Improvement

How do you improve your own writing? How do you get more versatile?

Gosh, I love being an artist.

1-Malaysia

Happy Merdeka, fellow Malaysians!

Proud to be Malaysian! 

In the end, in spite of all the politics, the whatever-lah attitude (which can be both annoying and endearing), the racial slights that arise from over-focusing on differences, Malaysia's got a warmth that can't be found anywhere else. This is the one place where, if this land were a glove, it'd fit me like a second skin. 

Long live Bangsa Malaysia!

Also, The Star has got some pretty good articles today, so check them out. Some interesting food for thought.

The Coffee Writer ...

... because that's how I've always envisioned myself writing. The cheapest cup of coffee on the menu, a seat in a local coffee shop (not Starbucks, thank you very much), and a laptop on which I can work my magic.

In many ways, envisioning your future involves a vision of your whole lifestyle. You'll want a career all right, but the lifestyle that comes with it always plays a major factor. I think I'd like journalism, and I also think it can be very fake. Ruthless, hardening, backstabbing.

Maybe it ain't nothing like that. Hopefully.

Penang Trip

Thanks you guys! You know you rock :)

I'm hoping to remember all the little details this time. Like, the way Sarah printed out two copies of the itinerary, or how Gitz eats very often with her family at Bangkok Lane (and the way her family orders separately, 'tanpa kerang', 'tanpa siput', 'chilli lebih'), or the way Steph and Anna squash into Sarah in the middle of the night, or how Anna drives with only one hand.

Awesome-ness.

CONGRATULATIONS!

TO MY LITTLE SISTER!

Well done. And have a blessed year ahead :)

Toothache

My wisdom is driving me insane.

Young Again

I feel like a little girl again. Truth be told, it feels pretty dang good :)

For the rest of your life

What do you know? I've been envisioning the rest of my life. It never seemed relevant before - like, the future was always only within a 3-year period, and anything longer than that would be old age. But it's kind of enlightening to know about this other range of experiences one can possibly undergo, and it gets me excited!

There's a whole life to build, girl. A whole lifetime.

Dad says I'm stubborn. That I got that from both him and mum. Just thought it'd be notable to mention since it's the tagline of this blog.

Did I mention a whole life? And a sure adventure if we'd just ... wing it XD
