It took a while to realize that death is not the end all be all

The inevitability of death is an opportunity to live better

Knowing our mortality motivates us to the live the life we want

It still makes me and gives me sleepless nights

But death is not the end all be all

               Are you always the friend that never got called to a gathering? Are you the friend that have to walk behind when the walkway is not wide enough? Are you the one that got belittle by each and every of the member in the gang and no one is there to stand up for you so you just have to laugh along. Are your messages got ignored in the Whatsapp group chat? Do any of your friends ever listen to your stories, your ideas or even your pain? Can you recount the times your friends actually sat with you during recess? No? You must be a lucky person. Now, relax and let me tell you the story of a friend that doesn’t have any friend.                 His name was Tre Lee. He was a happy boy. Born in Malaysia, his family together with him moved to Australia when he was 2 so that his father could work in his new company. Every day, his father makes sure Tre does not forget his roots by teaching him Mandarin and Bahasa Melayu. He would tell stories of their ancestors and of traditions

The Battle With Brain Fog

                Have you ever fought a war? To be more exact/ have you ever waged war against your own brain. Sounds crazy?

Have you ever spaced out while doing something? Have you tried concentrating so hard on it but ten you realized you tried so hard on concentrating you aren’t even doing what you are supposed to do. Have you ever went on a holiday and when you return you forgot everything about the trip and even forgotten what your house look like.                 Well, here my friend is my encounter with brain fog. Let me start off by introducing myself. I’m not exactly a genius but still smart enough to sit in the first class. I come from a moderate family and have no talent to show for.

3 weeks in.

“It’s just a dream, it’s just a dream. You will wake up any second now.” I thought to myself. 3 weeks into college and I still could not believe it. That thought kept repeating itself in my mind like a broken cassette, preventing me from enjoying this moment. The moment I have been dreaming about for months. Meeting new people, studying subjects that interest me and learning new cultures are among the things that I want to do in college. However, every day, hours and class that I was in felt like a dream and a vacation. It feels weird not going to the same school that you have been going to for 5 years. It feels weird that you still wake up at the same time but going in the opposite direction. It feels weird doing these familiar things but with different friends. It feels weird not going to the same school as the girl that kept your heart for 5 years. You need time to get used to the fact that her smile is the only thing that you morning. You miss the butterflies she unconsciously p
