About

This website was officially created on 20 December 2010 but I have been blogging on and off since my early school days. It underwent a design overhaul in October 2015 and another update again in June 2020.

A full-time journalist in the local mediascape, my other interests include my rodent pets, reading over a hundred books per year, eating, travelling, binge-watching horror movies, and getting emotionally attached to fictional characters.

Why twiinklex?

There is no exciting tale behind my online moniker other than I used to be in the typical tween phase and used ‘twiinkle’ for all my usernames. Then my Twitter account got hacked and I couldn’t retrieve it nor the username, so I simply added an ‘x’ behind ‘twiinkle’ and as they say, the rest is history.

How you do you pronounce twiinklex?

Contrary to popular belief, it is simply pronounced ‘twinkle’. The ‘x’ is silent and serves no other purpose as explained above.

Why rainbow sheep?

I love rainbows and I love sheep and then it kinda stuck.

What kind of blog is this? Food, travel, lifestyle?

None of the above. It is simply somewhere for me to (sometimes over-)share bits of my life in the form of photos, thoughts, pop culture references and fangirling.

What cameras are the photos here taken with?

Mostly my iPhone unless otherwise specified.

How old are you / where are you from / where do you live?

I would tell you but then I’ll have to kill you.
