The Night I Forgot to Sleep:An Amazing Eye Strain Challengggge!

Assalamualaikum.


8:18 am
So, you know from my status updates (if you're a friend on Facebook) and my tweets (if you're a follower on twitter) that I forgot to sleep last night. That's right I FORGOT. Thanks to Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox for their smashing Smosh videos, I've abandoned my sleep time. I kept watching their videos until 1 am, that's when I remembered that I had to give Musician's Friend a call regarding my guitar order, 3 am, that's when I realised that it's getting late and said goodnight to my mother while we were chatting on skype, and 5 am, that's when I knew that's it's too late to go to sleep that Subuh prayers was within few coming minutes. And finally said bye-bye to my mother, who stayed up chatting with me. Iyeah. Me and my mother are best friends pow-pow.

I am now in an unfamiliar-well, half familiar-state of being. I feel that my neck's doing an extra job carrying my head, my eyes really unsupportive of the challenge I decided to take up a couple of hours ago, and my brain half already in stand-by mode while another half busily tells me through its logical reasoning that to allow my body get some rest would be a very kind act.


My head on the pillow now. I'm still with you.




Ohhhhh. My gum feels numb.


Look I really want to make this worthwhile so I'm going to share with you my updates from the while I realised that I forgot to sleep. 'Cause I'm afraid that I'm going to fall unconscious into sleep any time now. Here they go.


2:30 am
I uploaded four photos of my lemur and me watching Smosh together.


I continued watching Smosh.


5:15 am

I put my laptop to stand-by. Bye.

Points.

Salam.

It's been quite some time. Excuses? No, you don't like it. But yeah, this is the time when we're all kept occupied with preparations for the exam. And really for me-I've been kept busy with things that bother my mind.

I would honestly say that these are the times when I get to think about how it is, living on our own. Thing's aren't easy the way I thought they would be. I get to know myself better. I am opposed with challenges-some very heart-tearing, and some very pocket-draining. Haha.

It's 2.14 p.m. now. It's been raining since morning. I'm cold and alone, drawing myself out of the scene so I can see from a better point of view. I cried enough but it doesn't make things better, I know. Look, I really wish I have a car now so I can feel warm. It's really cold out here. Brr.

This blog is not a place I wish to see flooded with ramblings about my frustrations. Tests are signs that you're in His sight. This current test I am in needs me to remain calm, learn from this life I'm living and make choices after good considerations so I don't spend half of my life regretting mistakes I've done.

I want to make it a lesson learned for myself. Be cool, keep calm. Don't disregard hitches only to panic later, but spend time to look closely into an issue before you make a choice. I make choices, but up to the present I can say that I don't make the best. I make mistakes I must continue to learn from, no matter how painful it is. Or cold. :) Oh did I mention how cold it is? Freaking 15 degrees which is a lie. 15 degrees can't be THIS cold. There were those mornings with 11 degrees that didn't feel this cold. It's not even mostly cloudy according to the weather forecast. It's very cloudy with constant shower.

I'd better be getting on a bus home. It's getting dark, two hours here and my fingertips are freezing. Bye, you. take care. And remember if you feel that you're most troubled, look at me. Heh. :) I mean, look around you. And be grateful that Allah promised never to turn away from those who are patient. Be patient, friend. If you're somewhere out there thinking of quitting, remember your life is a privilege. If you cant run, walk. If you're too weary, drag your feet the way I am now. Because if I stop no one can help me up if I don't want to. Never stop. We'll smile looking at how strong we've been once it's all over. Be there for those who hate to see you fall. Your family, and friends.

If this is for those who love me and I've hurt, I'm willing to go through it. I'm sorry. I hope you're somewhere there, all okay.

The Whiteboard, Children, New House and Ryan Higa.

Assalamualaikum.

Number 1:

I wrote on 'the whiteboard' about children, language, play and knowledge acquisition. It's my recap of one of my Play and Inquiry in Early Childhood lectures. Have a look yeah!

Number 2:

I moved into a new house, that's almost a week now.We're still thinking of a name for her. :) We're thinking White Star or White House, simply. It's all white, even friends call it White House. But White House is in Washington D.C. not here!

Life now feels more like newlyweds slowly occupying their house with basic necessities and some decorations. Haha. But really, we're running low on fund and are supporting each other for goodness, living okay, thinking of this as another fun experience any youngster (youngster?) of our age should at least for once, face. Yeah I say we're broke and happy. Wee!

Oh oh forget money now, my favourites in the house are the stainless steel kettle jug 'cause it looks modern and suits the kitchen's modern look well, the washing machine 'cause it gives out cute tunes when switched on or finishes washing (we call it Quickie for the quick 30-minutes-wash), the new heater for the living room 'cause it's black in colour and it has got a remote control (aaaaaw and it beeps! And it's kind of smart it adjusts to the room temperature and then stops heating up!) and the house itself 'cause it's bright and cosy. Alhamdulillah. The living room's themed black and light red, kitchen's purple, and laundry room's blue-all bits of our favourite colours here and there. It's a steady cute house just perfect for us three, a medium sized we now call home. I'll try to upload some photos soon. :)

You, you and you have a nice weekend. Oh plus Ryan Higa's coming to Sydney's Town Hall tomorrow pal. Tickets sell at 45 AUD. Forgettt it. No money, remember? Haha. But Ryan, still; less than three. Less than three. <3 Teehee. <-- That is number 3. Yeah. ;p

Out the window

A view from out the library. Level 4. Thanks Mystique for a short linguistic recap. :)

Our Queens.

There is no one specific day for our mother. Each day is a day to say "Thank you, mother, for holding my hand, and never letting go." It's just that today, everyone around the world says it together.

Thank you, Ibu. :')

Does friendship really survive through silence?

Assalamualaikum and g'day!

I still am struglling with a few remaining assignments. However I give myself some timeouts glancing over my twitter and enjoying quotes from Islamic Thinking, some friends, ITwitQuote and Megan Fox. No I'm not really a fan of hers, but I am a fan of her words.

So I came across this quote and suddenly felt awkward about not being able to agree with it, because I rarely find quotes questionable. But this one is.

Tell me if you do, or do not share my belief. That is if I'm not talking alone. Haha! No,kidding.


But really. Hello? :P

We aren't all 'Your Honours'.

Well people judge and all, but learn at the same time not to be the same person you judge and talk bad about. Try not to. There's a superior divinity up above watching every word we utter.

What More.

A short piece I wish I could extend, but I think it's sweet the way it is. I haven't been writing poems for quite some time and been drawing instead. But this one's not a poem really either, it's just a random thought of words which I put together. Enjoy. :)

I gave you everything,
And I stayed when it's difficult to.
It's time now that I have to leave,
I've withstood more than I could because of you.

What more do you want me to do.
Just what more do you want me to do.



Assalamualaikum.
