The simple pleasures in life

In no particular order:

Making someone smile
Seeing strangers smile back at you
Rolling your tongue over heavily syrup-coated Baklavas from Turkey
Basking under the Sun on the Lazy River like a boss
Deep conversations
1-to-1 McNuggets
Baking something for the first time and then eating your very own product immediately the moment you've done your finishing touches
Licking cheese cream frosting from your index finger from a very fine tupperware
Watching Bean movie with the sister and laughing away as if it was the first time watching it
Taking your time to shop and trying on every single apparel you love as if you own the hours on the clock, on a perfect weekday
Roaming Town alone and going anywhere you want to
Seeing how your unread, good books are piling up and loving the idea of books waiting on you
Spending late nights just talking
Getting out from the bed to drag yourself for breakfast dates
Heading to the airport not only to send/fetch people, but really to just be at the airport
Seeing how people value your company as much as you value theirs
Eating whatever you crave for, like fried nothings, corn in the cup, almond pretzels, and every cuisine you like
Coming over to your friend's place just to fry French Toast, not for breakfast, but for lunch instead
Having a library book recommended by your father because he thinks it's the sort of book you would like to read to feed your spiritual need
Discovering new places, and revisit certain places to create new memories
Loving the view from your room despite seeing the same ol' view for 13 years of your life
Commuting on long bus rides and knowing there is nothing to rush for
Smelling an approaching downpour and being able to watch from afar how the raindrops actually reach you
Spending hours in the confines of the room just singing; just you and your awesome tunes from the laptop (and locking the door to make sure no one enters on your horrible singing!)
Just laughing; pure genuine, whole-hearted laughs
-

Happy 2012, all!

Back to basics

Once again the heavy downpour. Certainly the rhythmic sound of the rain, slapping against the floor, against the windows, have conjured images in our heads of the pleasant idea of sleeping, or reading with hot cocoa (but of course this wouldn't be possible due to fasting), or just snuggling up in bed. How nice. But here I am almost dressed and ready for school. I don't know why, but it has been quite some time since I felt like I've been in school, like proper school. Perhaps it's the three days mc I've got. But now, I feel like I'm energized despite fasting, all set and ready for school. The scent of cooking porridge and spaghetti made me all excited to get through 2 lectures, one meeting and a bus ride home back welcomed by the sumptuous breaking fast meal although I'd only be back by eight-ish. Today shall be the first in a long time I'd make an appearance in French class. It's been more than a week. Wish me luck that my temperature won't rise...

Coincidence helps you in some way

There's this guy who happens to be in the same stats and developmental psych tutorial as me, and we knew each other through those classes. So after our class yesterday, we happened to board the same bus, happened to go to the same place, and happened to need to deposit money as well. I brought half of my wad of notes from money I collected from Hari Raya and the money I received from tuition too. Anyway, thankfully for the guy, he told me that the machine does not accept 5-dollar, and 2-dollar notes and MAJORITY of the thick wad of notes I brought were. Can you imagine how stupid I would look if I were to put the whole wad of notes there and they would all be rejected? And I had FORGOTTEN about it, so dumb please. You know, families should give you $10 notes instead of $2s (HAHA). So geez, I only managed to bank in abit only. After everything, the guy had to go for his taekwondo classes and I'm meeting Qeen, AND after spoken about exams, exchange programmes, past schools, bad ...
