just one spark starts a fire



A word's just a word
Till you mean what you say
And Love isn't love
Till you give it away
We've all got a give
Yeah something to give to make a change

Can't seem to make myself go to bed, in an hour's time I have to get ready for school, starts at 10 today.

How I exactly killed time from 6 am till now;

  • Clean the laptop (it's white hence easily dirtied)
  • Figure out the wireless bluetooth application in the laptop
  • Transferred songs I'm currently hooked to from laptop to handphone via bluetooth
  • YouTube-ing
  • Practise verbal french - but this is of no use because whatever that I speak are simple stuffs nyehhh.

And you know what I realised? Throughout the period of time I had unfortunately fell sick, which was about a week plus by the way, I have spent most of the time having my eyes plastered on the tv screen.

Movies I've watched within a week (or so):

  • You've Got Mail
  • X-Men
  • Bee Movie
  • Horton
  • 27 Dresses
  • Pizza My Heart
  • Mona Lisa's Smile
  • Premonition
  • The Proposal

I bet I watched more than that, just several movies I can think of right now which are mostly the mainstream ones. Totally wasted! I mean I can't really blame myself because all you want to do when you're sick is to pathetically lie down, but do you realise how much time is wasted when you fall sick? So lesson learnt is never, ever fall sick. And knowing that this can be pretty unattainable at times, then let's hold dearly to the classic advice that prevention is better than cure.

It has been a week since we had our first stats tutorial and we already have to form project groups and hand up our experiment proposal by next Monday. Talk about time catching up on us (it's week 4 OMG). But I enjoyed the group meeting we had yesterday nonetheless. It'll be our first attempt in conducting a research experiment within the tutorial group and we decided to carry out an experiment on how colour aids one's memory and ability to retain information. We had a grueling time trying to work within the hypotheses though. Please let it work!

Oh gonna be a long day today with lectures and tuition after that. By the way I got through yesterday! *beams
Hmm what shall I wear today??

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 ...
