Let Go

I’ll leave you to take what you want from it.
*

A time for definitive answers
has come,
And you wait,
The lambs need a saviour.

And we wait.
A change of path, a new direction
 
Oh Shepherd!
Set your lambs free.

Today, I Am Disheartened

I’m twenty four this year, and if you must put me in a box (I hate boxes), I am an ethnic Indian of Malayalee and Telegu descent and Roman Catholic by way of religion. I have been asked by my many of my Malaysian friends, some Indian and some non-Indian to comment on how I [...]

Let’s Play Shoot the Blogger, Shall We?

This blogger is getting it for the STUPIDITY of our Malaysian officials.
I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS DAY.
You use an annonymous blogger’s ridiculously sized picture of something that could have been any random lighthouse anywhere to prove our case AT THE HAGUE?! I feel so malu now, I want to die. Honestly, the shame! And SINGAPORE [...]

TELL Magazine: The Bumper Issue (November and December)

Updated:
Rocky asked me last night if I explained the issue, and I was going, “Erm, no?” Then I thought, who else knows these issues better than I do?
So here goes, some of our favourites, and I hope some of yours too in this month’s TELL (in order of appearance).
1. Nuraina Samad’s NURIN ALERT – she [...]

What Do You Do?

When you brother tells everyone you’re insane and you’re not?
Read : Rocky’s Bru for updates.
I’d pat him on the back and tell him he’s a brave man, which I did.
If what has been said about VK is true, and we finally get down to the bottom of this rotting, stinking mess, and he’s found guilty [...]

Is BN Ready For Democracy?

The tiny posting I did on 10-Eleven: Why We Walked ruffled some feathers.
Amidst the congratulations and the well-wishes and tiny, but promising movements of change (more than 15 of my friends are off to register to vote!!!), were voices that continue to insist that we were used as “tools of the Opposition,” that Sarah and [...]
