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??

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 ...

Reclaiming my voice

It has been more than 2 years since I published anything on this blog. I have written a few reflections quite abit during this time, but they are mostly in draft versions, probably reflective of the scatteredness of my thought processes, or the ongoing engagement with the topic which has yet found a proper resolve (or is there ever a resolve really?), or just me finding mere words to articulate my thoughts that are waiting to be entertained and possibly verbalised or written. 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 ...

Cycles

I found myself stopping in my tracks as soon as I was greeted by a view. There I was. Struck with awe and captivated by the beauty of the full moon. And a large one this time. So full, so bright, so round. Though a moon in its very physical form is full and round, we embrace this moment when we finally bear witness to this true form. Don't we have to see some crescents, quarters and gibbouses before we see the full moon? What a beautiful reminder from nature that it takes a cycle to be able to witness this beauty. And that cycles and processes are important building founding blocks of life. Like the metamorphosis of the caterpillar and the developmental stages of a growing embryo in the womb. Every journey consists of changes and processes. And we trudge along to finally reach to the end point; a beautiful end product, a beautiful long awaited destination and a beautiful final abode. A journey may be interspersed with days which seemed bleak and dark. But there is light at the e...
