Je suis malade!

Hello night owls. The reason why I'm awake was due to being cold; cold to the bones. I'm feverish yet I'm cold. I cannot sleep when all I can feel is warmness enveloping me and occasionally I will shiver. Oh God, please cure me asap. Thank goodness I've no school tomorrow (or later). I actually have heaps to do pertaining to schoolwork.

Me being sick throughout the entire weekend made me nostalgic. Perhaps I should do a study on sick people and the kinds of things running through their minds. I thought about past happy events, particularly, I thought about Paris. Reminiscing the instrumental songs played along the streets, it calmed me down. And the coldness of the spring breeze, reminds me of how much I loved the weather (except the rainy days). And when you look up to the Eiffel, there she stood so elegantly filled with love. I remembered how my friends and I used to be at the Louvre 7-8 am in the morning to experience the morning breeze while absorbing the tranquility there. We fed ducks and I remembered feeling so light and happy. I cannot think of any other reasons why I wouldn't wanna go there again. I wish I was there now. Paris, Je T'aime.

Reclaiming my voice

It has been more than 2 years since I published anything on this blog.

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
