Tapestry of life

In the tapestry of life, moments shine bright,Like stars against the vast canvas of night.For me, it was Ayappa, my closest kin,A man I thought would never fall, never dim. In his eyes, I saw the strength of ages past,Yet, one day, he slept, and it was his last.Life’s fragility struck, swift and profound,In that…

MSC#7: Will the Election Blueprint ever pass?

Every single MSC of 2023 seems to be contending for the prize of being the longest and most infuriating one ever, with MSC#7 (and MSC#7.2, you probably know where this is going already), being the latest addition to the roster.

Monch: The Daily Grind KL

Tucked away amidst the buzz of activity and life in the busy suburb of Bangsar is The Daily Grind, a nonchalant diner-style restaurant.

Goodbye

Hi dad, how have you been? It’s been months since we last spoke, since I’ve tried to move on. I see you’ve moved on too, a new life ahead of you while I fix the broken one you left me in. I know you wanted a son instead of me, but why did you have…

I want to kill myself. I mean it well and truly. Like bile at the base of my throat, like a sick, growing ball in my chest, like shivers down my spine. Maybe death is too harsh a word, gorey and blood-tinged, violent and cruel. To be completely truthful and exact: I do not want…
