cicada by belle mare i have two weeks left to spare, and i don't know what else to do. i miss being alone in an empty space where disappointment cease to exist and i was at peace then. look at me, am i happy? do i smile genuinely? is my laughter the same as before? if you say yes, you don't really see me, do you? why would you, or anyone? i wouldn't too, there's no time for that. 2016 has been a year of tedious self-discovery, which will continue till fate knocks on my door. to be...

her love is stacked such as her CD collection of adolescence on her chipped wooden desk her love is foreign like the first two months in a new place a lot were untouched and unfathomable her love is subtle similar to her honeysuckle scent and humour her love comes and goes such as the rain and sunshine she felt too much of it, and decided to tone it down little by little until it is close to nil. she swore she felt it when he came in, in fact, she did because her cheeks were flushed and palms...

if i close my eyes and were asked about my vision of my own sanctuary, i would instantly see an abundance of records and CDs consist of music that affected my childhood, adolescence and adulthood. two record players, an old-school boombox on a mahogany furniture with records and CDs occupying each storage space below. above it, there will be a big abstract painting contrasting the beige wall, and green plants beside most of my furniture. maybe a muted mustard yellow couch would fit in there somewhere with colourblocking pillows, a settee for the sake of my adolescence (bcs...

Unforgiven by Beck Down on the street Just let the engine run 'Til there's nothing left Except the damage done Beck's Morning Phase is on my top 10 favourite albums of all time. There is something about the ethereal ambience that transports me to some place better than reality every time I listen to tracks like Unforgiven, Wave or Morning -- for once, I feel at peace. I would say it has a similar affect on me like Bon Iver's Holocene, Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb and Gregory Alan Isakov's Amsterdam. It is quite a complex feeling to unravel,...

Recap: I went back to Brunei last week for 5 days and savoured every bit of it by eating a hearty amount of food that I don't normally consume -- it was all worth it despite the weight gain I have packed along with me.   Alas, my cravings for Verve's latte has been fulfilled as well as their chocolate ganache. God bless. After a brief chill session at the cafe, we went to Nerdee for some Cards Against Humanity which I thoroughly enjoyed while sipping my butterbeer that was too sweet for my well-being. Then we proceeded...

Beautiful War by Kings of Leon And so, another day at the airport waiting to board the life or death journey in the solitary skyline. It still fascinates me how little everything is from up above despite this being my 8th time on a plane -- but the usual bitter aftertaste feels like a bucketful of lava being poured down to my soul. I like being alone and independent, at the same time, I dislike the everlasting loneliness within the fragment of my heart -- I am unsure how to comprehend it precisely but everyone has it, and...

Piazza, New York Catch by Belle & Sebastian "I never realise how much I like being home unless I have been somewhere really different for a while..." - Juno (2007)  Currently sitting at a cafe beside the university I'm attending that is still alien to me. My butt is slowly cramping uncomfortably to tell you the truth -- petition for more cushioned chairs s'il vous plaît.  Here's something ironic; I never thought I would be one of those who would have multiple breakdowns longing for home. I used to think that leaving was the best thing that could potentially happen in...

Postcards From Italy by Beirut Hello fellow human beings of this uncultured side of the internet (har de har har). It's been far too long since I have properly post anything of gaiety. Don't fret however, tons of shindigs have happened in the past undistinguished months since I have gone MIA. I am about to go to uni soon -- how soon? Like... Next week. As predicted, my sanity is not quite intact (when has it ever?) Though I have practiced a lot of tolerance from major incompetence in August despite it being a what might have been...

Disclaimer: Last month, I was struggling with depression and unbelievable amount of anxiety which took me to listening to tunes that reflected what was inside. If you follow me on my soundcloud, you'd know I covered two songs, She Lays Down by The 1975 and Lua by Bright Eyes. Those who have immersed themselves into reading both songs and truly reflecting them, I am sure you'd understand where I'm coming from. It was 6am, I couldn't get the song out of my head, I have to let it out, I have to. A quarter past 7 and on my...

Journal entry, 21st May 2016 [Unedited] : Constantly belittled by words but mostly actions... I'm tired of hearing someone, idk. Kodaline is slowly helping like it used to. Preferring being alone as oppose to potentially scarring someone permanently/temporarily.... I am not pissed anymore -- exhausted. Basically don't have an ounce of emotion to use even if it kills me. [I proceed to writing down a random song that came to mind with a specific melody] She&Him vibes:- (What're You Doin' in NYE melody) You think I'm crazy Bcs I care so much Oh let me tell you  all...

I have found yet another gold to stack up the soul's wealth. And what should I do with the gold? Why, I share it of course. So I have found an artist/musician Chad VanGaalen who is from Calgary. VanGaalen has a similar soothing sound with Paper Kites, James Vincent McMorrow, Fleet Foxes, Glen Hansard -- basically the ultimate epitome of folk and I just...

I think you'll learn a lot once you've finally opened up to the possibilities of love and being loved. You would eventually witness a whole new sight of life, I guess. Through the pain for instance, through my pain, I have realised the reality of having someone who doesn't share the same heart as I do. Realistically, that has always been my point of view however, the ice began to thaw and the curtains dropped, thus, here lies the undeniably vulnerable homo-sapien that is living the stereotype of an incompetent, nauseating, dependant girl. I despise myself more than...

Lauren Elizabeth has always been one of my go-to YouTubers for years now and I have never connected to a video with such depth and emotions until I re-watched her first video this year. The content was mainly about her generally speaking about being open to expressing life struggles and/or mental illness. Our similarities in that sense is uncanny. That being said, April has not been kind to me as massive accumulation of fear and anxiety have grabbed hold to my life yet again with more or less similar factors that Lauren have pointed out in that video. ...

Anagram by Young The Giant, 14 57 There are many phenomenons that could perturb this whole essence of self-control that I trained myself to have. Being someone who is easily anxious and presumptuous at some point in her life... Surprisingly enough, I do get good days when I feel extremely confident as if I could rule the whole entire world! Haha, I know it sounds as if I am exaggerating but you know what? I am in one of those good days and I do not care what I am putting out to the universe (I might regret...
