Hi there. Welcome to my blog! My name is Tiara and I'm from a small island, 1° north of the equator, called Singapore! I've always found documenting my life in written/picture form important so as to memorialise these experiences — I have the memory span of a goldfish.

I'm a very opinionated twenty-one year old and I enjoy watching tv shows, horror movies and listening to music of all genres.

I've always blogged about my personal life and experiences (ie. rants, reviews, travel highlights et cetera) but this year, I hope to update more consistently and I aim to focus my posts more on self-improvement, social issues and my fitness journey!

I hope you enjoy your stay here at TiaraTalks!

You can find me on my other social media at

With love,

What is it about really hot showers that make them so therapeutic? I still feel like shit, but slightly better after the shower, I guess. Anyway, I just feel really aimless right now. I really want to find a job so I can feel more productive and get money, I guess. My qualifications? Hmmm I have an O Level certificate, I'm done with A Levels and I have never worked before and I don't mind working weekends. $8/hr or more, preferably? I don't know what to work as, I guess I don't mind anything. I'm more than halfway through the book I'm currently reading. I'm at Page 614 and I really like it. I'm also almost finishing Modern Family haha just slightly over a season left and I'd have caught up with real-time episodes. 

I've been thinking about how important money is. I used to never worry, until I started buying things. It would be awesome if I had access to my bank account, but the amount of money I have in that is tragically small. I have lesser money than my little sister, for goodness' sake. And about university, I've dreamt forever to study overseas because I can't stand a minute longer here in Singapore. But turns out, I can't afford it. University for locals is heavily subsidised and if I were to go overseas I'd be a foreigner and I'd have to pay over $40k per year? That's a total of $160k for four years, excluding expenditure & accommodation. It's crazy how expensive everything is. Life is slightly easier for people with money, and for people without - it's crazy hard. I wonder how my A Levels results would be. I thought my O Levels results were gonna be bad. I got an L1R5 of 27 for Prelims in 2012 I think. So I thought my actual results wouldn't be any better, but I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at my grades. I shan't expect the same for A Levels though, it's definitely different. There's no way I would have jumped 6 grades like I did in a few subjects. Next thing is what I want to do in the future. I still don't know, it's ridiculous. I wish I could just run away, live someplace new. I just really wish I weren't here, I need to escape this. I just wish I had the money. Fuck money.

Hm I've been wanting to update for awhile, and I wanted to change my layout a little, but who knows? I've been finding it really hard to just blog.

Nabs brought up Queensland again. I really wish I could go. I could've been in Gold Coast right now with Sid and Eli, if my dad had let me when I asked a month or two ago. And Nabs asked about Queensland and dad said no again. I just don't understand why not. It's not dangerous, there'd be adults, I'd have fun. Now I'm just stuck at home, reading or watching tv.

Well, um here's some pictures. I went to India in December 2014.
