FIRST BLOT


I once believed that I love writing that’s why I’ve been the editor in chief of the school newspaper for about 6 years. I also dream of being a writer of Cosmo Or Chalk magazine since I adore them so much back in the days (I have the stash of collections back at home). Magazines are my comfort reads since I learn new stuffs from them.

Then I turn to school books (im a nerd). Then novels and I stack my entire reading haul to read during summer and school break. Then read ‘em all when I passed the board exams.
I love reading so that I can tell stories too.

Then life happens… meddling with life and work and work and life. I became a stone, lifeless (somehow), robotic (perhaps), and went around circles of my own little world. These went on, until lately life started to crawl back up to me. I feel a heartbeat, and I breath long and hard.

This is my way back to my first love, to something I forgot, something I set aside but somehow it keeps coming back to me in times like this.

Day 1 Excited and all, everyone woke up early. We had our free breakfast which consisted of toast and coffee. We discovered Singapore’s Kaya here.

( don’t misunderstand we are not picky we just want to eat everything hahaha).  We rested for a while and waited there until the Singapore Tourist Pass office at Farrer Park station opened. We purchased our 3 day pass and went to out next destination – Bugis. It was raining when we arrived at Bugis, but the One Dollar Ice cream lifted our spirit. We tasted various flavors and I could say that all were...

After Dark by Haruki Murakami

For the first time I don't want to read a review of a book. Foe people who knew me, I would often ask what happen in a certain movie or book. I wanted to know the ending, I don't care being spoiled of he story. But Murakami's work made me change sides. After reading "after dark" I totally fell in love with his wordplay. I wanted to read all of his books first hand. This is so not me. I tend to read reviews, synopsis, and plots so that I'll have a gauge of the story is about, and I want to know the ending before reading a book. (really mental right?) But I change for the better, suddenly I want that feeling of excitement, and wonder what will happen. I finished "After Dark" in one sitting  because it triggered my intellectual curiosity. It has the right blend of suspense, comedy, budding love story, family issue, and everything that me turn the page non- stop. I admire Murakami for his work and made me hate myself for reading his books only no...
