musings of a twenty-something bilingual
The evening of our arrival day saw us taking to the beach favourite hang-out, Beach Cafe. Greeted with smiles and fun, the owners made us feel at home at their shack and we chose our Chinese-style dishes. Honestly, it was the best sweet n sour chicken I have ever had, and so it should be… Continue reading summer :: penang pt.2
I sit here on our final night in Penang in the lobby of our hotel, enjoying the funky musician playing and singing classics, and wish to reflect on our days in Penang. Pre-flight series: After a gruelling journey consisting of two 7hr flights and then a quick little one, we arrived at our first destination:… Continue reading summer :: penang pt.1
SELF-LOVEI realised something today: I get over things easily because I've learned to love myself. I am who I am, and it has take me years to be at peace with so many parts of myself, so now that I am, I can't just throw that peace to the ground and crumble. This self-love makes… Continue reading love :: worthy
So I have now officially moved back home for summer after a tremendously stressful yet enjoyable second year. This year has tested me so much, but my faith is even stronger, new friendships have been made, and I'm happier than I've ever been. It's going to be a stressful summer with SO much to get… Continue reading life :: return
I dreaded waking up today to the 10am release of second year results. It didn't help that I woke up 45 minutes early - I had to fill that time with something other than crippling anxiety. When 10am came, my first demonic thought came: "Why are you even bothering at university Anna"; the second, "You're… Continue reading life :: continue
It's quite hard sometimes to be a "milennial" (despite being born in the nineties) and a Christian. It's challenging. Although as a society, we're a lot more accepting, we're also a lot more defensive yet on the attack at the same time. So, adding Christianity to this battle already can make muddling through the early years… Continue reading love :: rainbow
Hey lovelies, it's so great to be able to post so much more often (thats a lotta adverbs there) on Kulayrosas. I'm constantly looking for new material to write about, especially as my posts usually begin as a thought, are written out like a waffle, and then edited into something (relatively) cohesive. *face palm* So,… Continue reading life :: preparation
I'm getting a little posting-obsessed over on Instagram, so thought I'd spill out my energy onto the webpage instead. Along with all the photos I'm dying to post. So now that I'm home for summer, I'm trying to keep myself occupied. I spent Monday-Wednesday mostly at home, except yesterday (Wednesday) I had a job interview.… Continue reading life :: home
You could say that with finishing second year, life has slowed down. But in no way is that a reality. Despite summer beginning, and my 20th birthday passing (the Friday just gone Thursday eek!), I still find myself busy. But not "busy" busy, you know that kind of busy when you think you're busy but… Continue reading life :: new beginnings
To put it bluntly: I am not satisfied with my life. And, I know that I probably never will be. It's an issue of mine that I genuinely struggle with, even my mum could back me up on that. But, after what has been an emotional evening of illness and minor conflict, I'm typing at… Continue reading life :: declutter
