The Moon Journal

Oh, the trap I've fallen into with the Grishaverse...don’t get me wrong, it’s a very good trap! I have a tendency to fall in love with things that aren’t real in a big way, and when I say aren’t real, I mean fictional characters or anything within the mythical realm.

This trilogy consists of the following books - Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, & Ruin and Rising. Shadow and Bone did...

When The Harmony Tarot first arrived at the store, I was extremely drawn to it’s purple matte packaging. The fonts used and simplistic yet intricate details on the print just took my greedy tarot loving heart away. This set consists of 78 cards in total, all inclusive of the major and minor arcana in the traditional tarot, but here’s the twist—way beyond divination, this deck offers perspectives focused on physical, emotional and mental well-being.

It's challenging to...

All I had to do was have a card and I’d be able to borrow enough books to make my arm ache on the way home. It was always a no brainer for me, why do I need to purchase them when I have an unlimited supply of stacked bookshelves at my convenience? Then, as I grew up and started stumbling upon more books, I sadly (yet excitedly) started getting really attached to books and my heart...

Prior to my current eduction in communications, politics and policy, I majored in interior design for five years for my diploma and degree. Urban planning, public housing and environmental identity of spaces and places have always sparked my interest, especially during my younger years as an interior design student. As a small city-state, Singapore had to quickly catch up and be at the forefront of development to ensure that Singaporeans could enjoy a high standard of living and a stable socio-political environment. Often referred to as the jewel of Southeast Asia, Singapore has transformed its urban landscape and filled it...
