Since my last entry on lockdown life, I’ve got into a good stay-home routine that’s also mighty productive. I began my May with a staff breakfast over Zoom, with a meal package delivered to our home (single-serving, airline style) from my day job in Subang Jaya. For another freelance job with a Singapore agency, IContinue reading “Reviewing my May & June 2020”
Reviewing my March & April 2020
I may have mentioned the word ‘quarantine’ a little too ominously in my previous post, Wawasan 2020 (I), saying that I hoped March would be a quiet quarantined month. Little did I realise that my wish would come true; on 18 March 2020 the government declared a movement control order (MCO), a partial lockdown ofContinue reading “Reviewing my March & April 2020”

Wawasan 2020 (I)
It’s Wawasan 2020; a new decade and a new year, so here’s a review of what’s been going on. I had been having a very stressful last quarter of 2019, rushing out a book manuscript et al with other freelance work deadlines. It was so stressful that I had dreams of being punched in theContinue reading “Wawasan 2020 (I)”
The Last of 2019
I’d forgotten to review the last half of 2019 since my last post in August, where I’d just come back from a Merdeka weekend holiday to Sri Lanka. I had a very busy last half of the year, with work that was never-ending that I’d wish would stop. So here’s what went down in September,Continue reading “The Last of 2019”
Films & Books 2019
In 2019, I watched a total of eight films in the cinema and read a total of 37 books. The author I read most was Patricia Highsmith, as I had tried to complete buying all her books on Book Depository. This year I read many classics and plays, and I particularly enjoyed my Shakespeares andContinue reading “Films & Books 2019”
Di atas katil
Sebuah cerpen Bahasa Melayu yang ditulis oleh kawanku, Mei 2017. — Matahari sudah lama meninggi walhal Fiona masih tidur lena dibuai mimpi pada pagi Isnin itu. Kakinya terkangkang dalam posisi yang agak aneh di atas tilam yang empuk dilapik cadar Ikea yang berwarna oren garang dan bercorak petak-petak. Dengkuran Fiona jelas kedengaran dalam suasana biliknyaContinue reading “Di atas katil”
August: Puchong Jaya
August was a month filled with food and socials. They included a meetup with an old classmate for Hokkien Mee @ Uptown Damansara and desserts at Shugatori, a surprise birthday @ Whup Whup in SS13, a neighbour’s aqiqah baby shower and an after-dinner fruit party. I also discovered a co-working space called Nomad in SS18,Continue reading “August: Puchong Jaya”
