Rye Off The Bat

In this episode, we tackle something alittle more sensitive and controversial. Do we take care of our parents/love ones? What happens if our partner didn't want our parents to move in with us, even though they are homeless? Too extreme? How much of support and compromise should we give? This episode can get alittle heavy and Chilli and I also do feel the "pinch" as we also dissected...

In this episode of Rye off the bat, I have that thought of how we always thought we can put a pin on it, to stop to pause; thinking that we can hop right on anytime. But in reality we are actually moving backwards; relative to the world as the world move on, relative to our body as or organs are aging.

In this episode of Rye of React, Chilli and I explored this episode of situationship of a story where the OP is dating this guy who fell head over heels thinking that OP is a female; however "she" hasn't share about "her" true sexuality about being a trans. It is not uncommon for things to take off really quickly when everthing seem to fall in place, however it is hard to h...

Own your life. This concept gets thrown around alot as we are "told" to be more responsible for our own life. This concept however isn't wrong; in this episode, I share abit more of my thoughts on that and how we tend to sway from this concept, as we could blame things on the "neo-natural" disaster. From overcrowded gym due to the June holidays or even taffic jams; so how f...

We all know beggars can't be choosers, but what happens when you decided to give someone and non-obligatory gift but it all turns for the worse when your gesture of goodwill and bought down a rabbit hole of chaos; as the receiver of the gift wants more? It's a strange world.

In this episode, I shared about my mental wellbeing and experiencing after going for a week on Prozac (Fluoxetine). I decided to try out Prozac after being on Setraline (hovid/zoloft) for around 1 year and find myself unable to adapt to the fatigue after the 2nd dosage. After hitting a low in motivation, my doctor encourages me to try something else again and this time I decided to say yes. I alwa...

In this episode of Rye off React; Chilli and I looked at this situationship of someone who got alittle too involved with her neighbour. It seems like what transpired made her neighbour to go for her time and again, not taking no for an answer and being very sure it was not just a one-time thing. Fun, Alcohol but sometimes things can get tricky if someone sees something else and feelings are involv...

In this episode of Rye off the Bat, I explore the difference between Naysayers and "Shouldsayers" and how the latter is harder to deter. It is easy to go against Naysayers; when their views contrast really easily with yours. But what about Shouldsayers? when their values and thoughts could blur so well with yours and even made you doubt yourself?

In this episode, Chilli and I stumbled upon this heavy story that unravelled alot more than we thought. How does one deals with LGBTQ friendship when the partner has little to non-awareness or is prone to say insensitive things? How can decades of friendship navigate through this; despite weddings being supposed to be events of bliss? It was a difficult one, but sometimes the world just needs to b...

A little rye of the bat; a poetry performance, a recap of my love, my birthdays and hello to my birthday present. Prozac.

Should they help bear the utilities and misc cost? What if they are financially doing not as well? How about what if they have kids? Should we take care of the partner's kid as well? In this episode Chilli and I dissected this interesting story of a dating couple whom both each have their own space. Out of kindness, one of them asked if they would like to share a place (paying for half her mor...

Take it personally, be responsible for your life; these words resonated with me and reminded me of this story that I'll love to share. It was incredibly hard and emotionally exhausting serving your friend as a realtor. This is quite a personal story and it still haunts me to some extend to this day, making me wonder if I wasn't patient enough or if I was good enough. And I took it personal...

(Trigger Warning) In this unexpected heavy episode; we actually contemplated stopping recording altogether but decided to push through. It was definitely alot more heavier than we thought we can handle but it also shed alot of light on how one, in the face of PTSD can seek help and how it was difficult even with help and how it also affects people around that individual. It was probably one of the...

"Even a lost man without a map need to start walking in a certain direction to get somewhere" This statement hits me quite abit during our real estate meet up and I decided to do this episode to share. It's not uncommon to be lost, but we always have to keep walking forward to find ourselves.

In this episode of ROR, Chilli and I tried to dissect this problem with the couple that surfaced on Reddit. Sooooo OP and his GF had a fight; you might think yea couples all have fights right? But when it becomes a breaking point for one of them to do something really alarming? Like selling your car away after a fight and for you to find out when the car is no longer here anymore. Is such reaction...

In this episode I decided to share a short snippet of my thought as I found myself indulging in pleasure lately; especially after therapy. I keep telling myself it's alright, just one more day, and the list goes on. It really just dawn on me that I, myself have been making excuses to chase pleasure and I haven't been loving and taking care of myself the way I wish I could have. Pleasure do...

In this episode of Skem of Dayum; XZ and I were back to reviewing and trying to find some of the latest good deals on Carousell! With listing as early as 2 hours old; we shortlisted the 4 best set ups to discuss, from as low as $600 to as attractive as $1300 inclusive of 2 monitors (1 of them 165Hz), a mic, and proper mouse and keyboard! So.. Skem or Dayum? You decide :3

In this episode, I discuss the weird relationship of how actions and control might be alittle paradoxical but it might not be too bad afterall if we take "action" first instead of control. Being a realtor it might be alittle harder than usual for me as I mostly find myself in an "over control" situation, where I got too much time for myself, and that leads me to procrastinate.

Everyone of us has someone from our childhood that we never want to cross paths with. Ever. It may be our of hatred, embarrassment or anything else down the emotional spectrum. In this episode we went through this viral story of this guy who actually met his childhood nemesis via a dating app and it was until things was going well before he had this realization she's the person whom he'd b...

Some days does indeed felt more tiring; when our mood swings the other way, we could feel more overwhelmed by things like a drained battery. It's as if our capacity for tolerance just went down. It was totally not what I expected when I was recording this episode, when I was thinking of something else; to see this as a phase, to tide through to be strong enough to let it hits us without going...

In this episode of Rye off React, Chilli and I explored an interesting story of AITA to discuss. What happens when we find our friend's partner or spouse's personality bad? Do we call out on them? Do we make our friends choose? Should we call them out just because it felt like our own red flag? Story actually came to a full closure at the time of recording, do stay till the end for updates...

In this episode, I want to talk about my latest trip to KL, which is also my first after so long. I really did think the traveller in me is dead; with adulting, my threshold of social energy seems to have gone down in capacity, but also I have stopped looking forward to travelling. However it is in this one that I noticed that I still love stories and adventures; though not as actively so, I still...

It is easy for you to say is a rambling of sorts after I'd seen a video promoting positive mental health. Nothing against these, just that sometimes it might be easy for people to say. To smile, to cheer up to be okay with yourself. Would it make it harder for one to feel related when someone who is aesthetically pleasing says "be okay with how you look like" vs someone who is less o...

In this episode, Chilli and I explore the situation of someone who is considering to break off her engagement after meeting a guy that makes her heart skipped a beat. It might sound crazy without deeper context, but going through the different layers we realized there are more questions to be asked before one commits. How can one be ready for marriage? How does the day after happily ever after rea...

In this episode, I would like to share a weird thought on how we should do what we hate. Isn't what we hate almost always out of our comfort zone? isn't it always the thing we hate most; and the reason we procrastinate? Sometimes it takes embracing what we hate or applying abit of what we love to make whatever we dislike alittle less "hateful" and we would eventually embrace this...
