Sepulchral
It’s been awhile, hasn’t it?
750 Word Challenge – Sepulchral – with the atmosphere and feeling of a Sepulcher, where the dead are buried.
This one was kinda fun, and also extremely overdue.

or What I Am Looking For – A Documenter
Running alongside What I Shouldn’t Look for (in the girl that I’d eventually marry), I thought I’d supplement that with the flipside. It’s obvious that there won’t be a comprehensive list of dos and don’ts, musts and musn’ts, but I figure it’d be fun to highlight things that I would love to have.
Restoring Hitler
or Easy Judgment : Rehumanising a Misappropriated Man.
In the moral realm, the word bankrupt has an even more disparaging
connotation. To say a person is morally bankrupt is
to say he or she is completely devoid of any decent moral qualities.
It is like comparing that person to Adolph Hitler. It is just
about the worst thing you can say about a person.
One of the things that really grinds my gears is how we’ve made Adolph Hitler a social standard for evil and the scapegoat for our own moral shortcomings. Calling Adolph Hitler morally bankrupt or comparing one to him is looking at things in the wrong way, but is also tantamount to a little something I like to call divertive hypocrisy*. Yes, that’s you I’m talking about – and me.
750 words is a writing challenge that’s horrifically overdue, as I’ve been catching up with the new job and had really been so uninspired to write it wasn’t funny. The last challenge has finally reached completion a hundred words shy.
Gumption is a word for enthusiastically performing an act.
or Jesus Would Not Have Marched With You
I was pointed to your impassioned letter on the Micah Mandate, and was impressed. I can see how passionate you are about the political and socioeconomic future of Malaysia, and must say that I very much wanted to agree with you – Jesus, the firebrand preacher, would be marching down those roads being tear gassed and blasted with chemical water alongside the congregation of Bersih supporters – 1 Malaysia.
I couldn’t.
750 words every two weeks (or so, we’re not the greatest at keeping time). A challenge that I do with a friend to hone and improve our writing. I think we intend to write novels and all that, but it’s good to get the practice either way. This challenge revolves around the word Pullulate, which is a fancy-shmancy word that OpenOffice Writer doesn’t recognize for breed or spread so as to become extremely common.
I apologize in advance – I’m a hundred words short but couldn’t write anymore without giving away the dynamic of the piece. It may also be a little confusing for some of you. It’s sort of a bible-themed fic this one.
or From The Broken, To The Broken.
Attached here is a short sharing I did for Missions week in my old Christian fellowship. It is as true today to me as it has always been, and I share it here today not just because I don’t trust my old blog to hold it for very much longer, but because it bears repeating to you, and to me.
I wrote an early thought about the Pentax Q on my work website. It’s wholly possible that it’s aimed at tech people and photographers, but I could be wrong.
Pentax Malaysia, I demand you hire me.
So, after a long period of time, we’ve brought back the 750 words challenge. All we do is choose a word of the day (sometimes very hard ones), and write a 750 words piece. This one was quite a bit harder (my fault). Cognate is actually a very technical linguistic term that’s about literary words having similar roots. I’ve bent it a little for this piece, and to be honest it ended very differently from what I originally intended.
I wrote a review/article on a fast SD card on my work blog, but it’s more article than review. Check it out
