Oasis

but you come around in your time
speaking of fabulous places
create an oasis
dries up as soon as you're gone
you leave me here burning
in this desert without you

Sunrise

Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine

My Brain Pattern

Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a multi dimensional wonderland, with many layers.
You're the type that always has multiple streams of though going.
And you can keep these thoughts going at any time.
You're very likely to be engaged in deep thought - and deep conversation.

Strong With Just The Right Amount of Strength

A discussion ensued today in Language Development about domestic abuse. I can't even begin to describe how appalling the whole idea is to me.

Especially on children.

Abuse is about control. It is about power. I wish it would just stop - physical, emotional, sexual or otherwise.

I just can't imagine if a student, one day, writes up graphic and gory details about a rape in an essay which I will mark. I can't imagine one day, when a student comes to school always with bruises and warm battered marks on his body. I can't imagine if a student, one day, tells me that he is scared to go home because that's where his father is.

What will I do?

I. am. tired.

In the midst of an economic crisis


Name: Maurina H A Hamid
Age: Old enough
Comments: She is currently in a situation that requires a choice between options that are or seem equally unfavorable or mutually exclusive.

I, at this particular moment in time, in this exact moment, after the particular sequence of events that has happened today am not feeling very optimistic. I need to make a purchase of a substantial amount and unfortunately, I am not with sufficient funds.

Yatah. Saja bah kan bedrama.

Ponder


As a modern day Brunei watcher comments on the strength of Brunei economy as a counterbalance to social upheavals-- “if its economy remains intact, the mould of Brunei’s recent past may well define its future.”

- HUSSAINMIYA, B. A.
