so @sza is one of my fav new acts atm, and her music is dope, and so is the whole 'ctrl' album. wanted to do something simple so i decided to do a small cover of 'the weekend'. ps. it actually forms a perfect loop bc it goes right back into the pre-chorus. youtu.be/Oai-_sNh6vM

@liyana_hs the honest truth is that most people who talk a big game in school never end up actually being high flyers when they start work because that takes so much more than just ambition. don’t let em get to ya— everything that’s meant to be will be. :-)

@KaiyingLow i think that fertility advertisement is so weird and random to have on public transport lmao what.

@lioneltyh i look like a lost samurai in a bandana.
