It’s the Chinese New Year break and took a trip up to Langkawi to wind down. It’s been a while since I spent time on a island and actually going out to the sea. I used to do island trips quite a lot when I was younger in my uni days with both my school and uni hommies – almost every semester break. Just the smell of the sea and lazing around at the beach (despite the hot sun) is therapy – it’s pretty awesome. I can swim but can’t actually float due to my trauma of almost drowning during...
While me and Ruzain were doing our usual afternoon exercise routine, I had a sudden throwback moment as I watched him walk during our small outdoor walk round, which he calls jogging and when we were doing our three piece exercise relay. Three things came to mind. First: I’m thankful for how much more stable Ruzain is – he still has his moments but lesser in intensity and frequency. I also know how much he tries to control it though at times still fails. Such a journey, a beautiful one nevertheless. Second: I suddenly remembered the moments where he hurt...
Last week definitely felt long, and tiring. I’m actually struggling to write any highlights of the week. I was constantly finding ways to rush and survive through certain hours of the days – some of it felt really long. Among the best moments were actually the breaks in between, also lunch, dinners and hang out sessions with my favorite people. At least I got that. It made me think and reflect about a lot of things. I’ve come to realize that its those moments I enjoy a lot and probably that truly matters. The other stuff happening are just part...
I should try and make it a habit to regularly write. 2023 should be a different year. The thing is could not find the right mood to do it – had tonnes of stuff on my mind. Actually, do I? Last Friday’s do took a lot out of me. We had some “high ranking” bosses in town on Thursday and Friday. I could swallow Thursday but Friday made me realize that there are things that I just can’t reconcile and be ok with. So by end of the day, I was exhausted and it took me the weekend to sort...
Its the third day of the new year. 2023 still hasn’t really sink in. Still trying to find the rhythm to start the new year on a higher note but honestly I’m still on holiday mood (that’s what I tell myself). But I then need to be fair to the world as even Ruzain already started his new year by going to school. Although not without his usual stunt of not sleeping; either as an act of rebellion or just anxious – really don’t know which is which anymore. Of course I’m the usual casualty. Not even sure how many...
