Of telekung and Casper the friendly ghost.

This week is a Freshers’ Week in Marjon and it seems that the local students have been partying and drunk all night every night. We had our teraweh in one of the classrooms and while praying, we heard drunken guys singing down on the road. So, yesterday, during moreh after the teraweh, Ejat was asking each and everyone of us to be extra careful since every Wednesday night is a gathering night for all the sports students and it’s freshers’ week anyway. It’s definite that drunk people are gonna be everywhere. Then, one of the Cohort 3s were saying that they’ve been called Jesus by these local students. It was either that the local students were drunk at that time, or just simply because we had our telekung on for teraweh. We laughed upon hearing the story and I simply said, “If that happened again some other time, tell them we are not Jesus, we are just Casper the friendly ghost.

*roll on the floor laughing*

Spot on.

An Academic Update.

I have just finished writing 3000+ words of my dissertation. Penat sungguh. Hopefully, Tracy wont reject any of the ideas or else I have to make major changes. It is tiring when you actually succeed in writing 1/3 of your dissertation only to be told that half of it is not relevant or appropriate. It makes you feel demotivated. I felt that there is no point of writing if people keep on rejecting your work. Yes, I know, they are trying to help, to make sure that we are on the right track. But, you do get tired, don’t you? Especially when you think you can move on to a different chapter and moving away to different kind of books. Anyway, I have to stop whining. Whining doesn’t get you anywhere, kan.

Can I ask for some favour from all of you? Tell me what do you think of this.

Lelaki ini.

I would like this song to be sung at my wedding. Sweet, kan?

Lelaki Ini by Anuar Zain

Kasih, kenanganku
Ingatkah saat saat dulu
Kasih, apakah dirimu
Merasakan semua itu

Ke mana pun langkahku pergi
Ku masih melihat bayanganmu cintaku
Dan kemana pun arah anginku berlari
Hati ini masih kau miliki

Lelaki ini yang selalu mencintamu
Selalu, tanpa ragu
Lelaki ini yang selalu memuja
Hanya dirimu
Yang bertakhta dalam sanubariku
Sanubari ku
Aku yang mencintakan mu
Hanya dirimu…

Karena cintaku, tak berbatas waktu
Karena cintaku, tak mengenal jenuh hatimu
Hatimu…
