Rye Off The Bat

A depressing audio log that I guess I shelved in and decided to share. And every star deserve to shine, so love yourself more. 

i guess there are days that we don't fit in, and maybe that's okay. We all do have that different facades, and perhaps we are not the only one feeling together, but we are family.

Today we decided to get out of our comfort zone and decided to tackle a spicier version of confessions and it really did catch us by surprise. It was extra juicy, spicy with too much flavors that we normally have; but it was nevertheless eye opening and interesting to explore sexuality and such stories in a more open space, to share the different kind of normal, culture, and to be more open to acc...

In today's episode, I'll like to take a different approach to go about happiness. As many mention about happiness being hard to achieve, or seemingly impossible, I'll like to believe that happiness will definitely come. No matter what we do, it's always about delay or instant gratification, and depending on which we chose, that of course will affect our course of life; from long lasting happiness...

We didn't expect this recording of bonus round; semi NSFW version as we found some really "weird"/interesting stories and decided to hop onto stream again to do another round of recording. Are you an asshole for showing your sibling's onlyfan account to your parents? Setting boundaries to ask your friends to stop sending you NSFW content? How about taking justice in your own hands and screenshotti...

It's been not an easy year for me as I'm taking a step back otthink about my life and how far I'd come for this year. And I feel that I'd been making progress most importantly in work and recovery, and probably relationships. The last lap to be better, lets do this.

In this episode, I'm here to catch up with Chilli where we will be planning to react to some controversial social content in the digital world. It's been awhile but I'm glad we manage to pull off another impromptu podcast. Weight shaming in workplace by telling a coworker that she is fat? Lying to someone that your girlfriend is dead? Hating on your mum's new girlfriend? Calling the cops on the ne...

It might sound counter-intuitive when everyone is asking us to be discipline, to avoid temptation like lava. However, on the contrary I feel like it's okay to bask in some temptation; much like a gym rat's cheat meal. Life's short, we never know what the future holds (as most would agree), and I feel that it's okay to kick back and do what we want; though not all the time, but I also feel that as...

It was close to 2 weeks since I had been running, even though it wasn't exactly consistent. I tried my best to keep up, doing more stretching, and physiotherapy.  Never did I think I'll be doing my 5km soon (even though I keep telling myself I'll eventually do it). It was somewhere in the middle of my run when I hear this mantra in my head. "Do you want to lean against the wall and be comfort...

it was an amazing day...

In this episode, I share about how I have difficulty coping with setraline still as I felt very unstable after doubling my dosage of medicine. It hasn't been easy and probably it was also after I stopped taking for abit during my holiday and the crash happens after I got back to it. Difficulty Focusing Fatigue (really bad ones) Lack of motivation and discipline

In this episode we have White Knight and Chilli to start off our Genshin lore adventure! The Starfell area is a place by the cove where we start the game, leading us towards to Mondstadt. The surrounding area felt like places left by them, from an abandoned Amphitheatre that was one used by the nobles to force slaves to fight for sport (much like the Colosseum), and the mountains where the weather...

"Falling down is okay but remember to get up" I told myself that when I am currently losing some steam during work due to exhaustion. It's my first time handling multiple cases and with the other projects that I'm working on the side, I'm finding my hands more than full.  It was indeed timely when my colleagues decided to escape on a cruise trip. It's time to get back, to restrategize, to tra...

In this episode we have Chilli and Sugoi as we run around the town of Mondstadt, exploring the first city that we would arrive to as a traveller in Genshin Impact. With the European architecture, this moon city takes heritage from Germany yet also giving off a unique vibe of its very own. With a cathedral like La Sagrada Familia that comes with an echoes you use a skill, the secrets of Mondstadt n...

I decided to also upload our episode of Book Club Read here as this was our first Collab episode to get the book club going. In this episode we are reading Peter Swanson's Eight Perfect Murder! Come listen and join We, Lycando, Myo and Starriehime as we discuss about our afterthoughts about this book with as little spoiler as possible!

In our pilot episode of Rye off Teyvat, we go through the list of 10 annoying characters in Genshin Impact. There are always friends who can be annoying, from the Bipolar Bennet to the Hypocritical Diona who hates alcoholism but still works as a bartender. How about Hutao who keeps pranking, so what's a healthy boundary? In this Rye off Series, we explore deeper into Teyvat, and how it relates to...

Sometimes we are too caught up with everything and we just forget to take care of ourselves. From first world problem to surviving the rat race, I can't deny that we are in a materialistic world and sometimes money is (indeed) more important than happiness as the we take up more responsibility. Make time for leisure Be okay with failure and make the best out of it Really really get to it

A collaboration with Rye of the Bat, I decided to share my own life story of getting the courage to eventually getting a one way ticket of Singapore, to eventually seeing the world. In today's society, backpacking without any purpose is never really accepted, but he didn't let that stop him from dreaming and experiencing the world. Here's one bonus episode to all the dreamers! A great thank you to...

It was a recording well after I finished my 1 year worth of MAP (Realtor's training program) now, and looking back I found myself still on the journey of recovery still. It was a tough journey as I went beyond rock bottom from the accident.  It was hard working my way up from there, as my physical condition limits me tons of things. I spent most days at home, trying to get better, taking medi...

After our pilot sequence, we decided to keep this segment as part of our react staples as we dive deeper into the rabbit hole of "Am I the Asshole". Some burning question in this episode includes, should we have children? should we allow our parents to dictate if we should have one? What's your take on friendship reconnecting? So what's showing off, and what's being privileged? Is it okay to sit b...

After seeing my physiotherapist and after working out, I realize that I have been working out way too comfortable and I having been pushing myself. Sometimes we do need to make a conscious effort to keep putting ourselves out of our comfort zone; to see and adapt to new comfort zone. Other than that I decided to share 3 things that I'd learn from pushing myself further each time. Sometimes it's no...

Collab Reacts is here to drop our pilot episode of reading Am I the Asshole. In this episode, I'm here to catch up with Chilli where we will be planning to react to some controversial social content in the digital world. Are you an insensitive friend? What would you do if you received a gift you don't want? Do we have rights to unrealistic standards? Would you feel out of place if you were the las...

I heard this while I was talking to a tenant during a visit to my landlord's property and we started having more than just a chat; we started having conversations and exchanging life stories. It was something that hits me, as I really begin to dig deeper about how I may have let the world shape me, through mostly experience, especially unpleasant ones which made me more cynical.  Perhaps I wa...

In this episode of the book club reads in our Rye off Collab series, we have 6 fellow bookworms here to discuss our mid-year reads; The Last Encore by Julia Butler. An erotic literature that was messy but spends the last hundred pages untying the knots, the Last Encore is something that catches you off guard for bizarre reasons.  We decided to tackle this book as they cover certain sexualized...

I decided to make this an episode after hearing from a friend that we should just accept things as it is and I feel the opposite way, hence the need for an outlet. Being a victim of bullying, I know silence doesn't empower nor it does help us to cope in the long run. Sometimes we have to voice out what's ok and what's not. By having the courage to form a clear and active conversation, we are able...
