So I’ve beaten my record last year of reading 36 books. In 2017, I read 44 books – four by Veronica Roth, three by Patricia Highsmith, three by Gillian Flynn and another three by Gael Lindenfield. Over the year I went through a phase of having 4-5 half-finished books, bookmarks left at chapters one andContinue reading “Films & Books 2017”
New Start, New Life
On the first day of November, I moved into my new temporary home in a new city. Kuala Lumpur – city of mud, rivers, skyscrapers – confluencing and converging into one. I settled into the satellite town of Subang Jaya, and started my contract role as Projects Book Editor at Acts Church. Adjusting to life in KLContinue reading “New Start, New Life”

The Last Half of 2016
It may seem way overdue that I am writing this, but better late than never. It’s so important that I write these reviews (monthly, or half-yearly or yearly), because they enable me to organise my thoughts and count my achievements / happiness. As humans, we forget so easily. In a previous blog post titled 6/6, IContinue reading “The Last Half of 2016”
