Room in College

One of the author’s sleepless nights in college. This photo was taken inside his room where most of his thoughts began to take shape in his mind. Some were written down on paper and saw publication, but most remained inside waiting to see light someday, that is, when the author already thinks he is mature enough to stand by his words and his principles already in tuned with the spontaneity of the concepts being churned inside his mind. Below are documentations of places he has been to but never truly appreciated much less conquered. He dreams of someday finding a place where he can finally be at ease with himself. A place that he can call his own. For now he is wandering, trying to find his place under the sun (as the cliche goes [which is also starting to become a cliche]).

    just wondering why you commented that VNam, Germany and Austria are sad places…

    is it because of what they have gone through?

    well, of course, i’m sure that there is another angle to look at at those places where beauty can be appreciated in its glory. much like here in our sad, misbegotten country – nonetheless, one can see beauty in its raw splendour!

    Our perception of sadness often is on a constant flux, so are other emotions. Probably when I said they are sad places, I was only referring to my feelings on that exact day.

    hey John, that is not Penang I think it is Malacca. I may be wrong but I am pretty sure I have not seen this in Penang in my 30 over years of stay in Penang.
