Cyclical

It's pretty depressing when you realise the same shit is happening again. As much as I'd like to break the cycle, it always rounds back to the same (or similar) outcome. And then I know it's time to press the refresh button and purge the past. The cycles seem to get shorter as I mature. Maybe I get better at identifying the early signals and thus I start the purging process earlier than waiting until shit hits the fan.

In between

Many times I seem to be an outlier, not by choice but by circumstances. Slightly off centre, never entirely with the flow of the majority. But not too far off to be considered eccentric.

The year that was - 2018

I'm not a goal setting kind of person and I did not set any for last year. But in the course of events that unfolded, 2018 has been a challenging year (in a good way mostly).

Opportunity and Self Doubt

This week presented two very different situations of potential opportunities. For the first case, my gut feel tells me to beware and thread carefully. While the other case, my gut has a good feel on it but my head says the timing isn't right.

Season of Change

On 10th May 2018, a historical moment in Malaysian history was created. Pakatan Harapan, the opposition coalition, won the 14th General Elections.

What's New? A reluctance to change

Things have been happening too fast. It's already approaching March and I've been appointed as the named cosec for a week,  although I'm still on my CNY break.

New Year Shake Up

Just when I thought I had reached my comfort cloud, a crack of thunder occurs. Promising a bumpy ride for 2018.

Baking Experiments: Gingerbread Men

I had taken more than a week off to clear my annual leave and since I was accidentally so broke in November & December, I could not plan a trip anywhere. So I started thinking of things to accomplish during my leave (so that it isn't a total waste) and one of them was to bake something.

To sum up 2017

It's the penultimate day of the year and a lot has happened in 2017, especially in the past two months. I'm not sure if this is a characteristic of aging, but time has been flying past really really fast lately. And every day in my last working week felt like a week in itself with insufficient time to complete what I had planned for the day.

Raya weekend and the impressionable experiences

While our Muslim friends celebrate Hari Raya, the rest of the nation joins in the festivities with a good long weekend of rest. The upside of being in Malaysia is the holidays we have for our multi-cultural society and at the same time learn about other cultures and practices.
