One week has passed after the 14th Malaysian General Election. Life just goes on as normal, but I have a lot of things to express, from my thoughts of the current politics and also sadly, how I left a whatsapp group because of differing views. I will try to break this down. 1. New Government […]

Dear you
Photo by Kat J on Unsplash I wish I can share with you personally but I know I can’t reach your level. And while people just treat me for who I am, but I am the lowest in your hierarchy just because I am not useful for anyone. I want to let you know that you can grief […]
Farewell, Pumpkin
Photo by Thomas Millot on Unsplash The picture above is not the picture of my old car. I took some of the photos and it wasn’t great but do it to have some memories of it. Why I chose this image? Because the colour is the closest to my car, which I called it “Pumpkin.” Last Saturday, I […]
Emotionally healthy spirituality – Grieving for the loss

Being myself means: Being a semi-intellectual. Sometimes I try to tone that down when I am with others but when someone takes things […]
Emotionally healthy spirituality
Photo by Kinga Cichewicz on Unsplash So I have completed reading ‘Emotionally healthy spirituality.’ I liked the angle Peter Scazzero took to wrote this book. He wrote about how we cannot be spiritually mature when emotionally we never matured. In the whole reductionist and simplistic summary of this book, you can do all the Christian activities and claim […]
Asleep
Photo by ANMOL on Unsplash Last weekend I attended a workshop on depression and mental disorder and how as Christian we can deal with this. While it is a good initiative to make Christians in Malaysia, but it is also it shows how much as Malaysians do not know about this based on the questions Malaysians ask to […]
Reframing: My masters is my personal journey of discovery
Photo by Nik Shuliahin on Unsplash Happy new year and it’s March! I realised that I have a lot of things to write, but I end up not writing them. That’s because: I like to process my thoughts first before writing. I did try to write as free like dayre (that is closing down soon) but I like […]
