If I could stop the world

Photobucket

In the years to come will you think about these moments that we shared
In the years to come are you gonna think it over
And how we lived each day with no regrets
Nothing lasts forever though we want it to
The road ahead holds different dreams for me and you

In a year from now maybe there'll be things we'll wish we never said
In a year from now maybe we'll see each other
Standing on the same street corner
No regrets

Each and every end is always written in the stars
If only I could stop the world
I'd make this last

Sometimes goodbye
Though it hurts in you heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye
Though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though it's the hardest thing to say
I'll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye but don't you cry cause true love never dies

- Say Goodbye, S Club



Pardon for the recent, random emotional posts, but ah well. Life's like that isn't it? We all each have our highs and lows. There are days when you just let your emotions take charge.

Just feel like posting the words above because it's true. No relevance to my life or whatsoever now, but it was probably relevant at one time or another a long time ago. But S Club 7 was great.

Anyway I'm loving University Hall's Spinelli branch. I've visited there, twice before genes lecture and today with fadiah to study. I don't understand how NUS cannot build more cafes with nice ambience around especially when all I want to do in such a competitive, stressful place is somewhere peaceful and lovely.

I am so itching to buy a darn good, quality headphone with excellent sound and base quality for myself so I can just groove to my music. I love how the songs are being played at random especially when the songs I haven't been listening much are being played. Oh and Existentialism on Prom Night is just awesomeeeee.

Sing like you think no one's listening,
Sing me something soft,
Sad and delicate,
Or loud and out of key,
Sing me anything.



This post is yet another random one. I have to muster the energy for french test, it's probably the one I'm rooting most to pull up my CAP. But first I need a good sleep.

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 ...

Free

What does it mean to be free? It is to manage expectations and to let life unravel the way it is suppose to. Managing expectations does not equate to minimising responsible behaviour. Such would be impractical as the system of this life runs on the principle of accountability. We are accountable for our own happiness, for our successes, for our future and to a certain extent, the outcome of our decisions and actions. To be accountable means to take charge of our life within our capabilities and the means we have access to. To be accountable is recognising that we are proactive actors in our own lives. And hence to be free is to understand that we are gifted with this free will. And that we exercise our free will properly to make informed choices and to channel our energy for the desired outcome. May or may not happen the way as planned, but the beauty of this is to give it all it, and then to let nature take its course. Because if we don't and we dodge what is to come and ...

Living day-by-day, week-by-week

It has been an incredibly different year, and now we are seeing second waves in many parts of the country. The summer was great while it lasted, and now as I'm writing this, it is a gloomy, cool, rainy season. It's been raining cats and dogs for a week now, so I haven't been stepping out of my house as much. With the surge of cases, there will be stricter measures put in place as well, so it's been difficult to make plans ahead. If it is anything that defines the year, it is really about living life day-by-day, week-by-week. Taking life one step at a time. And despite so, life tries to go by as per normal. And once again I'm feeling another season of uncertainty, lack of motivation for constant self-directed behaviour and keeping up with energy. Maybe it is the turnover of season, with shortening of daylight hours, maybe it's my job, and maybe it is the effects of using social media, making me feel like my simple life is boring and pales in comparison, being awa...
