Hello

Welcome to my new blog. I have not blogged in a year, for a good reason. I'll explain that one day as I still am unable to explain without choking on tears at this stage.

The short of it is that I'm now a divorcee and I'm still trying to grapple with my daily life. While I've been hiding from posting anything much on social media, there are still stories in me that need to be told. An outlet of interesting tales from meeting different people since my separation.

I've been taking a lot of Uber/GrabCar to get from one place to another and I make it a point to get to know the person behind the wheel. Most have been friendly and they really are a different breed of Malaysians.

So here's hoping that my fascination of listening to their stories will lead me to jot them down here in this new blog. Yes, it's other people's stories but heck, I need an outlet to express myself, if it isn't about myself, so be it. I have to start somewhere.

Some thoughts about my new life. Travelling has started to become more of meeting people, getting to know strangers and their stories. My camera was hardly touched, mainly because I know I will not publish these photos anywhere. Wait, maybe in this new blog I just might for my own viewing pleasure.

On top of that, I have also been concerned about my finances. How do I manage a finite resource to match a finite life? It's all about balancing the risk, should I be investing for retirements or should I take the money and travel while I still can? How does one shift their life plan at the age of 40?

When our beliefs are completely shattered, can we ever predict who we may become?

Here's my discovering journey.
