anyway, it's almost 2am here in Kuala Lumpur. if you are going to sleep, don't forget to pray Isya', recite the 3 Quls and ayatul Kursi. ask for protection from the Creator of every being. sleep well.

you know how malaysians like to scare themselves silly, right? i'd say mostly malays lah, because i don't really know what non-malays watch ... but there are lots of podcasts these days talking about the supernatural (jin, hantu etc) on top of various scary movies on offer ...

[chachamarba @chikpuanchacha]

so when i see these ghosthunters or paranormal investigators looking for ghosts or hantu as we malays call it, i shake my head. nak sangat, nanti dia datang betul-betul baru tau. it's not just about you, but your loved ones who are vulnerable, children for example.

before i forget, roti canai is pronounced roti chanai ... not ka-nai. if you happen to be on holiday in Malaysia, ask for roti chanai for breakfast. below is roti sarang burung (bird's nest roti), a type of roti canai with two eggs and minced meat. https://t.co/ABK36EJgRU

1. Started my day all fired up to complete a project already past the due date, filling my tummy with a #rotisarangburung (bird's nest roti) at #SungaiPenchala. Then went to the #TTDI library to be told by the guard it's closed. Forgot they close on first weekend every month! >

since the last time i was on twitter, AI has become such a toxic issue, especially among the creative community ... hence why i am not sharing my stuff on here. like i wrote in my earlier post today, i will be deleting this account after GE16, so writing stuff will be elsewhere.

[chachamarba @chikpuanchacha]

although, writing and i mean creative writing is mostly a solitary occupation ... so what do you want to see ... the writer posting themselves typing away? i mean, you can actually do this on youtube. i am quite amazed by those 'study with me' 3-hr videos with millions of views.

my favourite ee cummings poem is 'i thank you God' ... i have not read (or written) poetry in a very long time. i do have a collection that i want to self-publish though. just make it into an ebook, perhaps. don't know why it's taking me so long to do all these things. strange.

[chachamarba @chikpuanchacha]

if you're wondering why i write using all small caps it's because i am too lazy to use the shift button to make it caps; and not because i am influenced by ee cummings even though he is one of my favourite poets. in fact, i have written one or two poems using small caps like him.
