... ah yes.. a blog ...

its not that i forgot that i have a blog.. its just that i have no ilham (ideas) to pen anything down. n i attribute this to.. school. its so routinal... it's like living a day over n over again....

ok here's a couple of thoughts that i thought about over the weekend...

1. job. what am i gonna do after i graduate?? if u ask me, i really have no strong interests in anything at allll... ok maybe im exaggerating a little bit.. but... im really at a lost as to how to plan the next few or ten yrs of my life! its pretty scary.. the thought of graduating n joinging the workforce....

2. which makes me think that.... y is that the world, or singapore for that matter, has to work like this? i mean.. the way i see it, its just one form of a system to live a person's life. im imagining in a parallel world where living a life doesnt have to follow that typical education to workforce route... imagine.. living life.... where work means doing smtg tt u really love... no pressures in worrying abt the rice bowl.. everything is given out fair n square... ok im sounding a bit of a leftist now... and a bit of an unrealistic opitimist. hehe..

3. i watched sisterhood of the travelling pants (sotp).. n i absolutely loooove the view of greece from lena's room/ window. but i absolutely hate her story.. like.. enough about the falling in love with the-exotic-foreign-boy-at-first-sight already! seriosuly, where got people fall in love so fast like tt one. especially when ure overseas....things like that dun really happen in REAL life. even if it does happen, i doubt it'll last anyway.. LDR is tough to handle. (ok, no offence to anyone who is or had maintained such a rship.. k?)

ohhh i absolutely love bridget's hair.. its long n straight n it has nooo frizziness at all. lucky her.

i also absolutely looove.. carmen's and tibby's stories.. it talks abt the complexities of a new family life and learning abt life... thats the kind of stories tt i like. smtg real, smtg close to the heart. now tt makes sense.

4. a lost my ezlink card. was looking for it for almost an hour sehhhh.. i tried racking my alr scattered brain to recall where i could have lost it.. but still, i couldnt think properly enough to sort out the events tt happened chronologically. so, i said a little prayer..

and alhamdulillah.. i found it! hidden behind the folds of the newspaper tt i used to wrap the SOTP cd. thank you for making me tergerak wanting to watch SOTP.

5. i love sundays at 6pm. stand by the window of ur house n perhaps you'll know what i mean.

"Our Lord! You have not created (all ) this without purpose, glory to You!" Ali-Imran (3:191)

ok so ive ranted. more than the intended. hurhur.....

... one litre of tears ...

darn it.. i practically cried litres and litres of tears. in fact, it's one of the best (j) dramas i have ever watched, one that got me reaching out for the tissue box every few minutes. you guys should take a peek at my dust bin now, its half filled with tissue papers. no kidding!

the good thing about this show is that it isnt like those typical love stories that over-romaticizes romance. this show is based on a true story about a 15 yr old girl who suffered from spinocerebellar ataxia, a disease that causes part of the brain and the spine to degenerate.

every episode chronicles Aya's day-to-day battle with her disease. every episode is heartwrenching.... every episode never fails to make one tear... and in, every episode, there is a lesson to remind us of life. in the end, what really matters is how we live our life to the fullest. no matter what condition we are in.

i was tempted to skip school today, partly cause it's just 2 lectures, and partly because i am hit with the flu bug. but then i thought of Aya and how her fatal disease is slowly putting the brakes on her body, and how even in moments of tumult, she trudged on... with school, with people who showed either little or no sympathy or with the difficulty of knowing that you're slowly losing your abilities to walk, or even talk. or even write.

God's simple blessings are sometimes taken for granted. sometimes we need to lose it before we can fully appreciate it. or sometimes we can be smart enough, and be a little bit more proactive and just take a second or two to value and treasure the things that have been given to us.

" On Him depends all creatures in the heavens and on earth; [and] every day He manifests Himself in yet another [wondrous] way."

"Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?"

(Ar-Rahman, 55: 29-30)
