Give Me Some Space


Give me some space.

Give me just some space where I can spend my Saturday afternoons, a retreat from the sterile, air-conditioned corridors of those shopping malls.

Give me just some space where I can enjoy a picnic with my friends.

Give me just some space where I can be sheltered from the scorching sun.

Give me just some space with trees, green grass, benches and pebbles, to watch others play softball or throw a frisbee.

Give me just some space with well-lit pathways and snaking lanes which lead nowhere, just to explore in the evening breeze.

Give me just some space with a canopy, so that bikers can enjoy the shade once in a while.

Give me just some space so that I can look up at the clear blue sky, lounging as time goes by.

Give me just some space so that I can feel that I live in a place.

As I write this, my journey has brought me home to the country where I was born and it is a place which I can truly call home. My identity is Malaysian, and 9 years in North America has taught me that nothing will ever come close to compromise that reality. I chose to come back because of a confluence of factors, but for this post I'll focus on identity. I'm often asked about why I chose to return to a country in which hope has been dashed by poor governanc

Reflections on New York: Part 2

The Team Triumphant UBC Team with our 'Outstanding Delegation' in the United Nations Headquarters, Manhattan, New York. We represented the Republic of Madagascar in the National Model United Nations conference. (April 1st-5th 2012) This is Part 2 of my reflections. Before I dive into what it was like to live in New York, I would like to say a few things about the people I spent a week with. Needless to say, we performed very well and our awards are the fruits of our labour. What impressed me the most was that everyone recognized the importance of this trip and prepared accordingly through research, speech preps etc. Most importantly, all of them realized their potential and took their individual skill sets to new heights. As the team's academic 'trainer' and one of its members, I viewed our achievement as an unequivocal success. It makes me smile to think that this victory will serve as a cornerstone or stepping stone (call it whatever stone you desire), to
