Teori kekacauan [prosa]
Pagi itu dalam perjalanan ke pejabat aku melihat kereta bersesak-sesak dan tiba-tiba teringat satu papan tanda di tepi jalan – “You’re not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.” And I laughed. You see, going to work at this hour is not a norm for me. Tapi dek kerana ralat kecil yang dilakukan manusia lain, aku menjadi punca kepada masalah komuniti. And I started thinking about all the little things in the world – about snowballs, the butterfly effect, the little corners of our minds that end up housing a tumour from a tiny anomaly. Jadi aku berhenti di kedai kopi – duduk minum sambil melihat kereta-kereta lain berlalu pergi. Hari ini, aku tidak akan menyumbang kepada tragedi. -Nadia Khan

Tentang macam mana aku sayang kau
Percayalah, kau tak nak tahu
Cuma yang perlu kau tahu
I care about you too much...
... to ruin you
— Gibran
Mungkin sebab Gibran, aku baca Chiling.
Dan semestinya sebab Ray.
Ada puisi/prosa yang menusuk hati,
Ada yang sekadar baca di angin lalu.
Potret nanti-nantilah aku warna,
Bila aku bebas dari waktu sibuk.

Moga kau ketemu
Si dia yang terus merenungmu
Dalam keselesaanmu
Tanpa jemu
Some were good but some were just too plain for me. It was not particularly engaging although a few of the pieces struck me; Soulmates, Tanggungjawab dan Puing. Overall I just could not connect to this, I barely highlighted anything and I don’t think it is very memorable for me. Incredibly underwhelming but it might be just me. You might like it. Or love it, even.

For a person who does not into poetry/prose before this, Chiling really open my eyes! Is it too much if I say I love you to this book? Hehe
