Apres une semaine..


Some weekends can just be.. that.
  • I love Wednesdays simply because of the lectures (cognitive and personality). Great lecturers we have. Personality's fun, can't believe the lecturer claimed himself not to be humourous when he could do unique extraordinary things that lighten up the atmosphere; like throwing his stuffed toy to the audience and whoever caught it had to answer questions (like filling in the blanks from his lecture notes) and randomly picking 5 names from the lecture group to do some personality ranking demonstration. We all freaked out, in a good way, lol.

  • Met up with bala, lina & aishah on Wednesday. Was awesome meet-up, it was like taking a walk back to the memory lane because we were talking about all the things that happened in secondary school! Crushes, how some of them really made us swoon (geez), who's with who, charming-looking teachers (Mr R & Mr S!), the bi-atches of the school, hilarious antics (of Mr G & Mrs K), how we always slacked off during Lit class, awesome council days, and the many high school drama (and pranks) you can imagine! Nothing can really beat secondary school adventures. Where days were just filled with all the innocent fun and the carefree days, oh how I miss.

  • I love that Chewy Juniors have $1/purchase discount exclusively for students! But aishah & I learnt that you can never look pretty when you eat Chewy Juniors. One big bite and next thing you know you have cream all over your mouth.

  • Mdm Francesca has been pretty cool lately. Not only does she let us off ON TIME on most days (which she never did last semester), she lends her french DVDs to the french 4 cohort, which is just so awesome!

  • Nuurun & I were so high on Friday night, we don't even need alcohol for that. Like moving to the beat of Mediterranean songs, laughing at Amey's Einstein-inspired hairdo (lol) and chillin' out with them + adit & aalok. Chillax session to the maxxx.

  • I've never come across really cool, good group page in Facebook until recently. It's called 'Overheard at NUS', really awesome group where students share interesting/bimbotic/funny quotes and shenanigans in lectures and around campus (especially in toilets with people talking so loudly to be overheard). And bulk of them contain quotations by lecturers, interesting :) Some excerpts:

    Back when I was in first year in uni, I took Chinese Level 1. Our composition test was coming up and I emailed the teacher asking if the characters from lessons one to four will be tested. She replied (and I quote): Dear If you enjoiy to write a good Comp so characters very impotent too. Lao shi

    Lecturer shared this during a journalism class. her editor told her this when she was still a junior reporter: "Don't ever assume. because that will make and ASS out of U and ME.

    A certain LS lecuturer: (Referring to the use of anabolic steroids) "Women develop more manly characteristics when they over-use steriods. (points to picture) Smaller breasts, more muscular. This woman is not my type. Even viagra also cannot help me." *pause* "I am still strong ah."

    2 students walking around AS2 looking frantic, guy comes over
    guy: hello do u know where is the biolab???
    me: there's no biolab here.. this is arts..
    guy: *shows me paper* it says it's at S2 what!
    me: ya but this is AS2........
    guy walks away and tells his girl friend "i feel damn dumb now"


  • Met up with dearest qeen for catch-up at Lot One. We made sure the whole k-pop craze has gone, at least, after Shinee has left. The last thing we want on top of the Sunday crowd at Lot One is a mob. One of the randomest things we talked about today is James Marsden in Enchanted, LOL.

  • I love how the moon appear to be so close to us nowadays. So bright and huge :) I love looking at the nightsky, the moon and the stars. Reminds me of how tiny I am right here.

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 ...

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
