i wish for... chickpeas! \m/ Today i went back to campus to buy the lecture notes, to take back my Sepet from Bacinnn, to borrow Amelie from Sharon, and to return her money back to her. The campus was the way it was when i last saw it -- intact and boring. Somewhere along the School of Health Sciences block, there was some maintenance work going on. They hosed the walls down. They hosed the big, big, exterior walls in preparation for a paint job. The walls were peeling, i saw, and it wasn't easy resisting the urge to walk up to the site and peel off the the exfoliated walls. I think i hate my school. I was alone. Moonie is in KL, Cher was working. I made my way to meet my mom. She knocks off at four, it was only three when i left the campus, a few train stops away from my mom's workplace. Only. I took slow, deliberately slow, painful steps. I reached in less than a thirty. Sat at Long John's, and ate. I had the fries dilemma again. I bought a meal, sides inclusive. But i don't touch french fries, it's a personal issue. But i don't like unfinished meals -- i keep seeing Lil Tysha digging deep into the roadside drain, dinner for Baby and her. I think the clip is still available at ONE. Fries stared at me, boring deep into my eyes. I squirmed uneasily and shifted my gaze elsewhere... to the next table. Fries again! A personal pledge vs conscience. I succumbed to the latter. Yes, i ate them deep-deep-deep-fried bleached french fries. Awful. I almost broke down. And my mom wasn't around to shush my nonsense off. But i hoped, that for every single fry that i ate, there'd be a kid who'd be fed. Haha, that's how i finish my rice. For every grain of rice that i eat, there should be kid who'd be fed well. But i don't normally take rice, so... From the way i foresee, my life will be far from sweet once the term begins. School does that to you. fara // 00:51 |
