It has been a long, long time...

Due to many personal reasons, and those were the days when my internet connection is slow, ridiculously slow to the point when at some point I tried to post, everything goes missing in cyberspace. For writers, it's a huge dilemma. Imagine when you typed several chapters and tried to save, and say...A thunderstorm cut off your power before you could hit the save button

              
Whar's been going on? Well, I've been busy. Back in 2018, I entered a crime fiction competition with only a six-month deadline. Now, keep in mind if you have been following me throughout my blogging days, I have NEVER, ever written a crime fiction novel. Uh-uh. Nope. Nada. Zilch. 

(Even as I'm writing this now, my net threatened to cut off...)

So with six months in the deadline, I got to do RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. Writing crime is a different thing altogether. I wanted to break a little of the norm, I don't want it to be the typical crime novel with the detectives and all. And I already got one out back in 2012 that involves supernatural. Long story short, I submitted it, didn't win, but I self-published it in print form. I'll share the story up in my website, because this is not the place to post about it.
 Fast forward to 2020, it was supposed to be Wawasan 2020, but the CORONA VIRUS (If you have been living under a rock, go and google it right now or just check your local news) had hit the world hard. Most of the world is in a lockdown, and that includes my side in early March. A lot of people had requested me to upload a diary throughout the lockdown journey, which I hesitated. Because it's been a long time since I uploaded this blog, and I'm thinking, who on earth would want to read about it? But after much requests, both in email and in person, I thought...Well, I can just give you the brief idea. It's not exactly blood pumping, because my side is rather silent. 
Without further ado...
