Sex, Guns and Words: One

“Do you know what makes an amazing love story?” she asked.
“It’s when you’re part of it,” he answered.
ONE
He takes out a book out and his pen from his right side pocket. Seated, he thinks of something to write about. He bites the pen, pondering long and hard about something to write about today’s interesting moments. Unfortunately, his mind suffer a blunt hit from all the negativity around him.
Then, a girl comes over and asked, “Is there anyone sitting here?”
He looks at her in awe as the first thing that comes into mind was, “God damn, she’s beautiful.”
He answered her question, “There’s no one here.”
She sat down beside the boy. As she unpacks her food which she had apparently bought from the cafeteria, she realizes that the boy had his book out with the pen dancing around his fingers.
“Are you writing something?” as she takes a peek.
“Trying to.” he replied.
He further takes out his earphones from his bag. He takes a peek at her beauty. They both take a peek at each in a timely manner. She takes a peek first then it is his turn. The cycle repeats itself for about 12 minutes.
She eats, he thinks, she takes out her phone, he switches the song in his playlist, she texts her friend, he looks at people walking by, she stands up, and he looks at her.
He wanted to say something like, “Are you done? Why so fast? Can I have your number?” but he did not ask.
She was hoping for him to say something but unfortunately he did not.
Before she left, the boy mustered up the courage to voice out his thoughts, “When can I see you again?”
Deep down she was happy to get any response from the boy.
“Around the same time? Same place?”, she replied.
“Here you mean?”, he wondered.
“Yes, here. Exactly at 1.” she left the boy’s sight as she slowly walks further away from the premise.
He wrote something on his book after she had left, ‘I met a girl but I forgot to ask her name’.

Sex, Guns and Words: EXTRA 3: First year

“I’m sorry Abdullah .” he shot the man with his silencer barrel pistol. Two shots were shot. He dragged the body back on the bed. His hand bloodied and deep down he felt guilty about it but he knew it had to be done. He takes out his phone and speeds dial to an unknown number, “The owl is now in a cage.” The receiver from the other end replied, “Affirmative agent. Rendezvous at the designated location.” He throws the phone away outside the window. He makes way onto the main deck with the rest of his belongings. He prepares his escape with the ship’s safety boat. He once again stares at the gun and tries to accept the situation that he has killed a person. He took a life away. “If you cannot fix a person then don’t hurt the person.” his father said. He keeps the gun and throws away the thought of his father’s advice. ‘I am now and not before’ as he sails away from the cargo ship.

Mythology of Borneo / Sabah - Mount Kinabalu [Part 1]

Information on the picture: it is drawn by Yeng Kiat [ source ] Mount Kinabalu’s (Malay:  Gunung Kinabalu ) [pronounced ki-na-bah-lu] name is a mystery to this day even among the locals. Because to each family, and to each person living in the state of Sabah the origin of the mountain’s name have their own different meaning. However, there is a common derivation of the name from the Kadazan words that is well known among the people of Sabah (mind you, the Kadazans aren’t the Dusuns, and the Dusuns aren’t the Kadazans, and there is an abundance of people living in the state),  Aki Nabalu , meaning ‘the revered place of the dead’. The local Kadazandusuns believe that when they pass away, their spirits will climb the mountain top and dwell there. Sir Hugh Low , a British colonial administrator and naturalist made the first documneted ascent to Kinabalu and he reported that his Kadazandusun guide carried an assortment of charms such as pieces of wood, human teeth, a...
