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?

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 ...
