I don’t actually check my blog very often. So I usually don’t get to see comments made on any posts until several months later. My apologies to those who commented on past posts. Actually, this blog isn’t very public. You can’t access this blog from any menu on my website. I don’t make efforts toContinue reading “Comments”

Sometimes I google my own name, and I find that there are so many ‘Daniel Tay’s around. The most famous ‘Daniel Tay’ is the movie star who acted in the film Elf. I have no idea what he looks like. Then there’s the ‘Daniel Tay’ who started Bakerzin, sold it off, and went on toContinue reading “Daniel Tay”

I’ve been working on revamping this website. I needed some inspiration on how to do it, and I decided to take a leaf out of Rob Greenfield’s website. I went over to take a look at it and decided that I had enough material made about me to do the same as he does. ThisContinue reading “Website revamp”

I’ve been thinking long and hard about whether I should make this blog private. Usually we don’t like to show others our weak side, our dark sides. We prefer, especially in this social media world we live in now, to show only our good sides, only that which flatter us. It boosts our ego. ItContinue reading “Keep it real”

One of the problems I face is identifying myself with a cause, a passion, a job. When I worked as a church writer and found that because of my depression I could no longer write, I faced a loss of identity. Because if I was not a writer, then who was I? After that, IContinue reading “Who am I?”

Most times I see the sun only after it’s crossed the zenith, unless I see it before going to bed. But today.Continue reading “Today’s gonna be a good day”

I’m moving past the anxiety curve and switching back to depression. I spent the whole of the past 48 hours reading 86 issues of Batman (2016).

I felt really bad and I wanted to escape it. I sought refuge in video games, but I got bored. I sought refuge in movies, but I got anxious. I sought refuge in books, but I got tired. I found refuge in comics. I’m still there.

My mum asked me, “How come you didn’t go to M’s birthday?” “I wasn’t invited,” I said. “That’s… sad,” she replied. “I mean, you built up this community and now they don’t invite you to their celebrations.” “No, it’s good,” I replied. “It means they don’t need me anymore. That frees me. It frees meContinue reading “Moving on”
