To count your blessings

Today's blessings:

1) I saw my favourite French tutor after such a long time at AS1 walkway just now! So I stopped by for a jiffy for a nice chat. Ok the reason why I was so happy to see her cos I've always thought (and established) that she's a fantastic tutor. The way she explains things is easy to comprehend back then when I wasn't as passionate about the language and just simply taking french for fun. She's just so nice and sincere. It's great to have professors and teachers around who treat you like a friend rather than just a student.

2) I am done with French and Statistics quiz! Ok, two down, I have 3 more to go! Before recess week that is.

3) Spoke to Nisha during genes lecture about her experience in Delhi. Ok apparently now I know (much more than before) what to look out for when we're going to India this December! Can't wait though. Proj Nai Disha peeps are really a great, fun bunch!

4) I ate the nicest Nasi Ayam Penyet after what seems like the longest time ever! The sambal is to die for! It's spicy, hot and just awesome! What really dictates the sumptousness of this meal is really the sambal, hands down. And guess where my parents bought them from? The Aiman's Cafe! No, not my friend Aiman, but there's really this neighbourhood coffeehouse called 'Aiman's Cafe' which is equidistant from my house and Aiman's (my friend). LOL damn funny.

5) Today is by far the longest day of the week I'd have. Simply because I joined the Thursday's lecture for genes and society when my session is supposed to be tomorrow. Ah this is bad because tomorrow would be the last day I'll get to see MrEyecandy who is no longer a ForestMan cos he finally shaved! Ok I should stop digressing. Changes is due to the collection of passport tomorrow lol. So the blessing here is, I don't think the number of hours of classes I had today amounted to 8 hours (as it was supposed to be) because stats tutorial and abnormal psych lecture ended early! So lesser brain cells died.

6) Movies discussion with Ruiqi and Jiayee just like last Thursday (: Oh man, today no colour-coodination people, perhaps magic doesn't work anymore? Nooo!

7) Ok, I know I think this point is merely filling up the list here (lmao) but my french prof seems to remember my name very well now. She said it thrice today? So no more 'Fakinah' although that was just only once. Only once but the most severe. I've had 'shakina', 'sikin' (almost close to skeen), and some other closely sounding names but not that!

8) Kiki is back! For a study break that is. HAHAHA, this girl never really seems to be far away cos she's always coming back. Although I'd like to go to KL again!

I am SO TEMPTED to lie next to my mom and my sis, in front of the television, watching movies as what they are doing now, but I have 15 chapters of developmental psychology to study for by next Wednesday. And that is .... in F-I-V-E days time holy cows!

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
