friends

the most precious gems that I will ever hoard in my life
if I were a dragon, I'll be one with scales of embers and starlight
as the brightness of my own is not self generated, 
but were fueled on by others, by external forces of selflessness and love
the five of you, 
the five that pulled me up when I need a hand, the five that will never fail to make me smile and to assure me that no matter what I do, there will be ears and shoulders for me to fall on
the one that rose up the ranks within a year
we differ yet we are the same, and the comfort is always a fundamental piece of my life
the one that will always be there
never had we shared unrealistic promises, never had we be typical 
but we are content yet yearning for when the time comes
may the fate reunite us with its magical ways

if I were a dragon 
I will be content to sleep within my treasures
even if I will never wake up to the stars and the skies
for the world, is never complete without all of you.

I miss all of you, dearly.

I saw a few dogs joining the peak hour tube too, and I coo every time. Our first stop in London and it felt eerily like Petaling Street, with shops and stalls selling postcards, t-shirts and merchandises along the street. They play loud music in the shops, and there are people buskering right beside the road or on a bridge, singing with their guitar for a pound or two. We went past a street or two, shuffled past some alleys and steps to find a food-court like place in the middle of the town. There's stalls full of different food, from Mexican tacos to Greek street food to Indonesian Rendang. Guess what we settled for? Fis...

The Balance of Neutrality

I've always tried to live up to the standards of being a neutral person, especially one that could look at an issue from different perspectives no matter how uncomfortable it might be, putting on shoes made for someone else. Looking back, my appreciation for scepticism probably sprouted from my early debate days. Among many things, scepticism was one of the most important aspects that my amazing debate coach (who I will forever be indebted to) taught us when we're at the formative years of 14.  I am also glad that despite my horrible memory, these key values were things that stuck with me almost stubbornly along the years.  I've been trying to get myself to understand what is going on in the world. It's a slow process - I do prefer escapism via imaginary and fantastical worlds instead of residing in the physical one - but it is something that I vowed to do, inspired by the reinterpretation of Edith Sampson's speech by Andrew Scott . I've done this for ...
