Occurence

I promised to blog if the plan to meet Syamim happened. So it did. I'm only blogging about it now cuz I didn't have a good time to sit and internalize what I got from the meeting.

1. I didn't see her for over 4 years. We met in KGV and were placed in the same class in form 4. We were both new in the school. But Syamim had things a bit rough for her at the school. Mostly it was due to her appearance and the kind of peers she mingled with back in her old school.

2. Only some knew the conflicts she had in herself in order to get accepted there and horrible things some students decided to pull on her. It wasn't fair and didn't seem rational in any way possible. But they were school kids and none of us knew any better. She never really fit in.

3. But she stayed. Being a new kid in school was not a pleasant experience especially when people there already have their own groups. It makes socialising harder. Breaking the ice took over a year. Lol. But I was lucky, I never really had much problems fitting in. Most of the emotional distractions I went through was probably due to hormones and dialogues I like to have in my head.

4. That was just a bit of what we had to go through. Our experiences were not exactly the same but the main thing is it's hard to break the wall between new and old students.

5. SPM was not a good experience neither for me nor Syamim. I forgot how to study like I read stuff but it didn't stick in my head. The thing is, things may be bad for us during SPM, however, Syamim has changed. She doesn't know the existence of my blog but I'm telling you guys what she's like now.

6. She's a neeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrdd. Eek. HAHAHA! She was grateful when she got to do her diploma in Kedah which is like far from Seremban and she got to start fresh. No one knew her and she worked hard. Now she's doing her degree and she makes notes even when she goes back home.......... those notes aren't for exams, just for her reference/understanding (I guess she's doing another set of notes for finals??). Um, she's determined and nerdy. Grades all flying colours. Lol.

Just some pictures of us.


7. We caught up on many things; life, expectations, college, friends, family, changes and cultures. It's gonna take some time if I am to elaborate all of these. So, maybe some other time. One post for one topic. And it's not gonna be entirely based on this meeting. Just my opinions about these things.

8. So our 3-day debate bootcamp ended today. I learnt so much. To be honest, the reason my progress has not been rapid is because I don't do stuff. I didn't take time to reflect on debates I had. The only effort/change I made was read some from bbc and fb articles which are pathetic. Like I didn't put my head in the game I don't know guys. I just feel like I couldn't care less about debate. Bleh bleh. I saw the path I should take to get there or I got the glimpses of things I should grab in a debate like how do you come up with real questions about the debate, analysis a bit off cuz I don't do extensive reading and *okay I wanna say manipulating too but I don't think it's a good thing but yeah, manipulation ;P*

In short, I am not giving my all. But now I want to change. Let's just try and see what happens. Penat jadi loser. :(

9. Another thing, I had a strong urge to destroy my drawing just now. What even. I feel like I have been bottling up so many things in me I am barely able to hold them in anymore.

You know. I just want to let go. Fuck, I wanna go for a swim and tire myself so badly so I won't even have time to overthink!!

I am so tired of not being able to properly express myself. I always feel angry at some people for things they do but when confronted with, I just turn mellow. I feel like it's not the best thing to do (getting angry) but then later, all these things slowly eat me up inside when I don't let them out. And I go depressed. I just feel like leaving everything and be gone. GONE!!


Rainbow Sprinkles & Everything Else

Heyyyy,

I am totally at loss for words. I forgot how to blog hahaha.

1. I told Farrah I was going to blog about my resolution weeks ago before starting my new semester but of course, I did everything else but blog. There's something nostalgic about blogging cuz it's what we liked to do in high school and so many memories I'm not willing to delete.

2. Third year of law school is crazy. I'm only into my 3rd week of school and I'm already running around confirming things and rearranging my materials for my final year project and catching up with bucketload of stuff in class, a tournament I'm organizing this October and reading and drawing. I need to catch my breath. Maybe I'm taking things a bit too seriously. But I really don't wanna flunk my studies.. AND I WANT TO GRADUATE. HELL YES.

3. My diet progress is not going well (not like it has ever gone well), I am not sure about my stance in this because many other things are already time consuming for me and it's hard to be conscious of the food choices I make too. Okay, I will just do my best then? I don't know. KIV

4. Reading challenge is a mess. I'm still stuck at Vanity Fair by William Thackeray for 2 months now, the story isn't bad but maybe the length of the book kinda hampers my pace. You know when you have a gazillion other things to focus on and another 900+ pages to read, um, yeah no.

5. But hey guess what. I'm into make up now! Like whut. How did I even get here. I don't know guys maybe ever since I look like a corpse without makeup and people keep pissing me off asking me okay or not. I am super tired of this shit. Maybe there's something fudging wrong about my expression. I feel like slapping those who keep asking me okay or not every 2 seconds. Ugh, super moody. Okay stop ana. So, watch the video I made it's not funny, gets boring at some point but MAKEUP is the antidote to how to not look dead! Those boys who complain about girls with makeup, Fathanah doesn't like you cuz you guys are two-faced.

  

6. Okay so let's get to the real thing; my plans for this semester. 
  • Attend all classes and tutorials. *pander lecturers*
  • Write notes in class or you'll forever be sleepy.
  • Stick to motivating friends, ditch useless, demoralizing ones.
  •  Improve yourself spiritually (make efforts to go to constructive religious events - ones that aren't politically motivated and extreme in their views).
  • Start winning debates already (I am outraged by the fact that I still get shit speaks for debate).
  • Try to get involved as much for charity events.
  • Get fit. (I'm suddenly feeling so much hatred for this resolution, it's been 5 freking years, the same thing over and over T^T)
7. I am sorry for the negative energy. I just realised the amount of pent-up negativities that I have. I have so much complaints.

8. Anyways, eye candy!


I have a plan to meet Shamim tomorrow and I really hope it won't get canceled. So if it's not canceled maybe I'll rant again here tomorrow about our meeting, if not, you probably have to wait another 10 months for a proper update.

Toodles.



Fearlessness shall be our secret weapon

I was watching The Fault in Our Stars last night when a memory struck me. There's a particular scene in the movie when Hazel told the parents she was worried about what would happen to them when she dies. And the journey to Amsterdam to see Van Houten was to get the answer on how the other characters in the book move on after Anna dies.

From all this, it became important to know how those people will get by once we leave this world.

There's a particular memory when I found out that my uncle whom I'd been very close to passed away. I swore to myself that I would not cry and be strong for the family. How tough it must have been for my cousins who were still young and in school to survive days without the presence of their father.


At the funeral, I asked her, "So, how are things gonna be after this?" and we both broke down in tears. And she said, in the midst of crying, "what else, life must go on.". At that point, I admired her strength.

It has not been an easy journey since then but we all are surviving.
