To count your blessings

Today's blessings:

1) I saw my favourite French tutor after such a long time at AS1 walkway just now! So I stopped by for a jiffy for a nice chat. Ok the reason why I was so happy to see her cos I've always thought (and established) that she's a fantastic tutor. The way she explains things is easy to comprehend back then when I wasn't as passionate about the language and just simply taking french for fun. She's just so nice and sincere. It's great to have professors and teachers around who treat you like a friend rather than just a student.

2) I am done with French and Statistics quiz! Ok, two down, I have 3 more to go! Before recess week that is.

3) Spoke to Nisha during genes lecture about her experience in Delhi. Ok apparently now I know (much more than before) what to look out for when we're going to India this December! Can't wait though. Proj Nai Disha peeps are really a great, fun bunch!

4) I ate the nicest Nasi Ayam Penyet after what seems like the longest time ever! The sambal is to die for! It's spicy, hot and just awesome! What really dictates the sumptousness of this meal is really the sambal, hands down. And guess where my parents bought them from? The Aiman's Cafe! No, not my friend Aiman, but there's really this neighbourhood coffeehouse called 'Aiman's Cafe' which is equidistant from my house and Aiman's (my friend). LOL damn funny.

5) Today is by far the longest day of the week I'd have. Simply because I joined the Thursday's lecture for genes and society when my session is supposed to be tomorrow. Ah this is bad because tomorrow would be the last day I'll get to see MrEyecandy who is no longer a ForestMan cos he finally shaved! Ok I should stop digressing. Changes is due to the collection of passport tomorrow lol. So the blessing here is, I don't think the number of hours of classes I had today amounted to 8 hours (as it was supposed to be) because stats tutorial and abnormal psych lecture ended early! So lesser brain cells died.

6) Movies discussion with Ruiqi and Jiayee just like last Thursday (: Oh man, today no colour-coodination people, perhaps magic doesn't work anymore? Nooo!

7) Ok, I know I think this point is merely filling up the list here (lmao) but my french prof seems to remember my name very well now. She said it thrice today? So no more 'Fakinah' although that was just only once. Only once but the most severe. I've had 'shakina', 'sikin' (almost close to skeen), and some other closely sounding names but not that!

8) Kiki is back! For a study break that is. HAHAHA, this girl never really seems to be far away cos she's always coming back. Although I'd like to go to KL again!

I am SO TEMPTED to lie next to my mom and my sis, in front of the television, watching movies as what they are doing now, but I have 15 chapters of developmental psychology to study for by next Wednesday. And that is .... in F-I-V-E days time holy cows!

Anything but ordinary

Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby Sometimes I drive so fast Just to feel the danger I want to scream it makes me feel alive To walk within the lines Would make my life so boring I want to know that I have been to the extreme So knock me off my feet Come on now, give it to me Anything to make me feel alive Is it enough to love? Is it enough to breathe? Somebody rip my heart out And leave me here to bleed Is it enough to die? Somebody save my life I'd rather be anything but ordinary please I'd rather be anything but ordinary please Let down your defenses Use no common sense If you look, you will see That this world is a beautiful, accident Turbulent, succulent, opulent Permanent, no way I wanna taste it Don't wanna waste it away yeah, yeah Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Hitam Manis

This is difficult to write, but it's definitely an important one amidst all the conversations we've been having lately. Growing up being brown/Malay wasn't easy, especially when it became ingrained in me that having a darker skin tone by default, is less desired than fairer skin tones. In childhood, I couldn't recall having to endure comments about my skin colour. Thankfully amongst children, these values ascribed to lightness and darkness didn't yet come to the fore. This consciousness became more obvious since secondary school. And it was tough and painful.  I've been in a sports CCA since secondary school and I couldn't really avoid not becoming tanned. What hurts the most was even my peers at that time would make comments about my skin colour without even realising the damage caused from these words. These comments I recall, were sometimes made under the guise of humour. I was called 'budak hitam' (literally means 'black child') and even ...
