failed

I said I was going to attempt to update daily when I was overseas. Attempt was highlighted because, well, by the time I published this, I am already a week back in Malaysia, and I have not updated the page since 2 weeks ago.

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 ...
