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!

i can't, help me // more writing rants

So, if you've read my last blog, you'll know about the whole writing thing, and the $100 bucks and everything. I agreed. Because I want the money. Sue me. And I'm a writer, I can just cough up some 10-chaptered 12,000 worded story right up, can't I? It can be shitty, I shouldn't care; good book, bad book, I get the $100 all the same. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But noooo, apparently, I can't. I can't just write a shitty book. I mean, yeah, it's underdeveloped and shit, but I'm pretty sure all writers agree, when y'all start writing a book, creating them universes, and also all those little characters, they start doing crazy things all on their own. It's not just me, right? I just can't. Once, my English teacher told me to leave a piece of me in everything that I do, and that I do everything with passion. And I do, I really do. So, I can't just write something without putting passion into it. I'm a huge believe or doing what you love, lovi...

02. The Follow-Up to "01. Crushes"

As none of you would have realized, 01. is not present in my blog, because a certain someone, *ahem* Dienta *ahem* read it and bugged me about it and freaking about everything (a.k.a "John" possibly finding out and just going like, what? Even though he won't because I don't... really know him). So, I took it down. I'll give a brief update on the whole crush thing, though. First of all, I think I'm over it? Of course I am. It was pretty much a very virtual-istic and basically superficial crush. I liked the idea of him, the idea I had of him, so yeah. But, I'll still admit, any day and time, that he's cute, but I'm not looking for a relationship. Not with him, not with anyone, really. I'm, essentially, a child. And though many, many people find love or date people at the age of 15, I'd like to just... not? At least not now. Maybe in a few years. Maybe I'm not even single by choice and I'm just lying to myself and everyone else o...

eat at 18 review // foodie

(Hello readers! Before I begin with the actual contents of this blog, I wanted to quickly say, wow, I haven't posted in such a long time, but I'm back now and I have a new idea for this blog; I'm going to start a new segment called foodie . Unoriginal, I know, but essentially, that's all there is to it. I love food, I love eating it, I love taking pictures of it, I love talking about it. Alright, so foodie is pretty self-explanatory, right? Therefore I won't waste too much time explaining what it is, and instead let's just jump right into it.) Eat at 18 is an extraordinary cafe located in the heart of Malacca, a state in Malaysia and just today I had the immense pleasure of visiting it and here is what I have to say about it. Malacca is a historical city and the famous tourist magnet known as Jonker Walk has a bunch of really interesting buildings, some of them dating back to the 17th century. A lot of these shop lots have very narrow entrances but are very...
