Just a random update! :D

I’m sitting here, in front of the PC, blogging for the first time in 2009, and all I can think of is…

The state of the family computer’s keyboard is just… disturbing. A lot of the letters have rubbed off after years of vigorous prodding and pressing, to the point that Aisya rewrote the letters on a paper, cut it off into tiny squares and sellotaped it to the respective keys. Not that she and I need it – after years of writing, blogging, and translating, we only look down at the keyboard out of habit – but pity the people who come over and are at a loss over the blank keys.

It’s 11 am, and I haven’t even showered yet. No, not because I’m on campus, where I’m sure you’ve heard there’s been no water for a week now, but simply because I am indulging in pure lazyness. There’s something… soothing about spending the day at home unwashed and in your pajamas all day. I know, disgusting, much? Hehehe :D

This is random, but you know what I’ve noticed regarding some of the posters around campus lately?

1) Speeling and grandmatical errors is hudge turn off. Hello, there’s a REASON MsWord underlines your words in RED and GREEN, and it’s not for decorative purposes, okay? Okay! :D

2) When you dumb down for your audience, you just end up sounding dumb. Like durrrh!

3) A lot of the posters are past their expiry dates. The HS corridors are littered with posters from LAST YEAR, people. And some of the posters are tacked over even OLDER ones. Gargh the horror. Naz and I spent a very cathartic night ripping a whole bunch off because we are so obviously OCD :D

4) A lot of the posters are just boring, plain text. Why not come up with something that evokes the senses?

Okay, I can actually come up with a lot more, but my short attention span is already wavering, and I’m going cross-eyed due to lack of food. ME HUNGRY. What’s for breakfast? Oooh… Pancakes dripping in honey again. Nice to take a break from what I always have on campus; oily, heart-attack-inducing, vein-clogging, aromatic Roti Canai. Yummmm…. Cheap, too. *smiles blissfully*

Okay, enough with the crapping. I’ve a few things to iron out. To those of you who’ve been coming here regularly, expecting something fresh, I’m sorry. I’ve been taking a hiatus from blogging since December 4, not because it was something I planned, but because, sometimes, I feel that life is too full to be spent in front of a PC. All I can say is that I’m nowhere as idle as I was last semester :D

Another thing; I lost my phone at KLCC, aka The Land Of Sin, a couple weeks back when I was lounging around the park benches. Stupid of me to put the phone in a compartment of my bag that CANNOT SHUT, but what’s done is done. So I lost my old phone, my contacts list, and my Maxis sim card. Since no one apart from family and a few others know the number I am using now, I am virtually uncontactable, unless you bump into me face to face. If you do, remind me that we don’t have each other’s numbers. Thanks! Much love.

Okay, I really, very badly need a shower right now. Catch you later!

PS: The convenience store in the square in front of the Masjid has a poster announcing the sale of Mawi and Ekin love diaries. OMG, does anyone actually BUY those kinds of things??? 8-O

PPS: I’m not joining any clubs or societies this semester, because, in the words of Saraa, I want to be an anarchist. (Insert anti-government/SRC/IIUM's administration/Israel spiel here)
