RIP, Democracy
This year has been one full of ironies. And I’m gunna talk about one of them. In the past 11 months, I’ve been in 4 continents. I was in 8 different countries, and visited 5 states in the US. In the past 65 weeks, only 2.5 was spent in Malaysia. And yet, I hardly remember feeling […]
