First up, meet the stars a.k.a main characters:
Audra's tale is about holding on and being reluctant to let go; the loneliness of (possibly) being the only one who remembers, while everyone else has moved on.
As for Radhesh, his is an elaborate exercise of avoidance, though ignorance doesn't always prove to be bliss.
Meanwhile, Chen Hao's adventures raise the question of significance, and whether endings are truly final, or just new beginnings in disguise.
Lastly, Mastura's endeavours prove that logic isn't always the best rule of thumb, and that everything can become unpredictable in an instance.
And then of course comes my secondary cast, bringing along with them a touch of romance and a healthy dose of fierce friendship: Dahlia, Darryl and Wei Yin, Terence, and Alfian and Putri, amongst others.
Lastly, spot these essential themes in my very Malaysian story: Fillial piety, death and loss, delectable cuisine, lots and lots of hantu, quirks of living in a third world nation and not forgetting, a touch of magic and/or the supernatural.
Okay, that's all my brain has to offer for now. 'Till next time, toodles!
