I’m not sure how I’ve been feeling lately. It’s the end-of-the-year holiday again. I don’t feel like celebrating anything. I even canceled going to Yogyakarta for my office outing. Why? I’m exhau...

This has nothing to do with being ungrateful. We have our daily routines. We often do what we love and repeat them. However, there are times we may feel bored. We need to do something else, somet...

No, she’s not just asleep. She’s not even fainted. Can’t you tell that she’s already dead? It takes more than countless tries to shake her awake.. You can’t even make her snap out of it. How long...

Okay, so last March was the very first time I attended a rock concert after the Covid-19 pandemic. (I LOVE HOOBASTANK!) I realised just how much I missed doing a lot of outdoor things I used to f...

Okay, did I say that I had two weeks of Eid Mubarak? How time flies. Now I feel that it’s still not enough. I know, I know. I’m not supposed to be complaining about this. It’s still so much bette...

---

Well, this year was our family’s turn to host the Eid Mubarak Feast this year. With great pride, I can tell you that Mom and Brother had done most of the great hard work. Shopping, cooking, clean...

I’m welcoming Eid Mubarak Holiday. The next two weeks will be quite a breather for me – a break from work. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s going to be all play and sleep – and no other work at ...

Okay, so who attended Everblastfest 2023 from March 4 – 5 last weekend? I hope you did and you got the chance to see my favourite band, Hoobastank, who performed at 10 pm last night. I know. I ha...

I’m sure many of us have already got stories about getting infected by the virus. I know both my siblings have caught it twice, once in the past couple of years. My two oldest nephews caught it o...

---

Scattered thoughts and busy schedules. These two dominate my life these days. Mind you, this is not a complaint. It is what it is and as it is. So I’ve been struggling to find some time for readi...

---

For me, being 41 means having seen a lot more than I sometimes really want to know. It means having heard stuff that I can’t always put up with – yet I have to either keep quiet about it or speak...

“Seriously? Are you so lonely that you need to do that? Where are your friends anyway?” Some people may think that the moment they read the title above. Why bother? Aren’t random strangers creepy...

---

As cliche as this sounds, I agree with the notion that we tend to take so many things for granted. We often forget that nothing lasts forever. Everything may change at any second. Anything goes. ...

---

This stage should not be skipped, yet many often get past it, in the name of love from another in hopes, the one will stick around longer, if not forever. I’ve made that stupid mistake of loving ...

---

I think I’m deteriorating, but I find myself not caring. Should I be worried? Should I call for help? Should I just keep quiet and let it pass when it does? I mean, I know it always passes. I jus...

---

Have I been stuck in my deep-dark slumber? Still, my conscience is frayed by their distant, calls of prayer. Wake me up, let me not sleep without, ‘though I sometimes still find myself awake in a...

It’s a huge thank you to all of you, Dearest Elders In The Family, Peaceful-Loving Cousins too for having finally seen us through. First of all, thank you for not wondering why we’re so fat and s...

---

There’s nothing to declare about my oh-so-boring life lately. Every day is mostly the same: get up, work, go about my day, write, watch TV or listen to music or podcast at night, sleep, and repea...

All hopes are lost The last bit of oxygen’s out They say you’ll never return This is officially your final mission So, the vast ocean has claimed you There’s nothing left for us to do Some may st...

---

Okay, I admit that I’ve been triggered by an old episode of “CSI: NY” that I’d recently watched. The rerun was Season 7, Episode 17. Long story short, Detective Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) and his t...

---

Oh, how we long for you to be returning home, still healthy after having sailed away leaving us waiting by the bay. The vast ocean hasn’t shown any signs that you’re still around. We refuse to ge...

---

Wait a minute. What does this mean? Why do I start with this whole ‘taking the baits’ thing? Am I a fish or something? Of course, in this case, taking bait can mean a lot of things. It can mean s...

---

I am way past that envy or that so-called jealousy. Just a silent observer to the oblivious or ignorant to the fact that we’re all different and the universe always has a way to randomly pick you...
