Copyright © Fairuzuddin (Sir Pok Deng). All rights reserved. These writings are mine — stitched together from memory, imagination, and the ghosts of writers I’ve shamelessly inhaled. If you think you recognise a familiar phrase, it’s probably because I rephrased it, twisted it, and made it wear my clothes.
For the record, English isn’t my native tongue. My grammar used to stumble like a goat loose at pasar malam (night market). Enter ChatGPT: a machine I conscript to tidy up the mess since 2025, iron out the wrinkles, and make me sound less horrendous. The stories, thoughts, and tone remain mine — the commas and full stops sometimes aren’t.
So, in summary: this is my work. Inspired by others, filtered through my voice, rearranged in my head, and laid down here. If you copy it wholesale, that’s plagiarism. If you’re inspired by it, well — welcome to the cycle.
