Ever since I can remember, my family and I have been dogged by neighbour problems. It doesn’t matter where we move to, there will always be one (either on the left or the right, since most Malaysian homes are terrace houses) that drives us up the wall. Since we live for tea, here are my tales of nightmare neighbours: there’s actually so much to tell … Continue reading Nightmare Neighbours Vol.1
Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates – I think it’s been a week since I last posted anything. I’ve been quite busy with things… which is ironic, since I’m ‘unemployed’ right now. I left my old company about a month ago. Believe me, I’d have stayed if I could. I liked the job, it allowed me a lot of flexibility, and I had … Continue reading How I Spent July – Freelancing, Cooking, Keeping House and Being a Caretaker
Hey, guys! I was feeling really down yesterday because I went for a job interview and the boss was an unprofessional rude ass. Anyway, I went in all bright and cheery-eyed because the job advertised was for a writer/editor, and a topic I liked. My pitch even emphasised on ‘fun and dynamic’, which I’d like to think I am (at least, … Continue reading No.
I was upset about a friend today. Maybe she won’t be a friend anymore after today. If you’ve read my previous posts here and here, you’ll know why. Time and time again, I’ve hinted to her that it is not my job to do hers. And time and time again, she takes this help and friendship for granted. What the logical, INTJ side of me … Continue reading Again
As a (self-professed) INTJ, I’m very picky when it comes to friends (which is why I don’t have many!) But I’d like to think that the handful of close pals I have are those whom I can trust and share things with. I’m not a person who’ll go out of the way to do things for you, unless you’re family or a very close friend. … Continue reading Friend ?
“But it is not this day.” – Aragorn, Lord of the Rings I beg to differ. It is exactly one of those days. It feels like I spent the whole day being extremely unproductive. I’m still in the office, supposedly ‘working’, but I ended up procrastinating and opening WordPress instead. I actually went home and took a half hour nap after lunch (because I was goddamned … Continue reading Days Where You Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything
It’s a public holiday today! In fact, most of my peeps are enjoying a long weekend off, seeing as how Hari Raya (or Eid-al-Fitr) falls on Thursday and stretches away til Sunday. But meh. There are no such things as regular offdays for a journalist. The most one can hope for is to get off work earlier than usual. The office is pretty quiet compared … Continue reading When Relying on People Screws Up Your Plans
It was barely dawn when I woke up and was unable to fall back asleep. It was still dark outside. And quiet. Red was snoring gently next to me, his long lashes curling across his face. I sat up in the dim light of the room, my legs under the blankets. It was cold. I wanted to snuggle back into the covers, rub myself against … Continue reading Red
