Who is Claudia Khaw?

What a loaded question.

I'm a lot. I'm many things. I'm more than what I am not. I am a storyteller, a lifelong learner, a journalist, a lover, a person who embraces her thin skin and sensitivity as a strength instead of a weakness, because empathy and softness in a harsh world can be a good thing. I'm a writer in more ways than one because I want to leave traces of myself with immortal words, living on for decades and centuries to come.

I'm Malaysian. I'm a magazine journalism student in the University of Missouri-Columbia. I'm a daughter. I'm a music lover.

I'm a constant reinvention with the same core idealist values.

For what it's worth, I'm an INFP, I'm a Pisces sun, Pisces moon, Gemini rising.

My name is Claudia Khaw. Kuh-loh-dee-ah Khaw. As in raw thaw, saw, law and paw. Welcome to my blog!

So, this is a pretty impromptu blog post, because it's 2 a.m. on a Sunday and I haven't written anything in ages.  There's a reason why, of course.  As a journalism student, I've been getting a lot of advice from seniors, alums and professors to kind of build some kind of identity for myself online. But as someone who is pretty close to being a digital native (Facebook at the age of 7, Twitter at the age of 10, etc.), there's a lot of my history online.  I don't think I've really done anything shameful online. I've once angrily tweeted at boy band The Wanted because they threw shade at One Direction, but that was ages ago and you can't really blame a fangirl at the age of 11. Other than that, I've posted cringey stories, bad novels and pushy blog posts demanding reads and attention, but I've forgiven myself. In fact, I look back at my younger self and feel a kinship and would love to pat that version of me on the head and tell myse...

Introduction / / About Me

Hello there everybody! This is probably my... what, umpteenth? time attempting to write and consistently write/upkeep a blog. But, nevertheless! There is beauty in... persistence. Be it futile.  Anyways, here's a quick introduction. Hi, hi, nice to meet you, my name is Claudia, Claudia Khaw (pronounced as you would when saying raw, thaw, saw, law, and paw). Born in the year 02, a Pisces baby, a destined legend.  I like to write. I've been writing since I was 7. My first book was something along the lines of 艾利的故事, direct translation: Ai Lee's Story.  It lacked plot. And depth. And vocabulary. And logic. My next story was also in Chinese, titled, 姐姐的日记, which means My Sister's Diary. Juicy, I know.  I learned to love to write, and soon enough, it became my ambition. And it really still is. I love it so much, and partially it's because I'm good at it. I can fail at anything else, but writing is my everything and if I ever fail any subject or exa...
