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.

For many years, it was the hub for festive occasions, be it Chinese New Year, Christmas, relatives visiting, funerals and so forth. I have chosen the house as a setting for countless essays during my primary school years, when I had to describe happy memories or celebrations. Indeed, Grandpa's home was such a collection of merriment and was very much an integral part of my childhood. Grandpa was always there a...

3 Months in Malaysia: The Feeling of Belonging

Have you ever experienced leaving a place for many years and, upon your return, feel that you've never left? Unfortunately, it feels that I've been gone a long time from my home country, Malaysia. I feel some form of friction at the workplace, with the language, culture, sensibilities and norms. This is expected and what I perceive to be a natural process of re-acculturation and re-assimilation - re-settling myself into this place I call home . However, the stakes are a lot higher for me and I've got a set of goals for myself. I'll try to highlight one aspect per entry, so this post will be about the process of 're-learning' and 're-education' here in Malaysia. Having worked at a law firm for two months and now in a political party as a researcher, I've got some serious catching up to do in terms of catching up to speed with the pulse and current affairs of this nation. As I devour books, articles and writings that shed light on the many events t...
