Peonies take three years to bloom.

A good pot of sambal takes an-hour to make.

If we take some peonies and put them into sambal,

are we wasting three years of blooms?

Peonies into Sambal is a collections of poems about love found and lost, self-acceptance and discovery.

About the author:

Phedora spent the first 11 years of her life in Labuan, Sabah. In 2008, her family relocated to Kuala Lumpur. She has since spent 12 years in the city and can safely be labeled as a city girl. Phedora majored in human resource management at the International University of Malaya-Wales (IUMW).

Although she started writing at a young age, she only actively pursued writing at the age of 21.

Phedora has always wanted her debut as a writer to begin with a sci-fi novel, but life took her on a different turn and she fell in love with contemporary poetry instead. In June 2017, following the end of her long-term relationship, she started actively writing and sharing her poetry on her official page @phes.poetry on Instagram.

In December of 2017, Phedora self-published her first raw collection of poems (under the pen name Nori Ryoko) titled "#ShittyPoetry". It is a collection of poetry that revolves around love, heartbreaks, and slice of life. Since publishing her first book, she began dabbling in the art of spoken word. After graduation, Phedora is now working full-time in a corporate environment. She hopes to someday fund the dreams she has always been passionate about and take the leap of faith to realize her goals.
