Hey, what's up? Welcome to my blog.

  • Hey, what’s up? Kicking off my 2026 travel diary with a family trip to Thailand because starting the year with good food and familiar places just felt right. I have been to Thailand quite a number of times back in my high school days. My dad has a house in Kedah right by the border Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? I recently read a book titled When I Was A Kid 7 by Boey. It feels very much like a diary, but one filled with childish drawings. Each illustration comes with a short description, giving context to the moment or memory being shared. This is the seventh book in the series, though I haven’t read Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? I’m back with another book review, something I haven’t done in a long while after getting completely swallowed by the world of Avatar the Last Airbender comics. No regrets there. This time, I’m sharing my two cents on Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles. In the simplest terms, the book explores ideas and habits that Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? I’m back with another comic review! If you’ve read my first review, it was about Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Promise arc. Instead of writing about every single arc one by one, I decided to just review the whole Avatar: The Last Airbender comic series that I’ve read so far. I feel like I’d end Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? My travel diary has been in hibernation lately, mostly because life decided to throw me into a new workplace and a financial crisis (honestly, when does it not?). Still, I managed to squeeze in one last trip right before 2025 wrapped up.And yes, I only posted this on New Year’s Day because I got Read more

  • Hey, what’s up?  I recently found out that the TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender — yup, The Legend of Aang we all grew up with — actually has comic sequels! So of course I immediately started buying them. In this post, I’m going to summarise what happens in the book. That means major spoilers ahead, so don’t read on Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? Life has been a whirlwind lately, which explains the lack of travel blogs, book reviews, and even the usual Weekend Things posts. Travelling needs money and time, reading a book needs effort and time… and right now, I seem to have none of the above. On top of that, I’ve run out of ideas for Weekend Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? My family and I recently went to China, specifically Chengdu, for one week. In this post, I’ll be sharing the places we visited — though I won’t dive into every single detail, because I want to shamelessly promote a travel ebook I bought for the trip! The ebook is in Malay, so only get Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? I recently read The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Japanese author Mai Mochizuki, translated into English by Jesse Kirkwood. Since it’s originally written in Japanese, translation was essential — and I must say, it was beautifully done. Today, I’ll be sharing a short review! I’d rate the book 7 out of 10. It’s a unique Read more

  • Hey, what up? Howdy, reader! I recently went on a trip to Cornwall with a bunch of friends, and in this post, I’ll be sharing what we got up to. So, stick around till the end if you’re curious about our itinerary—or just want to see some cool pictures. Cornwall is tucked away in the Read more
