It was my wedding anniversary on the 1st of September.
I spent a total of 3 minutes with my Gin.
I rushed into the house at 7.57am after a night of intense shooting, smelling terrible and looking even worse.
“Hi honey, happy anniversary, I need to use the loo.”
We were both rushing.
2 minutes later I scrambled back to [...]

At about 11pm every night, just as the other patients are falling into a deep sleep, Susan would get out of bed and start making a racket.
She would walk up and down the halls in the ward, talk to people, disrupt the work of nurses and prevent the ill from a restful recovery sleep. Her [...]

Why are so many of my friends separating, some just a year or two after getting married?!
So I’ve got this theory.
The generality of people I know live for themselves. Herein lies the tragedy lies.
We want to develop ourselves, educate ourselves, so we can take care of ourselves, pamper ourselves, accumulate for ourselves, ensure security for [...]

I am not trying to time this with any significant event in our country or the world’s history.
I know many people are lamenting about the fate of the world. Today, more people just happen to be lamenting in Malaysia.
It’ll pass.
We’ll adapt.
Life will settle into some form of fluxing-stupor again.

Sometimes, the world can change faster than we think, no?

The words above are but some of the accusations being hurled at these friends and their communities.
Today, all those in the picture above are going to be put on trial by an extremist regime trying to systematically exterminate the Baha’i community in Iran.

He was the sniffly, oily haired, hunch-backed boy in my film class. Out of place amongst the coolians (like yours truly of course, ahem) but there was a prawn behind the stone (ada udang di sebalik batu)…
I was exiting the cinema one night after watching an obscure art film when I terserempak with a familiar [...]

I am moving out.
Exactly 1 year ago Gin and I moved into this, our first home together.
Gin was lamenting about how very few photographs were taken here. There is almost no evidence at all of the many good times we shared with the friends and family.
