Living and Loving the Lonely World

Few years ago, the kid version of me used to be so sad whining around about being the only child with no siblings to care for. C’mon! I was too small to understand the social world and all I wanted is someone to kick and punch. My cousins filled in the shallowness for a few days every year, and it were the only times I felt the pride of being the youngest sibling. In the end, it was a daydream for me anyway. Whenever the young me asked the reasons for me being left out the sibling flock, dad...

First Redemption

Exactly a year ago, deep inside the blues, I was thriving on a dangerous edge. An imaginary line separating my apparent reality and the tangible reality of the universe. Indeed, it was the year where I hit the rock bottom of it. I wanted to redeem what I apparently missed and get that back with the awesomeness, double the level that I had the day before.

An only child cannot really share all the stuffs with his parents or close friends. That’s where my blog come in. A crazy bond between my words, a lonely reader like you, and a lonely writer like me. High five for that

The Inception of Dischafer

After a year of exhausted exploration in submarine architecture, wartime strategies, and design experimentation for my very first science fiction military novel Pacific Warriors, I was nowhere near to completing it in time. The first three chapters roughly spanned for two years. On one fine December’s evening of 2014, I decided to shelve it for good and locked my doodle book away.

Dischafer was born

A few hours later, I was taking some pictures of me with my newly bought camera. While...
