Lost in Buckeye Land. The world according to Miss Keesh. Sunday, January 3, 2016. Top 10 Memories for 2015. Once again, my annual list of top 10 memories for the previous year in no particular order:. I passed my candidacy examination! For those of you outside of academia (and count your blessing that you are), the candidacy exam is the last major exam you take as a PhD student before you can are allowed to write your dissertation. You can read more about my experience HERE. As I wrote in this post.

Lost in Buckeye Land. The world according to Miss Keesh. Thursday, December 17, 2015. Wow it has been a loooooooong time since I last updated my blog, and caught up with other people's blogs. Oops! Sorry, the semester passed like a whirlwind, and I was (and still am) caught in it. I'm in the middle of grading the final examination essays that my students submitted, so I don't have time to do a long update, so FYI. 1) I will update soon! Once the semester is over. So much to share! View my complete profile.

Lost in Buckeye Land: Re-exploring Pulau Ubin
http://lostinbuckeyeland.blogspot.com/2016/06/re-exploring-pulau-ubin.html
Lost in Buckeye Land. The world according to Miss Keesh. Saturday, June 25, 2016. I was extremely blessed to receive funding from the U.S. federal government to conduct dissertation research in Singapore. However, one of the conditions is that I cannot leave Singapore during the period of funding, which means I'm landlocked on this tiny island until September. As much as I love Singapore, it can get a little claustrophobic being "trapped" in this bustling urban city. Bye bye mainland Singapore! I've been...

Lost in Buckeye Land. The world according to Miss Keesh. Sunday, December 11, 2016. I started writing my dissertation! Thought I should record this "landmark." Took me about 3 weeks to write the first chapter, which provides a quick overview about the history of Singapore. *Sigh* I can foresee that writing the more complicated later chapters is going to be a MAJOR PAINFUL and AWFULLY SLOW process. I'm not kidding when I say I'm a very slow writer because I take forever. Chapter 1 is sent to my committee!

Lost in Buckeye Land. The world according to Miss Keesh. Thursday, February 18, 2016. Merger of Two Loves. So the Superbowl dropped a new Independence Day: Resurgence trailer. Let me confess that the original Independence Day film is super cheesy, but *gulp* it is one of my favorite movies. Not just because I'm born on Independence Day (happy birthday to both me and USA! But well, it has all the elements of a fun, no-brainer summer blockbuster movie. And I still get *good feels* whenever I hear that.

Lost in Buckeye Land: November 2016
http://lostinbuckeyeland.blogspot.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
Lost in Buckeye Land. The world according to Miss Keesh. Wednesday, November 9, 2016. I grieve over the election of the Donald Trump as president, not because of the fact that he won the presidency but because of what it revealed to me about the American citizenry. For the first time in my life, I feel unsafe in America. I hoped that these would be isolated incidents of hate and discrimination, and that the vast silent majority of Americans condemned these crimes. Trump was the lesser of two evils;.

Lost in Buckeye Land: Rainbow Hair
http://lostinbuckeyeland.blogspot.com/2016/09/rainbow-hair.html
Lost in Buckeye Land. The world according to Miss Keesh. Sunday, September 11, 2016. I've wanted to dye my hair purple for the longest time, and decided that, what the heck, I should do it for my 30th birthday (are you sensing how havoc I've become since entering a new decade of life? Hahahaha). Plus, I saw a picture of Katy Perry with dark purple hair and fell in love. You have to admit her hair looks GOOD! I sent this Ah Lian. Especially that streak of pink-purple near the top. The one and only pic we ...

Lost in Buckeye Land. The world according to Miss Keesh. Sunday, May 1, 2016. Siem Reap 2015 Part I. I've been meaning to post this since forever. Ago, but I get "dizzy" whenever I looked through pictures and videos taken of the trip because there are TOO MANY of them. But I've finally sorted them, and my word, looking through them brought back wonderful memories. This was the first trip my entire family has taken together in 8 years! We decided to take my sisters there. It is located near the major tour...

Lost in Buckeye Land. The world according to Miss Keesh. Thursday, March 17, 2016. When healing does NOT come. Just read one of the most beautiful blog posts about faith-in-crisis, and hope you enjoy it as well. When God Doesn't Show Up. I feel SO RELIEVED that someone has finally shared about their time when they felt NOTHING about spiritually and still stuck through it, and in the end, came out stronger for it. For this is what I've gone through. I know what it means to hunger and thirst for any. Artis...
