Anticipation


Stars - On Peak Hill. Interesting animation/vid.


The weather's been pretty rainy, but that's awesome. Sets me in a very good mood. It's Sunday! Like a nice, soothing lullaby, the pouring continuous rain made me slept through the whole morning till noon. Well I guess it's been ages since I've found myself waking up anytime beyond noon. Went out with a bunch of french class people yesterday. Tried to finish up things by today but the weather's just too comfortable :) Finished reading my novel and I'm in love with yet another character. Before this I wrote stuffs on academic woes and such but I decided to delete those because I hate to have my blog to be heavily-filled with my academic life.

Although my summer break seems to be uncertain in terms of activities and plans, I am really looking forward to it! There are some stuffs I'd really wanna do and feel so excited about, but what is it really? Like I said things are uncertain, I could be doing an internship, or simply a part-time job. Or go on some trip? Most importantly I wanna do things I've been meaning to do, like to cook and bake. And hopefully I'll be involved in the YOG too, will be a great experience! And the list goes on. I just want to do things without having to rush. I just had a great conversation with Lina on Friday night and we agree that being in Singapore constitutes rushing like 90% of your time, which sucks. I remembered the laid-back KL trip to see Kiki last summer and the 3 of us stayed up late and stayed in bed till noon like no one's business. And then we'd head to Pyramid to savour the great food and just hang. Damn. Although time leaps like a bullet train now, I simply hope the summer will come soon! Not saying that I want school to end, I actually love this semester's modules the most. Like I am temporarily a health psychologist, an expert on personality styles and cognition, and one who speaks some French and is very critical on Singapore's society, ha, rrrrrrright. Lame.

We're saying 'summer' as if there really is such a season in Singapore. Haha. But that's what they call it, *shrugs

Anyway, in general, I hate word limits!

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 ...
