Iranian

I just got back from attending this talk by an Iranian woman, who apparently can speak Malay. My mom kept harping about the fact she could speak Malay (this was before I witnessed it myself). But when I really got to hear her and realise the immense use of vocabulary involved, I thought she's excellent although the bits of inputs of Persian accent. Thought the talk was pretty good. Really like how her partner preached about sins. Uh somewhere along the line of how small we derive pleasures from the sins and forever will the mark remain.

Somewhere amidst the talk, I couldn't help noticing how beautiful these middle-eastern women are. A friend/acquiaintance expressed to me how stupid he thinks women wearing burqa are because it's unsuitable with such humidity and the hot weather. Like dude, look, if you think they're not showing off enough skin for you, I still think they're beautiful. Which is why I think they don't need much colours on them, just black.

And to Qeen, I am really loving My Best Friend's Girl. The read is really enthralling:)
And then can't wait to move on to Wednesdays Letters that ais bought for me. She's sucha darling friend who works at Borders, hahaha (:

I really need to collapse on my bed now.
Yawns.

I'm driven to write this post precisely because I can't entirely ignore the nagging voice inside my head, telling me to use writing as a tool to not only express myself, but to reclaim my voice. It is such an insanely noisy world. The constant stream of information from different online platforms not only pull me from various directions, but it spreads my attention too thin that it is impossible to follow one stream of thought, sit on it for awhile, slowly reflect and if possible, articulate it. It is not ...

Information vs. Knowledge

“To know how to put what knowledge in which place is wisdom. Otherwise, knowledge without order and seeking it without discipline does lead to confusion and hence to injustice to one's self.” - Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas This week's key takeaway for me is that; knowledge requires knowing its proper order and place.  Everything else is just information.

Infinity

unbounded to any definitions or limits, existing but not adequately known. this entity, being constantly talked about, pulls like an unbeatable gravitational force. we are always approaching, almost touching, existing in tandem, still, not yet meeting Infinity the eventual meeting where there are no bounds
