K-Hole by Abdullah Zahir B. Omar
Mobility - the ability to move from one place to another, a journey. Mobility comes in two forms. Voluntary mobility, where you are in full control of the situation and choice of destinations, and involuntary mobility, when you are still on a journey, but are totally stripped of any decisions or opinions.

J’ai Pas Sommeil (I can’t Sleep) by Loh Wai Keong
“J’ai Pas Sommeil” was conceived in the Fall of 2005. A premature cold front, signifying an early winter, was upon Philadelphia as I entered my final semester of university. I had been away from home for over two years, and that season, an unmistakable absence lingered in the spaces of my life. It was a season of lost memories and last things. It was a season of displacements. “J’ai Pas Sommeil” was an attempt to encapsulate these dislocations: of geography and language, memory and desire. At its heart is a nocturnal restlessness, all at once seeking, all the while waiting. To be at rest in the perpetuity of motion. To find sleep.

A Lonely Man by Lee Chee Cheng
