Ten things

I like lists today.

1) I noticed that it has been pouring on every other Friday morning, maybe in the afternoon (or just evidences that it rained).

2) The rumblings of my stomach have been heard by joy and jamie. But thank god they're friends and not strangers if not I'd just pretend the noises didn't come from me.

3) I am not prepared for raya at all.

4) I am more excited for recess week than hari raya; but we'll see again tomorrow if the see-saw tilts the other way.

5) Am happy to spend last night with nuurun/aalok/sieg/salihin/firdaus (except for mumu) after a long time! We're on the way to building a team guys (:

6) Is here to say that good sleep is predominantly a determinant of your mood. So now I'm pretty happy because I had a good one.

7) Is dissatisfied with stats quiz marks, and performance of french test (because I think I made silly mistakes I only realised after the test), but it's ok! Moving on.

8) I am sort of sad that my ramadhan has been fast, I think it's because I've been sick for days. Nights of Lailatul Qadr had been beautiful too.

9) Is looking forward to good food, and although I haven't been responding well, I'm excited to jalan raya with the usuals, maybe the pj gang, to nuurun's place with the rest of the peeps, and inviting people over! (:

10) Hereby, despite all that above, the equation for next week will be: study > fun BECAUSE.... the readings are neverending, unless a miracle happens and I don't have to read 'em. Hmm. But knowing me, I might succumb to some fun, so some kind soul please help me adhere back to my original plan?

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

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
