Retrouvailles – a short story

There's something there amidst the quiet. I can see it but I can't reach it and I'm afraid to. I see it there, in the distance. I'm not sure if I should approach it. It's at the corner of my eye. It's just there, constant in the silence. Just waiting patiently for me. I shouldn't…

When I wake up…

I have a set of routine or mental checklist that I have to go through. As soon as my alarm rings (after snoozing it a few times), I have to do this to truly feel awake and ready to start my day. It's kind of soothing to have a routine because it makes me feel…

I’m scared of my imagination

Do you ever overthink things? Worry about being worried about something? Worry about something that hasn't happened? Well, that's me. The overthinker I call myself. I worry about being chased. Being alone. Being trapped. I'm afraid of the dark. Or as a friend once told me, I'm afraid of what's in the dark. My imagination…

Fading reality – a poem

As she wakes, a voice calls out; Visions blurry and mind unclear, She begins to reach out with her hand Only to grasp nothing as she lie awake Fragments of dreams dancing in her mind Yet the more she tries, the more elusive it becomes.   Waking up and feeling lost, Vague images flashes in…

Now playing: Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition

I've always been a hardcore fan of video games and Square Enix has never let me down. The animation and the music keeps getting better and better; and I love the Final Fantasy games. I don't own a PS4 or an Xbox so I thought that I wouldn't get a chance to be able to…

Songs I’m currently listening to

Recently my music choices have somewhat been largely influenced by Timothée Chalamet. Don't judge me. I'm weak and only human. *hides* Black Panther also has an entire album of awesomeness, so there's that too. Salute to you, Kendrick Lamar! My playlist for now: Go Legend (& Metro Boomin) - Big Sean, Travis Scott I Forgot -…

Gratitude

I've been feeling really down lately and thinking about what's going to happen in the future. Basically worrying about things that I can't control. So I thought that instead of being stuck in this loop of negativity, I'll just make a list of the things that I have and am grateful for. 1 - I…

Back to Hell

So okay, I know I'm late but in my defense, I had to travel and then I had to study for an exam. Travel where? Well, I was actually on a short break and now I'm back to my university. Which absolutely sucks. Thank God, that it's my last semester. 2 more months to freedom.…

Asian Problems

So I'm Asian, specifically Malaysian. I've been having a hard time trying to please my family due to the expectations that they have of me. I'm currently studying Biomedical Science. I mean, it's great and all, but it's not exactly what I would have chosen for myself. You see, the problem with most Chinese families…

BAFTAs 2018

So the awards happened while I was sleeping. Hate this pesky thing called time zones. But oh well, time to gush. So I woke up this morning to an explosion on Twitter about the BAFTA results and what's trending. For those of you who don't know what BAFTAs is, it stands for the British Academy…
