In this episode of Rye off React I decided to answer this few questions that was asked; Why you never edit your podcast? (your podcast very raw you know?) How many listeners you have (if not alot why you still do it?) Why you want to do Podcasts? I decided to deep dive into these questions as I also want to share more about the idea and intent behind my podcast.

In this episode of Rye off React, Chilli and I read about this intriguing story about sexuality. What if you found out that you are attracted to men instead of women, but you're married to one. Do you talk to your wife about it? If so how can we go about doing so? How would she feel? How does one tackle their changing/if not uncommon sexuality?

3am thoughts; the time of the night where we are stuck between the limbo of sleep and insomnia, where the future and the past haunts us. Love. The one feeling that moved us effortlessly. What if... the person we love doesn't exist? It's just an imagination in our head. The impression we form, the reason we give ourselves. We see what we want, and the existence of that being just happenss t...

A tricky topic nevertheless for us to pick through. Sure we have no say in another peron's relationship but what would you do if you are about to be your best friend's bestman, but only to find out that his fiance have been calling your girlfriend by an offensive racial slur? It's tricky right? Do we have a conversation about it? Sure, but it is also a hard topic to thread as you might...

I was in between insomnia, flipping around when I decided to go back memory lane. 4am in Singapore; a writing that I once put myself into the back seat, writing what it was like for insomnia for me in Singapore, at 4am. It was a strange time, in between dawn and dusk, a time when you see the world go quiet. Reading this awkward 12 years old piece of work of mine.

In this episode of Rye off React, we came across a heavy topic. What would you do if your spouse to be disappeared on the day of the wedding, leaving you to deal with the whole wedding alone? People would keep asking you what happened and why; but you'll still be as clueless since you are "abandoned" and ghosted for several months after. Months done the road and suddenly this person...

It was an interesting night, and I decided to push up the queuing of this. I recorded this after coming back from our Singapore Genshin Concert (Day 1), and everything was so surreal. The music and everything is great (of course), though I'd reckon to have more Liyue music anytime. The highlight to me however, is our Discord Community recruitment drive, where we give away Genshin Acrylic piece...

"Do you want kids?", This is probably one of the most common story between couples when they're trying to work things out. So Chilli and I dived into this years long relationship that seemingly might not work out because their "family-goals" didn't align.

In this episode of Rye off React, Chilli and I actually dive into this wedding situationship where things took for the worse turn. Best friends for 18 years only to have one weekend to ruin things? What could be so bad? What is a breaking point and what happened when your friend is difficult get along and is the alpha all the way in a friendship? We find out (:

In this episode of Rye off the Bat, I decided to share this thought that came to my mind; "Think about what you’re going to do not what you would have done". I hopped onto recording straight, thinking of how it make sense to me then, as if like an epiphany, about how we actually have more control if we look forward instead of back.

In this awkward episode of Rye off React; Chilli and I discuss and dive into this seemingly "dumb" reason as mentioned by the OP of his girlfriend cheating on it. It might seem like any other cheating story, but diving in, we also noticed a variety of issues; from insecurities or self-sabotaging tendency where it might not have been addressing in a relationship. So what makes a relations...

After speaking to my doctor, I still am having some fatigue, especially the lack of motivation and finding myself struggling to stay awake in the day, which lead me to try switching up to taking Prozac at night. So far it's been a week plus in, and I find myself sleeping much better, as my mind tend to be less active and awake after taking prozac, instead of the supposed effect to be opposite.

In the 3rd part of our podcast, Chilli and I decided to read a short creepy-pastaish style kinda story about how they met this weird person which... turn out to be a creep and to be even hiding in her closet. Digging deeper there are infact creepy squatters that do this or even hid/live in houses like these. how creepy it actually is... let's find out (or not).

It was a hard podcast to make, I felt... oddly painful to be vulnerable in this one. I'd given up on the thought of love some time ago and digging deeper and asking myself why; I realized that I was in love the past version of my lovers, before they changed into someone else. Perhaps we had all grown and it was the time for us to part, perhaps it was the universe telling me that I have to lear...

In the part 2 of our Rye off React for Ghost stories; we read one that is much more relatable to Singaporean Males all around... Army. Nothing send more chills down my spine for Army Ghost Stories as I too have my own fair share and experience of it. So this one talks about the infamous Bouncy Betty, a myth that might have been around for awhile but comes with an unexpected twist.

In this episode, I decided to talk about the oblivion I have "made" for people whom I'd crossed paths with sometimes. The unforgettable ones, but also unloveable and unhateable. Perhaps they are a distant memory now and remembering them makes me feel... sad and hurt? But then again for them to exist seeming frozen in time also felt like a reminder of what I'd lost. For those who&...

It's 7th month in the time of our recording and we decided to try reading some horror stories instead! In this spine-chilling story we explore the horror of taking the last bus! Last bus usually runs close into midnight, with some running way pass it by the time you reach the other end of the route at the interchange. What happens if... for some last buses there are certain "special"...

In this episode of Rye off the Bat I talked about how I make sense of things... of why we met the same kind of lovers who treat us badly, why we meet the friends who don't appreciate us. Our lack of self-love is a hard thing to fix but stoicism always tells us about how we should focus on the locus of control; how we feel and sometimes you hurt them back, and sometimes they make you become a w...

In this episode with Chilli, we dive into daddy issues where the bride actually felt that her step-dad is more of a dad to her than her real dad. So what makes a parent a "parent figure"? And how do one deal when their child pick someone else to "recognize" as their parent figure instead?

Semi-fuzzy podcast talking about how I feel that we would always be loved whether we know it or not. Sometimes it's not up to us to pick who love us; or who do we love. But the only thing we can control is if we keep loving ourselves. Love ourselves not too much but enough to forgive ourselves, to understand our flaws, and know that we would always grow and become better.

In this hilarious episode of Rye of React, Chilli and I dive deep into.... something interesting as the Girlfriend of a 4 year relationship found out that her boyfriend has been freezing and collecting their pet dog's poop and may even have been racing her to clear the poop because of his collection habit. So what's this strange reason behind erratic behaviour? Let's find out

In this episode, we dive alittle deeper into my pretravel anxiety and why do I feel that way. Despite being a wanderlust, I hate "pre-travelling", from committing a period to travel and to doing several miscellaneous travel stuff. It could be as simple as planning, packing. Perhaps it is change that made me feel anxious, and it is a weird way; be it for better or worse; change always mak...

For this episode of Rye off React, we kick start into this situationship of an interracial BGR where the girlfriend didn't know that the family members of her boyfriend are seemingly racists. Being a woman of colour, and hearing them referring to her with the N word could not only be a shock, but also make her feel helpless. It was a tough topic to navigate. Its a topic that is very much relev...

By the time this podcast is out, I'm already at Hong Kong. This is a open letter to the traveller in me, from the first time to Hong Kong in 2015, and now 8 years later I'm back again. I wonder if the Hong Kong I knew was still the same, if the place that I hold so close to my heart, the language that pulled my heart strings (Cantonese), would always sooth the traveller's anxiety in me...
