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...

"I MISS TRAVELLING ... "

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...

SO I'VE BEEN TOLD ...

Book Description

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 reading and writing for my personal fun. (Work is different, though.) I hate to admit that … I’m not too happy about this.

I know, I know. Work is important. We all need to pay the bills. These days are hard, especially after the pandemic.

Call me stubborn, but I refuse to give up my dreams. I still want to make a decent living from writing. I am now a freelance ghostwriter. That is just one of the jobs I have these days. It helps me to get by.

I’m also an English teacher. I love this job too. It gives me a sense of purpose in life. I can get some students to like reading and writing too. (Some, not all. I’m just being realistic.)

Still, writing has always been my true love. With these scattered thoughts and busy schedules, I have to beat the odds.
