Living Through History

When people said life in 2020 is like a movie, we didn't really mean a thrilling one. It is now D-(??? I've lost count) of Restricted Movement Order in Malaysia, I haven't been out from the compound of my house for nearly a month now. COVID-19 is one hell of a ride, and it brought the bad in all of us. There are some things that I learnt throughout this quarantine season, which are:- Humans need closure Whether you're an introvert or extrovert (or ambivert), you need other people, and not in the context of support or anything but the presence of one. It is hard, cooped up in your home (the term 'in the comfort of your home' isn't really reliable now), and had to endure your work or school through online. Yes, the idea of having to wear your pyjamas and go to your virtual class online is comforting as it seems but trust me, it's annoying. And god, I really miss face-to-face classes! and my friends! and being outside :( Stupidity is inside of ev...

Reaching 2nd

God, it's only the 1st week of the semester and I can conclude it is dreadful! Well, maybe the fact that we are still adjusting ourselves, post-semester break, to the new semester but on god, I felt like I am pretty much drained for the whole semester. There's a lot of stuff on my plate and I am not sure having two hands will keep them from falling off my plate; with assignments, reading tasks, upcoming events, self-study, competitions, etc. I'm secretly praying for this semester to end. There's this one night I told everything about it to my friend here, and she felt the same. It's ironic to have such stressful life when I'm still young and all of this stressful stuff kept on piling up on my shoulders, I really hope I won't collapse at any time. Things like these made me feel homesick. Even after spending half of my life staying in dorms, away from my family, this one is the worst. I miss my home, I miss my family, I miss the life where I don't ha...

A Reminder to Myself

To be very honest to whoever reads this post, I am not good in introducing myself. Stating my own name and age or where I am from doesn't really fit to the introducing part for me. Those are just words stating about your own self, not truly show people your background. Hi, my name is sam. Sam is not my real name, obviously, but it's better that way. I like the name sam (though I love my real full name more), but to cover up of being known by the name 'sam' is really interesting. Well, sam didn't exist naturally, it was derived from my own real name so technically, sam is  my name. I am from Malaysia, currently balancing my life between study and events as well as being a good friend, a daughter and as sister at a local known university. I am not taking the same subject I used to learn when I was 7 years old until 19, and I have major love for our local dish called laksa. Those are basic bits and pieces you can know about me. It's alright, if you follow me ...
