As it seems...

As it seems, it has been almost 4 years since I last updated my blog. It was for various reasons. I told my psychologist because it felt like I couldn’t move on from the grief and continue writing as if nothing happened, or the pain of losing my brother wouldn’t hurt me anymore. I had a mental block. I moved from Cairns to Brisbane in January 2023. I had plenty of experiences during the four years, including dating my best friend in Cairns, who’s a single dad, which did not work out. It made me realise I needed to do some work on myself to be able to go out and date again. So when I got my permanent residency in Australia, and was allowed to move anywhere to work, I decided to move back to Brisbane as a fresh start that I very much needed. I started working in a special school, which was a significant growth opportunity for my career. Now, I don’t know if I ever want to go back to mainstream school again. I find the career rewarding on many levels, but especially the school that I ...

Scribbles from the past

As I move out of my current room in Mossman and into a new room near Wonga, I was going through all the things I have collected throughout the years. I came to Australia with 3 bags of clothes, 40 kgs worth of belongings and now I have collected so many unnecessary tokens along the way (most of them being storybooks and board games :D). I had to bid farewell to most of them. I found one token that I refuse to part with because it was truly a life changing experience for me. It was my mid-year QUT Big Lift trip to a few different towns near Darling Downs region in Queensland, Australia. Essentially, the goal is to serve the regional community in any way possible. I'd been to the short weekend trip to Cherbourg with QUT Big Lifters by then, so I knew some of the members. I wasn't too sure what to prepare for this 5-day journey however, I just winged it. I rocked up to the bus stop and felt a bit awkward because this was a larger group and I didn't know many of them. We were ...

No, time does not heal anything!

I looked back at a blogpost I wrote 4 years ago when my uncle passed. I wrote about grief from losing my cousin and uncle. However, losing my brother 2 years ago has changed my perspective on a lot of things.  When I flew home to Malaysia, I already had more than 12 hours to collect my thoughts and emotions. I told myself that he is in a better place where he can’t feel pain anymore. He doesn’t have to go through the pressure of meeting people/society’s expectations anymore. By the time I saw my brother in a coffin, I did not shed a single tear. I was surprised that I did not cry. People around me were surprised too that I did not cry. I think I was in shock but I also knew that I had to stay focused and be there for my parents. My priority is my parents. We cremated my brother’s physical being, did a 16th day memorial service based on the Hindu religion. Over that two weeks, I have cried myself to sleep numerous times because I did not want to cry in front of people. After 3 weeks...
