Orange and Purple and Blue

I love watching sunset. Feels like time is slowing down. It’s fleeting and mesmerizing. The oranges and dark purples and blues overlapping each other in a way that you know that nobody but God could make something so beautiful. It is  a reminder that after a long day, however bad it is, there is something […]

Kopi Siew Dai

So this is what you get from 2 cups of coffee and 3 milk tea. It’s 12:53 in the morning. I’m at my hotel room. Wide awake. Discovery Channel is playing “Sabah Earthquake Decoded” which I have watched earlier. My thoughts are still racing with issues I have to fix tomorrow at work. My head […]

I Am Not Sleeping Tonight

It started calm and peaceful. Silently sitting on a corner. Then something crossed your mind. Everything is overwhelming. Overload of information. Too many choices. You’re now convinced that the worst case scenario will be happening. You know the right answer. You know what to choose. You know you can do it. But dissatisfaction fuels you. […]

Alone in Bali

When I went to Bali alone for  few days, everybody’s question was the same. “Who are you with?”. “Alone? Aren’t you scared?”. “You’re meeting someone there aren’t you?”. It has been my dream to come and visit Bali so I booked,planned and saved for this in months. Reading and researching which places to go, where to […]

I Need To Pee

A girl was standing before me on a line last night. Long brown hair. Not tall but not short. She was wearing a blue jumpsuit. The fabric actually looks like denim from afar but it isn’t. Behind her I was wondering how I would look in one. Will it be flattering or will I look sloppy? But what concerned […]

Rain Rain

The clouds must be very sad. It’s been crying for days. Like it kept all its emotions for a very long time. All bottled up inside. Then one day everything just got too much to handle. All defenses broke down and so the clouds cried broken and helpless. It’s still raining. Just like yesterday, I am watching the raindrops race on my […]

Self-Rescuing Princess

She needs no Fairy Godmother to be pretty. Nor a Prince Charming to wake her up into reality. She doesn’t need a wish-granting genie. She’s unceasingly diligent in pursuit of her ambitions. Because she’s a self-rescuing princess. She sometimes cries her self to sleep. Put on a smiling face when she wakes. She doesn’t need […]

Catch My Breath

My legs are pricked by a thousand needles. All at the same time. My arms are tired from flailing back and forth. My lungs had never been full and empty at once. I am gasping like a fish out of the water. My heart pattered. Going boom-badoom boom as Nicki Minaj sang. My eyes are […]
