Laissez les bons temps rouler

Some things just had to be mentioned! Like say, last Friday night I went out with a bunch of crazy french class friends. Initially I had been studying and then around dinnertime, these crazy wackos were going for dinner (and I was still contemplating). So this Nicolas&Amey went to find me just to convince me and they LIED to me so that I would go out with them, saying that it was Yvonne's 21st "birthday"! So I obliged ok mainly because I did want to have some fun before the reading week and also because of the birthday! It was only at Ben&Jerry's that I found out it was a prank! IT WASN'T ANYONE'S BIRTHDAY! Tsk LOL. THANKS MAN guys haha! But I did have so much fun! And I totally have to mention this incident! We squeezed seven people in the car (so there were 5 of us sardined at the back!). This reminded me so much of India because we squeezed it SIX people in the tiny, auto rickshaw a few times! Suffocating to the max hee.

Anyway, during the ride, Nicholas who drove (i don't really know much about the road regulations) went by this way that would risk the car of being caught. So someone mentioned "Ok, hopefully there isn't any camera here" or "We'll be caught if there's camera here" (somewhere along these lines) and our dear dear JESSIE said this, "C'mon hide our faces!" and IMMEDIATELY DUCKED HER HEAD AND COVERED HER FACE BWAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHA. And then Alvin went like, "That's not how they catch you!". Damn hilarious please! So anyway we decided to ask Madame Francesca to join us for dinner (like a super random thing) but unfortunately she couldn't. Amey was also another joker, apparently he received these really valuable, delicious, excuisite mangoes from his mother (because he'll be staying on campus till the end of the exams), and he was all the way PROTECTING his mangoes like they were gold (everybody say aww) and refusing to put them in the boot! Ok, I'm gonna miss these bunch of people cos ALL of them will be flying to France next semester (except for me and Alvin LOL) for exchange boohoo. Whether I'll be continuing french next semester is another question.

Went to Manhattan Fish Market last night to celebrate Ais' 21st in advance! Full strength! Which is so rare this semester and so awesome :D Khai came with a completely new hairdo. Imagine a MAZE through his sideburns and his hair for the leece to go through *LAUGHS. Managed to eat my flaming prawn platter again and see the usuals!

And proceeding to the crucial things like incoming exams, uh.

24th April: Personality psych exam
28th April: Health Psych
30th April: Cognitive Psych
3rd May: Singapore Society

CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO END WOOHOO.
TILL THEN SO LONG I'M GONNA GO INTO HIDING :D

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...
