I'm telling myself that if I ever go up to the ship again someday I wanna make sure I'll have a fulfulling journey. The kind which I'll bravely face and put up with the storms. The kind which I'll witness how it moves day-to-day with so much passion and intrigue. The kind which I will vow to never be afraid to exude sincere happiness and joy and to always give my fullest. To give, because giving is such a beautiful, self-fulfilling gesture one can ever perform. The kind where in times of wreck, I will always fight for that ship and although it's an easier task to let go and just drown, I'll muster enough energy and courage to survive and hold on to that ship. The kind that no matter how others see it, I will only see beauty and love, and nothing bad can tarnish it. The kind with lifelong learning experiences and where I learn the most from. And most important of all, the kind which I learn to never look back with regrets and embrace all challenges ahead.

Because I believe you can learn and you also have another chance to give it a go. You and your renewed self.

I've been having way too much fun this week (woohoo!).
And I hate to say that it's the recess week and it only means that it's time to study. Should eliminate all distractions and laziness. At this rate, tough task no?

On a happier note, I hope everyone's enjoying the long CNY break. Happy Chinese New Year to whoever's celebrating the new Tiger year!

To Alvin's tomorrow! :)

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

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 ...
