In unchronological point forms, this is what I’ve done this month ever since I returned from Melbourne and Brunei: – met up with the u8 gang at two Friday night mamak sessions at Tanjung. The first on the 15th was a small group with Jon, Ding, and Wai Hong (where we eventually returned to Jon’s [...]

Sunday, 3rd January 2010 Invariably all of us were rudely woken up by my handphone’s alarm to How I Met Your Mother’s theme song at 5am, but as I was sleeping on the top bunk above Estee (and the double decker bed does not have a ladder, so climbing in complete darkness seems foolish), so [...]

Saturday, 2nd January 2010 Despite telling fellow road trippers to wait at the Southern Cross Station, in front of Hungry Jack’s, at 7.30am sharp, I managed to wake up at 5am, turned off my alarm and fell asleep, then woke up again at 7.40am when Esther rang me up. fml. I was seized with a [...]

I never thought this departure would rattle me, but it did. My entire 5 days in Brunei was pleasant and entertaining thanks to Desmond for the most gracious hospitality I’ve ever encountered—something I was very surprised for as his dad insisted on paying for all of my meals—and his friend Pei Yi, who accompanied us [...]

Still swirling within that vast spectrum of emotions, I had some final arrangements done to my room: the professional steam cleaner from FastTrack (a wog I believe) dropped by at 7.30am sharp. I had to help him carry some heavy artillery (I exaggerate) to begin that steam cleaning process, which involves spraying liquid on my [...]

I cling and uncling to what I’m about to exit. I’ve begun packing most of my belongings—mostly apparel and souvenirs—on Monday, a day after I returned from my Great Southern Touring Route trip with Esther, Esther’s aunt, and Estee, and I felt ready to leave. But as usual my heart oscillates between a rank sadness [...]

I was in front of my laptop at about 8.45pm on New Year’s Eve when I heard my name being yelled from outside my window. Sliding it open, I discovered Ivan literally right in between the birth of a storm, him breathlessly talking about a beautiful sight of a low-hanging moon. “This is crazy,” I [...]
