Laissez les bons temps rouler

Some things just had to be mentioned! Like say, last Friday night I went out with a bunch of crazy french class friends. Initially I had been studying and then around dinnertime, these crazy wackos were going for dinner (and I was still contemplating). So this Nicolas&Amey went to find me just to convince me and they LIED to me so that I would go out with them, saying that it was Yvonne's 21st "birthday"! So I obliged ok mainly because I did want to have some fun before the reading week and also because of the birthday! It was only at Ben&Jerry's that I found out it was a prank! IT WASN'T ANYONE'S BIRTHDAY! Tsk LOL. THANKS MAN guys haha! But I did have so much fun! And I totally have to mention this incident! We squeezed seven people in the car (so there were 5 of us sardined at the back!). This reminded me so much of India because we squeezed it SIX people in the tiny, auto rickshaw a few times! Suffocating to the max hee.

Anyway, during the ride, Nicholas who drove (i don't really know much about the road regulations) went by this way that would risk the car of being caught. So someone mentioned "Ok, hopefully there isn't any camera here" or "We'll be caught if there's camera here" (somewhere along these lines) and our dear dear JESSIE said this, "C'mon hide our faces!" and IMMEDIATELY DUCKED HER HEAD AND COVERED HER FACE BWAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHA. And then Alvin went like, "That's not how they catch you!". Damn hilarious please! So anyway we decided to ask Madame Francesca to join us for dinner (like a super random thing) but unfortunately she couldn't. Amey was also another joker, apparently he received these really valuable, delicious, excuisite mangoes from his mother (because he'll be staying on campus till the end of the exams), and he was all the way PROTECTING his mangoes like they were gold (everybody say aww) and refusing to put them in the boot! Ok, I'm gonna miss these bunch of people cos ALL of them will be flying to France next semester (except for me and Alvin LOL) for exchange boohoo. Whether I'll be continuing french next semester is another question.

Went to Manhattan Fish Market last night to celebrate Ais' 21st in advance! Full strength! Which is so rare this semester and so awesome :D Khai came with a completely new hairdo. Imagine a MAZE through his sideburns and his hair for the leece to go through *LAUGHS. Managed to eat my flaming prawn platter again and see the usuals!

And proceeding to the crucial things like incoming exams, uh.

24th April: Personality psych exam
28th April: Health Psych

CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO END WOOHOO.
TILL THEN SO LONG I'M GONNA GO INTO HIDING :D

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 ...
