Whoa! Where did the time go? It’s already the 19th! It means that there are only 9 days left until NATION (the ABS event). My Lord!
And this afternoon, we practiced the dance for the flashmob, which is going to be held at the end of the event. Boy was it very tiring! I hadn’t done any exercise in three weeks, so I found it hard to catch my breath after the dancing practice. But it was fun!
But I don’t think that my gladiator sandals found the practice fun too. Hehe…

Years ago, I was playing skipping with my friends when I fell down and skinned my knee on a big rock. I immediately went to a mosque near by and cleaned the wound with water, then went back to playing. I didn’t feel the pain back then, not until I came home. Right when I entered my house, the wound started to burn and it hurt like hell. I cried and my mum checked the wound. She asked me why I didn’t go home right after I got the wound and I told her that it didn’t hurt when I was playing. She then told me that when you were happy, your brain was too busy being happy that it didn’t notice the hurt going on in your body.
Perhaps what my mum said was right. Perhaps we wouldn’t feel pain if we were happy. Perhaps all this fatigue, pain, temporary hopelessness, etc., would disappear if I keep in mind that I’m doing this for the sake of future happiness. It’s what I’m going to build and fill my home with.
Perhaps if I keep trying hard, keep fighting for it, then God will understand how much and how bad I want it. Perhaps He will grant all my wishes. I do believe in Him. Insha Allah.
Sincerely,
Putdar.
Yesterday I had a table manner course as a part of Intercultural Communication class. Actually, I already knew most of the rules, so I just want to comment on the food here. Well, it was oh so wow! Unfortunately, I couldn’t take pictures of all the food. I just took the one with the main course in it. It was beef steak. It was a yummy beef steak. I love meat!

+ light a candle
+ lie on your back, look at the ceiling
+ draw silly (imaginary) pictures on the ceiling using a laser pointer
+ make a confession
+ fall asleep and don’t wake up until the alarm goes off (or until the power is on again)

If you’re following me on Twitter, you might see some tweets where I complained about several things last night. I do believe that it’s okay to blurt out negativity in social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. It’s fine; as long as you know when to stop. It’s alright to let out one negative tweet or two; but don’t bitch all the time (I have a friend who complains in every single tweet she writes and I know that everybody would agree if I said that she is unfollowable). You must keep in mind that while you have all the rights to tweet whatever you want, your followers have all the rights to have their timelines free from negativity.
So, cuss whenever you think it’s necessary (don’t mind those haters!); but never too much.
And to kick all these negative thoughts out of my mind (and yours), I close this post with this song. It’s my favourite one to listen to whenever I feel like a downer. Enjoy! 🙂
Sincerely,
Putdar.
