This Feels Like Home. (Excerpts)(2012)

By Shah Rizzal

What is home? Home to some is a physical entity of such, to another could be a safe house, to a certain group of people could just be a temporary shelter and to the few could be an extension of the metaphysics beyond the trajectory of the mind and is a visual or physical comfort. I live in a place that houses my family that is not necessarily be a home to its occupant. Especially in Singapore where general housing are monopolized by the governmental body like the HDB, the shelter over our heads are never really ours to begin with.
