Why Would I Write

  • What a lovely night to be lonely

    I turned on the TV and it was still on her favorite channel, The Food Network, which we were watching during dinner earlier. An Iron Chef rerun episode was playing. I never understood the fascination she had with watching people cook, but I decided to watch it for a moment. It didn’t hold my attention for more than 30 seconds. I could only guess why she enjoyed it.

    She was always up for something new and I’m pretty sure some of the meals she’s cooked for us had come from the countless hours she spent watching the channel. But this evening was special. She didn’t cook us dinner. I had texted her earlier in the day that she was in for a surprise when she returned from work. I was the one who made us dinner tonight.

    I’m not known for thinking of ways to improve Malaysia (my friends can attest to that) but there’s one thing I think that would make this country a better place: cool weather.

    This thought popped into my head earlier this year when I was in Melbourne for about a week. The weather there was the best thing about it. No, it wasn’t the coffee, but that’s a story for another day.

  • Professional Rapper

    When I was younger, I loved listening to rap music. I didn’t care who sang it, as long as the lyrics flowed and there was a sick beat going on in the background, I was hooked. I was first exposed to rap through Emninem back in highschool – the fact that he could cuss and swear in songs was an eye (ear?) opening experience. After that, I started listening to other rappers who were big at that time – name Limp Bizkit (not pure rap, but it was still rap) and Cypress Hill.
