Deciphering mixed signals is easier than you think it is I once dated a man who gave me mixed signals. Actually, I’m not even sure if we dated. Have you ever felt this way? I’m pretty sure everyone has at least one person in their lives that left them confused. I remember always begging for […]
It won’t work, will never work, and has never worked. Just stop using it. Seriously. My friend Johan once told me the story of how a woman scowled at him when he approached her at the mall. All he wanted to do was to tell her that her bag was unzipped. “Why did she get […]
The day I fought back my abusive ex-boyfriend is the day I will remember for the rest of my life. In 2011, when I was seventeen, I got together with my first boyfriend. He was twenty-one, four years my senior. He had a car, he went to an international college, and he came from a […]
The most radiant people are those who are unapologetically themselves. When I was younger, doctors diagnosed me with Nephrotic Syndrome. I had to take pills nearly every day since I was two years old. When the illness seemed to have gone away, I would always get a relapse at least a week without medication. I was […]
When carrying out God’s will turns into human manipulation. Recently in Malaysia, six men were fined and jailed for not attending Friday prayers in Terengganu.

The worst thing about marriage is that it will not fix your relationship — and that is also what makes it so wonderful. Prior to meeting my husband, two of my exes asked for my hand in marriage. Once when I wanted to break up, and another when I was hired into a new job. […]
It is the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. Before my husband, I had relationships that lasted for more than a year. The longest one was three and a half years. (Any relationship that lasted less than a year are only considered trial runs!) I’ve thought of marriage a few times during these […]
Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. Assassin’s Creed is a historical fiction/science fiction game that chronicles a long conflict between the Assassin Order and the Templar Order. In the middle of it all stands one man who revolutionised the Assassin Order into what it is today. His name is Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad. Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad’s Codex was a personal journal written by […]
“A simple equation with no complications to leave you confused; If this is love, love, love, it’s the easiest thing to do.” — McFly What is love? Love to me isn’t a big bonfire. It’s the warmth of the hearth that keeps you safe and comfortable on cold nights. Even when the fire is dimly lit, […]
On 3 December 2019, I met a Sarawakian tattoo artist when I went to a tattoo parlour with a coworker. We were there to get her tattoo touched up. A pretty timely experience considering the tattoo debacle that recently happened in Malaysia. A lot of Malaysians came forward to defend tattoo culture but the problem for me was […]
