Dear Diary,
Tonight I’m feeling so sad. I just woke up from my sleep and nobody besides me. I feel sad. I think my roommate is sleeping outside tonight. I know I’m supposed to accept the fact that she’s leaving me forever, for real, for a better future.. starting from tomorrow.. but seems like I can’t accept it. Just yet. I know that sooner or later I’ll have to accept the fact that she’s not here anymore. But for now.. I’ll just gonna cry myself to sleep. Oklah bye!
Happy fasting, folks.

Company Team Building 2019
Heyya fellas!
You won't believe what I'm about to tell you. *Drumroll*
I just came back from our company's team building, and I just spill everything in my journal. However, feels like I still have some more to spill, and I don't have enough paper. So, here am I.
It was held last week, at Royal Belum, Perak. We went there by bus, had to take the bus early in the morning on Friday. Basically, only 50% of the staff joining. And I like that! I don't like people, so it's noiceeeeee. Everyone gets to sleep for like... an hour on the bus. It was very thoughtful of the OCs, to let everyone sleep after woke up that early.
We arrived there around 10:45 AM, and we straight head to our boathouse. Bus A goes to Boathouse A, and B goes to B. We all gather on Boat A for briefing, while the boat moving towards somewhere, I don't know where. In our common language, we can say... we're looking for a place to crash in(?) Oh ya I remember, we're looking for a place to park our boathouse! Because it shouldn't be moving in the dark. We don't want our boat accident with some random dead dried tree that strikes from the bottom of the lake, don't we?
They told us that the lake was basically filled with water by the hoomans. And previously that place was a hill/mountain. So those old dead dried trees actually still attached to the ground, which we can't see the ground anymore due to the water lake.
There was no service at all! Digi has no coverage in that area, and we're totally cut off from the outside world. But somehow, I had no regret joining this team building. Everyone literally socializing very well. We talked! Like face-to-face with God-knows-where-your-phone is...

Five Feet Apart
by
Rachael Lippincott
“I'm tired of living without really living.” - Stella
Stella, a bright and optimistic seventeen-year-old, who has been dealing with cystic fibrosis (CF) since childhood. Her life is full of routines, medications, boundaries, and self-control. She even organizing her pills into perfect color-coded rows. Basically, her sickness turns her into that.
She decorates every inch of her room, turned her corner of the hospital into something of a second home since she basically spends most of her time in the hospital.
She also designed an app to put together detailed to-do lists for each day, and live streaming her treatment sessions every single day.
“Everyone in this world is breathing borrowed air.” - Will
She makes friend with maternal head nurse -- Barb because she always went there to see the babies, from the outside. She also has a gay best friend named Poe, who's also, a fellow longtime patient.

“Everyone in this world is breathing borrowed air.” - Will
She makes friend with maternal head nurse -- Barb because she always went there to see the babies, from the outside. She also has a gay best friend named Poe, who's also, a fellow longtime patient.
One day, there's this impossibly charming new kid came in -- Will.
He is sarcastic, yet smolderingly handsome. He has the same illness with Stella and Poe, which answers why he's in the same hospital with them.
He's been selected to undergo an experimental clinical trial. However, his vaguely rebellious attitude towards the treatment is kinda a test for a hyper-disciplined Stella.
“I’m not going far. I’ll always be here. Just an inch away. I promise.”
Will's attitude was the reasons why Stella staying away at first, but eventually, that's what makes them closer as they grow warm to one another through a hurried on-again-off-again courtship, striking quid-pro-quo deals, FaceTiming each other well into the night, and inevitably hitting speed bumps as they brush up against each another’s secrets and traumas.
Their illness putting a restriction for them that they have to maintain a safe distance between them, and that's kinda impossible for Stella and Will, as their connection has intensified after those flirtations.
“I’m tired of wanting things. We can’t have a lot of things.
But we could have this.”
Then there comes the "six-foot rule", a safe distance that needs to be kept between people with CF to avoid cross-infection. This is a particular concern when it comes to Will, who is infected with dangerous bacteria, and vastly increasing the risk to Stella should she get too close to him.
So, not only they can't kiss, they can't even hold hands.
“If I’m going to die, I’d like to actually live first. And then I’ll die.”
The cute part is, they use a pool cue to 'hold hands', yet keeping their safe distance at the same time.
It's so cruel when the only way to stay alive is to stay apart, at least for them.
And if you're wondering why the title is "Five Feet Apart" when the rules call for six, you gotta watch this film by yourself, or read the book. I can't help until that.
“If this year has taught me anything, it's that grief can destroy a person.”

P/S: I watched this movie with L, at KLCC. It was a tough decision when we had to choose either to watch this movie or to go to the Petrosains, which ended up we chose the movie. No regret at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
