How to stay humble in an Asian family:

Me: "Hey mum, look, I got my article published in this online magazine."
Mum: "Were you paid?"
Me: "No. But my short story in that anthology did get me USD250."
Mum: "Peanuts!"

Interesting bathroom PSA in the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. It is nice to know that if I am on fire, someone will kick in the door to rescue me

Our cat Goldie looking out the window of our Chicago apartment, whih shows a third-storey view of some suburb-like homes right in the middle of a city. The apartment is mostly unpacked and somewhat fit for humans.

Settling into the new apartment, and pumped at earning my SEO certificate yesterday. Zooming in now on African culture, driving license and writing new articles on Medium next~

I'm a writer, not quite an artist. But I can testify that now that I've moved to a state with less crazy and discriminatory laws, I feel so much safer and my brain firing with ideas! I've started to write a new story story ^^

Now that I've settled in a new city, I start looking through open calls for submission. Then I stumble across one from Taco Bell Quarterly.
Not sure I am qualified to write for such greatness XD
