Can you imagine no dating allowed in uni?  Well...

Group wants no dating rule at varsity (The Star, 1/11/2009)

 

THE International Islamic University Malaysia has become the first “no dating place” in the country.

A banner has been put up at its Gombak campus to warn the students from dating in the university compound.

The banner is said to be the work of Maaruf Club in conjunction with the Campus Dakwah Project during Ramadan and not an initiative by the university authorities.

 

Don't tell me they are actually going to BOTHER to enforce it.

saturated

Sometimes this feels dumb but I question God- 'Why are on earth are You so good to me?'

Incredibly grateful for the totally undeserved blessings, especially because today I was a mean horrible terrible vegetable monster, for reasons I will not elaborate here because I am just so embarrassed

But otherwise I am healthy, happy and attempting to be sane

For all those who are stressed or who have troubles they have to bear- I really hope you will eventually taste that God is good.

Hmm I know I am not being subtle about God, but I don't think I can afford to be anymore

Now that was a lot of emoticons.  Onwards to studying!

reflection

While making the scrapbooks for those who are graduating in my OCF cell- I realised how good a year this has been.  All the happy memories in photos, the way people impact each others' lives- makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.  Really! 

And all the stress was worth it.

But then, on the 'I-must-rant' mode- I find it annoying when people discount what I say just because I am stressed- I mean I do mean what I say even if I am clearly stressed.

Currently trying to find out how the gubernaculum suddenly came into the picture...

obsession

If you know me enough you'd realise I am the kind of person who has long-term crushes/likes on people- and yes the person of my discussion today is none other than Brooke Fraser.

Was studying about puberty when I decided I had to take a break- and did a very gay thing of looking at pics of Brooke Fraser- but she's soooo pretty!  OK evidence:

Note her sameness of height with the guys around her- she IS tall...  (See why I say she looks like Anne Hathaway?)

And she is edgy and cool and everything great la:

OK I think I am scaring you all- let me reassure you that I am as straight as a pole... just that I really admire her- she has a big heart and she is just so talented and coincidentally good-looking...  (And yes if I was a guy I'd totally have a crush on her...)

Hmmm on my end there are a few things brewing- sometimes you have to stand by what you have decided.

Onto demolishing my work!!!

being boring

My friend Michelle likes to have this discussion about what we will be like as future girlfriends/wives- and she ALWAYS says I am stable but boring (as opposed to fun but unstable).  I don't know which end of the spectrum is preferable, but I was doing some thinking and I had to agree with her...

I realised I am INCREDIBLY boring person. 

I can stand repetition of things, eg:

1. Eat ais kacang back-to-back for a stretch of 3 weeks- so much so that my mum just had to hand in the container to the ais kacang lady and it was understood.   (Yes my mum is incredibly obliging.)

2. Eat oats with banana EVERYDAY for breakfast, with few breaks in between.  Same went for Koko Krunch with milk until I decided enough was enough after a spate of a few months.

3. I used to eat fish and chips EVERY Sunday without fail- hence the chubby kid I was. (I REFUSE to let anyone see ANY pictures of me when I was 11-12 ish- let's just say I was sadly disillusioned about my not being fat.)

4. I can listen to Brooke Fraser over and over again and NOT get sick of it. (When I mean over and over again, it really IS over and over again.)

5. I can wear the same old thing again and again (i.e. the same dress for more than 3 days) until someone points it out.

6. Cook something in bulk and eat the same dish for the next 8 days- I am absolutely fine with that.  (But I haven't had much opportunity to eat 8 days at home in a row as I usually will go out for a meal sometime.)

I KNOW for a fact that there are more examples than this but this is for now. 

I don't watch any particular series to keep me entertained- and my idea of fun is doing just NOTHING.

I love monotony!  Or being a slob.

I was just thinking- I realised I don't even necessarily have a lot to say to the people I am closest to- so don't worry if I shut up in front of you if I had nothing to say- it means I am sufficiently comfortable with you for me to do so. 

As it is, I am boring.  And I think that's fine, if you are fine with it
