I have definitely come a long way from hiding my queer self since I was a kid. It took many years for me to realise that there is nothing wrong with being attracted to girls and even falling in love with one and wanting to have a future with them. We are all human and…
Disneyland Paris Pride 2022
A few years ago when I met Amélie, she talked to me about going to Disneyland Paris to celebrate pride. I found that to be such a wonderful way to celebrate pride, in a magical place like Disneyland. So since this year being the year that I promised myself that I would put myself out…
Confessions of a cheater
I have never been loyal to my partners in my life. Most of my past relationships were pretty toxic. As usual, it starts out great and romantic. Then, their true colours start to show and we realise how incompatible we are with each other. Most people think once they find someone good for them they…
Floating
Do you ever feel like you don’t look forward to anything? Just living life day to day. I’ve been feeling stuck. I haven’t been able to create a working routine for myself. Ever since before the big day. Before the big day, all I was doing was preparing for it, then came the big day…
Our Wedding
We got married on June 17th, 2019 at the city mayor’s office. It was a beautiful day with Amélie’s immediate family, grandmother, and our witnesses. We got married in the morning then had a barbecue hotdog lunch together. Sweet and simple. Since then we have been saving up for our wedding reception. Married life has…
Memory
Do you remember the earliest memory you have ever had? For me it’s my 2nd birthday party. I remembered the dress I was wearing, a black dress with flowers on it. I was at my birthday cake getting ready to blow the candles, surrounded by other kids. I kept leaning towards my cake and got…
64th Merdeka Anniversary
It is Malaysia’s independence day today on the 31st of August 2021. Unfortunately I have no mood for it. Malaysia’s state is horrible so why should I even celebrate it’s independence? Clearly we are not able to run our own country. I’d rather it be colonised. All we do is destroy each other due to…
The time I met Avril Lavigne in person
It was the year 2008. The place? Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. Avril Lavigne was going to start her Asia Tour and the first country was Malaysia. It was kind of a bad situation because the country had tried to cancel or postpone the the concert just because it was too close to…
Why am I so public with my lifestyle?
In honour of Pride Month i’d like to take this opportunity to talk about my sexual orientation, my lifestyle choices and why I chose to publicly put myself, my lifestyle and my love life out there on social media. Growing up and trying to figure out what I like and how I would like to…
Ways to reduce plastic waste.
Starting a few years ago I have decided to reduce my plastic waste. Sometimes we seem to not realize just how much of waste and especially plastic waste we actually create. I believe that subconsciously it may affect our wellbeing because we are ignorant to how our waste is being managed or rather, not managed….
A letter to my younger self
Dear younger Sarah, Nothing in life is permanent so remember that when you feel things aren’t gonna change, they sure will, in time. Learn to master the art of patience. This also applies to happy moments so make sure to really treasure them as they too won’t last forever. Remember to always connect with those…

The Arabisation in Malaysia
First and foremost, I do not have a particular problem with the Arab culture. I love the food, the music, the language, the tradition and so on. What I’m talking about in this post is precisely about how the Arab way of living and thinking have taken over and basically removed the traditional Malay culture….
That time I almost died
During the year of 2015 I was in the hotel industry for a few years already and I became too into it without realizing I was neglecting my health. Working as the Manager of a resort is very demanding. It takes up all of my time and requires me to be on duty all day…
What it’s like to lose a mother to ALS
My mom has always been a very strong character. She’s pretty much extreme in everything she does. She worked so hard and against all odds, she went from a financially poor background to making a mark in the corporate world alongside powerful people who are mostly men. She’s definitely one of a kind. She loved…
Being gay in Malaysia
Malaysia was listed on the top 9 dangerous countries in the world to be LGBTQ. It’s really tough to realise what you really want for yourself with everyone around you telling you what you should want or how to live your life. Coming out and being open about our sexual orientation can be hurtful to…
Adopted
Since I was pretty much neglected by both of my parents, I spent most of my time at home with my little sister and my nanny. When I’m not at home, I’m at kindergarten, school or university. Growing up I was lucky enough to meet a few wonderful people who welcomed me to their lovely…
Insta is down!!
This was definitely not expected. All three of the most used apps by many in the world, Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp have a technical issue that doesn’t allow all devices to look for these 3 servers. It’s so crazy. I never have imagined this to be honest. It’s amazing that this has happened because it…
