Dawn

It has been such a long time since I wrote a thinking, reflective post. The recent ones are just flashing thoughts that begged to be penned down so that I won't forget them. As much as each one are deliberate, it really is a long time since I sat down and listened to what the heart is saying, as though I have been living this life as a repetitive sequence of decisions, one day after another, hardly appreciating what goes on.

I feel like a chicken running in all directions, no particular vision or goal to pursue.

The Great Facebook Detox

Grand title for a simple post, that was.

For those who don't know, I had been away from Facebook for the past, hmmm, four weeks? Yup around there. The longest period that I had not signed in to Facebook. The last time was 2 days (click here) And I've survived! (Well duh of course!)

Initially it was quite hard to stay away from FB, but once the days went by (and there were other things to occupy my mind i.e. EXAMs) it didn't seem so bad. The only downside to it was that I don't really know what has been going among my friends, the pictures they uploaded, the statuses they put up, the teasing and chats going on. Just stuff like that, which I only know from people around me who talk about happenings in there. Just picked up the juicy bits from the people who log in.

Otherwise, quite unspectacular loh. :D the date until which I was to abstain from FB was the 5th of November, which of course is way past and still I haven't logged in, mainly because if I log in then I'll see gleeful statuses from people who have already finished their exams, then I'll lose my mood to study, heh. Also, there's no real inclination to log in anymore, since I've been so used to not logging in. Anyway, might as well cherish my Facebook-free life for a few more days, then I'll return to my games and photo browsing ways.

The Great Facebook Detox has been good!! ^^

Self Praise

Ok, so that is not the issue of the post today. Just wanted to share with you a little something of what happened this afternoon...

I got ready to attend an exam, and was chatting with a friend about the horribleness of the then-upcoming paper. Started telling each other how hard it is to remember all those facts all and one at the same time, oh, the usual gripes before examinations. Then I followed a coursemate who drove to the exam hall. Busy, busy flipping through my notes to see if I could get some last minute refresher's or something. We arrived at the hall and met some other coursemates, they too were joking around about the upcoming paper.

"Hey, sure you get A one right?" said one, extra sarcasm added.
"Ahaha yeah right, getting the reverse is more like it," shot back another.

Me: "Hey, but then A reversed is a 'V'!" and making the two-finger peace gesture and laughing at my own joke (not very quiet about it though).

Right after that: cold silence. I stopped laughing.

Me: "Ok... that was a lame joke."
Another coursemate: "Ya, good thing you know!!"

And the both of us started laughing our heads off. The rest all zoned out I think :P

There.
I said it.
It is the lamest joke that I can ever remember conjuring. Hehe

Birthday!!

Mati-mati also wanna post #2

Hehehe… wanna put in a few words on this “very nice” date. :)

I am thankful for the past ## years of my life. Indeed it has been an interesting ride. There have been lessons to learn from, with surprises at unexpected turns. So far it has been turning out beautiful, with extra education on the side =)

I am thankful for my family, for their support and presence. For teaching me manners, giving me advice on life issues, rebuking me where it hurts most but is necessary for maturity, for looking out for me, for showing concern for me, and yeah the list goes on and on…

I am thankful for friends, although I constantly forget to be a good friend myself. Oops… That’s my part of the education process I guess heh. I thank God for the gift of people, for they make my life interesting in a variety of ways *snigger* but honestly, that is a fact. I am glad for people whom I look up to, whom I give help to, whom I share thoughts and opinions with, whom I do random stress-relieving activities, and etc. Without people, my life would indeed be sordid and boring.

I also am thankful for random people who appear along my life's journey and left a lasting impression on me, even though the point of contact was brief. Either I cheered up their day or they cheered up mine. Little actions do count, after all.

I am thankful for my Creative Creator, for the privilege of knowing Him, and understanding this world through His eyes.



Btw. I had three pieces of paper delivered to me this afternoon, one was plain white paper, the others were pink and green respectively. Guess what they were. Sigh~ Exam papers!!! Ahaha.... oh well. C'est la vie!

I know...

When I'm stressed when I start eating a lot.

It's scary i tell you!!

First I'll have a filling rice-based main course. Upon which, I find myself not to filled up anyway. So, off I walk to the kuih shop for keropok lekor. Then, I get a drink!!

Yipes. hehe *sheepish grin*

*burp*

Astagar....

Lord have mercy.

A Riddle

What begins slow but progressively speeds past by?
What do you dread while it lasts but miss it when it's gone?





I call it my semester. And the time during one semester. It's nearly the end of the first half of 3rd year in uni! Gosh. How time flies. If only I remembered a little more of what I had been doing with the time.

Sorry: An Apology

Guess I should make an apology on behalf of a certain group to a certain reader. I guess that even though you did not talk directly with me, I am somewhat involved too. I realise that you've gone through great lengths to organise a gathering, in hopes that well, all of us could catch up. It must have took up some of your time from studying to discuss with your friends and liaise with people you don't really know. And then a certain gang potong stim. If I were in your shoes (and I have been in such situations before), I'd feel like shooting off some M16s too.

Well, just wanted to say thanks for trying to organise it, and while I feel that you're still not puas hati with us, don't be too offended alright. Gives you more heartache. Please, do forgive.


Thanks.
