Grasp of Wind


Kodaline, was the common first discovery.
Peeping at his radio tracks, and the songs goes...
-- All i want, is The one, with High hopes that, Love will set us free.

The midnight oil nights with notes and tutorials,
calculator and law,
reckon Red Bull would keep us awake.

In his fast car, singing to the tunes we know.
He said if there's a guessing songs name competition he would win.
Navigating the road we're heading, turn right but I'd always say left.
My sense of direction, definitely isn't the best thing.
Talking about our future in bits of a puzzle,
and all the absolute things we could talk on.

Got out from this small town of ours, to the city we dreamed of.
Three months, felt like I know this person better.
Japanese food is his top picks, and I'm a real badass when it comes to food.
Likely to sharpen a person's patience with my eating speed.
But he's the sweetest for waiting over the table.

Too bad,
he said he doesn't like to make anyone wait on him for something,
but I'm the exception.
He made me want to be a better person,
but underestimated on what I could do.

Never met a fickle-mind quite like his.
It was hard to decide which car scent smells good, which scissor cuts better.


-"Did you feel any regret for coming over in the city?"
"No."
"Me too."

It took me a while to get here, maybe even longer than it should have.

I hope you'll find what you're looking for.

An Apology Letter to Myself

Dear Sheryl,  I would like to dedicate this letter to you, for the times I've chosen to ignore and deny how you really feel inside, for the times I thought you'd be fine to handle yourself by sweeping everything to a corner. You've kept it all inside trying to act strong at most part, that I did not realised those act from triggers were manic episodes, slow steps that could have lead to the misery deep hole of depression. I'm sorry for not placing you and your happiness on priority lane among everything that I do, think, or decide on with.  I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult spot for yourself, that I made you stuck at the past with endless re-runs of memories that has ended - it had consumed most of you silently that made it worst.  I'm sorry for always giving you second thoughts with what-ifs, and focusing on what you solely wants to hear (lying to myself) even though that is not how it should be.  Just because you wanted to hear "yes" as the an...

Life Goes On

If anybody would wonder how I have been so far...  Been living life at its most, thinking about the many different experiences that I’ve yet to get to.  Just came back from my tioman trip with my friends and brother. The lovely clear ocean, the sound of waves, the hiking, the waterfall, the bumpy road drive, and most importantly the gather and bond connection we had together through nature with almost zero wifi connection, was simply wonderful.  The ferry ride back was a very remarkable one. We did not expect a storm at all, and so the boat was super rocky and painful. We sat right at the first row of seat, were happy about the extra legroom... just didn't expect the storm and a rocky boat part at all. The front rows are usually the rockiest anyone can feel! Held in tightly to not vomit, two of my friends gave in.  And funnily in that rocky moment, a sudden realisation came into me. That I am doing exactly as what someone has told me once before that... life goes on....

Yugen

So this Covid-19 pandemic hit has made me come back to this space again. Malaysia has entered its third phase (the sixth week) of movement control order. It is an uncertain time, and until the next government announcement this movement control order decision to be lifted or extended will only be known. For the past 5 weeks of partial lockdown, work is still as usual for me as fnb is an essential service. It’s only half a day in the office to settle some work to get things going, so it’s pretty alright with myself.  Regardless, I had a lot of time to myself after work are settled. I binged watch on movies and dramas that I missed, cried a lot with k-dramas, been cooking a lot and then amazes with myself when the dishes turn out better than expected, well I’m also on my bed most of the time hahahah. In between of those things, I take pauses to gather thoughts and to reflect upon. Looking right out to the sky through this big piece of window in my room with my earphone on, c...
