTeR Thoughts

Filed under: by: wj

Some things to note. I shall not update for a while, with TwIsTeD Reflections or with The 13, as I prepare for the #$%^ exams.


Some of you have noticed I took down the tag board. No one is using it, so there is no point. So please, write your thoughts through the comments of each post, and I will reply as promptly as possible. 

From the 22nd to the 28th, I have vowed to write out a post on international relations each day in preparation for my IR exams (yah, thats my 'studying'). So, bear with me if i sound lik I am answering an exam question, becos I am.

I have also persuaded the brilliant and dreadfully honest Siah Shu Fen of Vicissitudes of Life! (man, that is a bitch to spell) to give me a guest post in a topic of her choosing. It will be posted after my exams. I am also considering writing short stories concerning The 13 and posting it here.

Thanks for reading!

TwIsTeR thoughts

Filed under: by: wj

Welcome to Twisted Reflections, a blog centered upon the most important subject to me: me.

My name is Tay Wenjie. That's it. No christian or English name. Twister was a nickname from my early days on the basketball court, attributed to the fact that i loved to spin and pivot, perhaps a tad too much at that point. Thus explains the first word of the blog title 'Twisted'. Nothing to do with how sick and demented I am, though some may agree that it is so.

Reflections is what it is, reflections. It is thoughts, theories and observations to how my mind works, how the mechanisms around me operate and how the world works. It is an establishment of my philosophies. Takes on my daily life activities (i.e today, i woke up and brushed my teeth) will be few, if any. Which is the reason why i may seem conceited, self-centered in this blog. Because this blog is really essentially about me.

The writing process, or blogging, is therefore for my sake.It is open to readers as writing without readers is, to me, like cooking without anybody to eat it. My opinions is going to be my opinions, so it is not in any intention of mine to insult anybody's ego. However, I'm going to be frightfully blunt. about my friends, my family, my girlfriend and other matters. Therefore, readers should either accept my views or quietly disregard it. Updates will vary - I will write when i feel like it.

Punctuation and english is also going to be inconsistent. This is not a school assignment. So short forms and singlish will come whenever i feel like it, same as spelling errors and capitalisations. Those readers who insist on reading pristine english, which I am very welll capable of, must therefore take note.

This take on writing is actually wholly different from my storyblog, which i am now co-writing(although it is beginning to feel as if i m the primary author already, dammnit).

Those who know me know that 2 sports have been the center of my life: Basketball and swimming. And for 2 very different reasons too.As a result of my obsession with basketball is my obsession with the NBA, particularly the Los Angeles Lakers. Therefore, some of my posts will feature my thoughts, frustruations and my views of the nba and basketball in general.

other notes of myself are:
age:22
siblings: 2 younger brothers
country: Singapore
School: Singapore Institure of Management under University of London (Banking and Finance).


So let the fun begin.
