What is this fadhilah?

Just got back from Faddy's birthday dinner. Happy 20th my longest best friend! (: Hope you like the dinner, our gifts and lastly the cupcakes of which some are squashed which I believe is kinda my fault in an attempt not to be seen by her and the 'escourt' while holding the box of cupcakes. So as Eva and I went down the escalators towards the dhoby ghaut platform, the eyes averted, spotted her escourt. Uh, busted.

First instinct: To always run in any situation. In any case the birthday girl won't have to see the birthday planners.
Reaction: Quickly turn around and CLIMB up the DESCENDING escalators while everyone else wanted to go down.
Result: Failed
Reason: Speed of escalator was way faster than personal speed to go against the direction

This is lol-worthy yes eva? Why am I always the one doing stupid crazy things in public?

And you know what's the worst thing? Faddy actually saw me running away! All this going against the intentioned direction of the moving escalator, bumping into people and having some cupcakes out of place, it's totally not worth running away!

Days flew this week. Friday was spent jokingly being at loggerheads with khai the whole night while aiman watched us verbally 'fight' and only able to give us too many 'last warnings'. Being with these two dudes, I can totally be myself, be it spewing profanities, fight like no one's business, get crazy. I am entitled to be their what they call "braders"? And I allowed myself to entertain how they could roam about in circles at Bugis just to get a cab. Excuse? Aiman's limping legs. Reason for meet-up? Finding aiman's much needed spongebob water bottle (I KNOW RIGHT). And time flew just by bantering, eating, and.. getting a cab. Wasted Friday night but I guess this is the kinds of things I can afford to do before semester starts.

And zomg, ion orchard is totally crazy. And it's crowded in every sense of the word. Unlike vivo city, it doesn't have an open atrium, I can forget all about navigating the whole place. Such a turn-off. The only plus is that they have everything in there, even PROMOD! Oh and saturday bbq for abg's graduation was nice reminiscing the days at Paaralang Pantao. Smashing time.

Sunday; wedding yada yada.
Need to get some sleep (:
Niights!

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

Encounters

Oh who am I kidding? I wrote a post previously on the importance of mobility. But going further than that, it is the social encounters that make up the foundation of human experience living under this same canopy we call earth and sharing this home alongside others. To the first moment babies acquaint themselves with the world, having the first touch, hearing the sounds of a laughter, whimper, sigh, silent smile, and modelling on the external world to distinguish safety from danger, right from wrong, norms from exceptions. It is the everyday social experiences of walking out on the streets and seeing people doing their own thing - the mother reprimanding the child, the young man awkwardly fishing his pockets at the entrance of the bus, a fragile old woman taking her time to walk up the stairs, the sound of aggressive haggling at the market. And then there are those two close friends insisting they each want to pay the bill for the other, a group of boisterous teenagers disrupting your ...
