When I was a young girl
When I was a young girl, I was really bad at math and science (still am). Initially, those were the only two subjects that I was bad at, but through my little eyes they seemed like everything, like they were the only subjects that truly matter, and so I felt really small... and stupid. I was told that I was slow and dumb; a loser with a bleak future. I got beaten up for failing exams and failing to memorize my multiplication tables. I started to fall back in other subjects as
Damned
Why do we think of the people who don't think of us? Why do we miss the person who doesn't miss us in return? It doesn't make sense. Time has passed by and everyone has moved on but me-- it doesn't make sense. I tell myself again and again; it's the memories, Wani. It's the memories. You are holding on to the memories. Okay. Fine. But why? And until when? This is ridiculous. I should not love someone this much. It used to be tiring but now I'm immune to it, so I am currently

Thought I'd share my next project with you! :) Kalau tahun 2015 & 2016 adalah tahun The Creative Co, insya-Allah tahun 2017 & 2018 adalah tahun Koleseni Ipoh. (Maybe it'll stretch longer? Who knows kan?)

Maafkan aku kiranya ada malam kau menemui dirimu sesat dalam balam belukar
gelap gelita
mencari jalan pulang
ke pangkuan galang dan ranjang. Maafkan aku kiranya ada lilah ruhmu tersentak keluar dari mimpi dan kau terpinga-pinga
teraba-raba
mencari jalan pulang
ke pelukan khayalanmu. Maafkan aku dan ingatan-ingatanku terhadapmu yang terlalu bebas berselerak
hingga ada yang terlepas masuk ke peraduanmu
menahanmu dari tidur
menyergahmu dari lena... Itu aku. (Maafkan aku
Pasca Kamar Rahsia
Woke up this morning still feeling so very disappointed that last night I didn't get to share my poems/songs in the form which I have arranged and prepared. Weeks of finding the right feel, composing the right melody, struggling to lock down the chords, practicing with whatever time I had left- only to find myself on stage empty handed, as the string of my guitar decided to break right before my performance. And so I sang with just my soul as my music. Begitulah. Kadang kita

Yesterday, one of my school friends lost her 3 day-old child. 9 months through pregnancy and the baby came out perfectly beautiful, then off she went into God's heavenly arms. Just 3 days old. I could hardly sleep after hearing the news. Hours later it rained and I found myself crying while driving, imagining myself in her place. As I age, I realize I have more and more girlfriends who experience stillbirth or miscarriage, sometimes again and again, and the strength of these

Tentang Manuskrip
Sharing this 'cause I receive writing samples every week! I'm sorry I can't speak on behalf of companies I have no relation with. Tak manis. :)
Submitting manuscripts isn't just about emailing. First, RESEARCH on the publishing companies. Lain syarikat penerbitan, lain gaya/tujuan. Kadang karya ditolak bukan sebab tak bagus, tapi tak kena dengan gaya/halatuju mereka.
Get to know them & their books. Find out what they're looking for, what the market's like. The moment you
