Spine
Every note on this shelf, sorted by when I wrote it rather than by topic. I find that more honest than pretending the entries belong to neat categories — a walk under the flyover and a night near Chin Swee sit in different registers, but they share the same spine of evenings and ordinary routes through Bishan.
The grouping below is simple: pieces written in the same week as something significant, and pieces written much later when the light had changed. Nothing here is ranked. The card for the Chin Swee note looks like every other card because that is what it is — one entry among several, placed at the root URL only because that is where a visitor might land first.
