Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
My best friend from high school, whom I adore, and think the world of... is about to change her life. Dukes and I became friends late in adolescent life... seniors in high school. We bonded over soccer and the Beastie Boys and since then, she truly has witnessed my human evolution. We don't talk every … Continue reading G.R.O.W.
I am probably one of the more judgmental people on this planet. I admit it. I always have been critical of behavior, choices, circumstances of others... and while I secretly and internally judged, I usually brushed off that judgment with, "they can do whatever they want, but I certainly would never do that." In fact, … Continue reading Self-Realizations 4: I’m a Judge Judy

I think no matter how old you are, you still get that same butterfly feeling when you have a crush on someone. … Continue reading Butterflies

Here's a little recap: Trip 1: Age 18 … Continue reading And So It Ends…

Thanksgiving is my favorite … Continue reading Thanksgiving Melayu

I've been out of touch the last few days as my internet connection has been spotty, so I've been unable to write/post anything until now. I'm still in the lovely land of … Continue reading Self-Realizations 3: I Am Not a Grown Up
The fam. So I ripped off the title. Sophia Coppola knew what she was doing when she aptly named her movie. Being half-Malaysian, coming to Malaysia is not my first rodeo. In fact, it's my fifth or sixth rodeo. Each time I visit, it is a special time for me to reconnect with my heritage- … Continue reading Lost In Translation
in other places besides L.A. Isn't it funny that when you go somewhere- besides out your front door, your usual commute, your neighborhood- you are more likely to notice the "normal" things in life. Just because you are in a different setting. Like the sunrise. Ok, so I didn't see the sun rise landing in … Continue reading The Sun Also Rises
"The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff." - Britney Spears I'm off to see the world again...
