The Diary of The Deranged Writer
Where fiction meets reality, between light, darkness and absurdity.
OK. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?
Yes, I said in a previous post that I will blog more often before 2024 ends. And I also have a handful of recent stories (including my birthday dinner). But tonight, I just want to drink an ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero and relax. I want to enjoy this Christmas break more alone and with my loved ones.
I will try to make a proper long post tomorrow. Try.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone.

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?
I only have a few minutes before Saturday, 12am, so I would like to share one thing: Yesterday’s birthday dinner was the best one by far, and I’m still on cloud nine. One reason for its success is that I enjoyed a lovely dinner with my entire family and a few of my closest friends. I will write more about the event probably next week.
And because of yesterday’s dinner, I’m inspired to plan out next year’s birthday (yes, this early) and try to invite more people – more friends and a few more relatives. But then again, it’s too early. For now, let me enjoy this happy feeling while I still can.
Again, happiest birthday to me, The Deranged Writer!

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024).
Because it’s my birthday today, I wanted to wake up at 8am and write a lengthy birthday post. But I woke up at 9:30am and I got lazy writing. But what the hell… I should cut myself some slack because it’s my special day.
As for my other plans for the rest of the day, I will drop by my favorite cafe Satchmi and then look for available restaurants for my birthday dinner. I just hope I can do the latter before nighttime. Fingers crossed, man.
Speaking of birthdays, let me share my Song of the Moment: Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday”. I will definitely listen to this on repeat before I move on to my favorite bands’ classics like Coheed and Cambria’s “Welcome Home” and Foo Fighters’ “Walk”. (I might cry listening to the latter.)
Happiest birthday to me, The Deranged Writer!
