How does it feel to return to a home city with such global aspirations? For the Singaporean academics we spoke to, it was the anxiety of proving why they are good enough to stay. Sharing a new article on global pressures within local spaces. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thank you!!! for the shout-out prof Sneha, and for coming to my screening + being very supportive of my idea to produce an ethnographic film from the beginning! Words can't describe the joy I feel being given the trust (and resources + mentorship) to tell this story about my home

My project at Synecdoche, Pookie on the impacts of remote work on Philippine economic geography was awarded Outstanding Capstone in Urban Studies! I am grateful to the Urban Studies major and my advisor Prof Stern for enabling me to do independent research on issues & places I care about

"In a country where only 6 percent of households own cars, free or low-cost car parking is akin to providing a subsidy for the most affluent while everyone bears the economic costs and other impacts."

Asked my friend Ishmam to take new photos of me in front of CREATE Tower, sporting ANTHILLFabricGallery traditional Filipino binakol fabric (probably my favourite shirt ever, and one I've used in my past few LinkedIn photos) #NewProfilePic

We find every reason in the world to be mad at people walking, cycling, or dancing on the street, but we think that streets choked with cars is some kind of natural condition
