This happened in one of my mundane train trip to work. I was sitting next to a guy. He was playing with his phone. The seat to my left was empty. It was a usual boring morning train. Everyone was with their own things. Some still fighting the sleepiness. Some numbing their existential pain by hearing music with

Hiking is a pretty popular thing going on around here. This is a city area after all and hiking in the forest is the best way to escape from the hectic life of the concrete jungle. Having that said, I had never been hiking at anywhere at all. One, is because all of these hiking places are not

When you're wounded, a bandaid could help. That goes the same when it comes with emotional pain. But, that requires a different approach. I've experienced enough pain and most of them come from the expectation generated by my mind. So far, I can say the less you expect, the happier you'll be. Just focus on living the reality

A lot of us change ourselves because of certain people's critiques and comments. A change caused by other's opinion. Then, there's a bunch of famous saying like "don't care about what other's think"... "those who matter don't mind, those who mind don't matter"... and "just be yourself". In a lot of ways, nothing is entirely 100% applicable. If

I seldom go on for a travel. One main reason is because I'm a loser and I don't have anyone to go with and secondly, it's pricey. I have adapted to the life of Internet so well that I don't have to be at the tourist spot to experience what tourist would experience. Yes, the profuse sweating, stinky

Death is always sudden and surprising. When I was in secondary school, two of my classmates passed. One was due to genetic disease another was due to malaria. When I got the news, I was shocked. It was then my breath stopped. I almost fainted. I always saw people in drama fainted from getting bad news. But, I

This story is about my bro, Mika. Bro recently got a new job somewhere else. Given the nature of his job, he has to wake up early. Public transportation is not even operating yet. Under that circumstances, he has to stay at the hostel provided. It is within walking distance from work.  It was a modern prison. The

There's this friend of mine called Onion. Onion loves cat. He has about 6 of them now. Most of the cats are strays and he just picked each of them from the street. He feels sympathetic towards the kitties. So, he adopted them. He's a saint. A cat saviour. A hero. A kind soul. One day, I saw

It is often in life, good things happen and we want to share it. Most of the good things can be shared. You know, like attending a birthday party of your crush next week, or celebrating the fact that you got a lucky draw prize from your company, and so on. However, today I learnt that there is

Learning new skill is what makes life interesting. But often, it needs motivation whether it's good or bad. You might be wondering what is good motivation. Well, it can be the desire to cook for someone which led you into cooking. You get the idea. On the other hand, the bad one is derived from something like the

It was a gloomy day. I stared outside the window and it was indeed gloomy. Rain is about to cast its fall. It has been 5 days since the delivery. I have yet to receive my package. What made it worse is that I thought it was Thursday. But no. It's Friday. Further delay would not be good.

So, the sink broke the other day. When I took the whole thing apart, I discovered that it was actually held by pieces of adhesive tapes and greasy grimes. It was supposed to be screwed tight but the whole thing gave away to rust. I tried to tape it back but it wasn't working - of course it
