A Slap in the Face

Nothing lasts forever, she said. People do bad things everywhere, she said. Best thing you can do is to just appreciate it whenever it is around. Your time is limited, and just embrace it the way it is, right now. All that matters, is now. What will happen later, we may not know. Just live.

And it scares the shit out of me when a song accurately describes how I feel right now. And how I felt for the past three months.

How to get through the rest of the days? By skipping lunches and dinners. I am still loved by my Creator. Thank you so much T_T

With Love, From South Korea

Slept at around 4 AM, woke up at 703AM. Went to a mosque in Busan, surprisingly soooo many Muslims were present. Lots of them had to pray outside. Came back to KINGS, had a small celebration, invited other students to try our Raya cookies, instant Brahim's Rendang, serunding and instant ketupat after lunch in the common kitchen.

Stayed in the kitchen, despite my heavy eyelids being strained by gravity, until about 4PM. Went back to room, planning to play guitar and just stay awake so that I could go to sleep early today for tomorrow's class. Planning failure. Haha objective was unattainable and not realistic. Went to sleep and missed dinner. Went back to the common kitchen around 9PM, my Vietnamese friends were working on a Vietnamese dessert. Was yummy. Now, super full. Shitted twice today. Okay, must touch my assignment for a bit. It's getting lonely now. Hahaha. 

Okay, work. Go.

How On Reactor Vessel Did I Get Here?

As I was walking down the hallway from the laundry room back to my room, I could see through the glass wall, Shinkori Unit 1 and Unit 2 domes. With stars hanging above them. I could also see some trees and their shadows embracing parked cars in the parking lot, the road, grass and everything else down there. There is a small football field just across the road opposite my dormitory, the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) building right next to it, the place where we would go for a karaoke session or pool. And I kept on walking and walking, closer and closer to my room. I could hear Ill Nino playing on my computer because I left my room door open before I went to the laundry room. And now I am back here, five minutes ago I was writing my assignment. A 3-5 pages of essay on how to survey public acceptance of nuclear power development. With this weekend mood striking a day earlier, it is really a pain for me to try to come up with sensible sentences for my essay.

And I thought again of the sight of Shinkori domes with the stars smiling coyly to the sound of sea breeze bashing the randomly distributed rocks. And I asked myself, how on freaking planet earth did I end up hereeeeeeeeee? Unable to answer the question, I moved on to the next unimportant issue.

I looked at my wrist, two familiar objects wrapping my wrist comfortably. A yellow "LIVESTRONG" band, something my friend, Jun Ho, got for me from the US, and a black magnetic bracelet that belongs to my brother, Ameer. Truthfully, I miss him even though we are not really close. And I asked myself, how on freaking Korean land did I end up on blogspot instead of that Microsoft Word document that I am supposed to submit tomorrow night?

Eid is waving at me from about two days away. Wow I just used days as a measure of distance. Only in my world, this is possible. Just somebody please justify this to me. Humans, even though they know that something is wrong, but they still do it. Praying for forgiveness with every breath I take, for myself, my family and everyone else in the world.

And I asked myself, why can't this "Me & Mrs Jones" by Michael Buble leave my headdddddd?

I have lived, and I am ashamed. God help us all.

 Vietnamese cuisine, duck egg, and that is an egg that almost turned into a duckling. 

No I did not try it, this is just for the sake of enslaving myself to the camera 

Kil Young and Long, great guys, single, email me for further enquiries

the other life

just here, it stops here, i told myself

now it's stuck in between

and it stirs the living thing inside the chest

questioning why does not mean anything

the weight of the unspoken thoughts

just keeps on adding up

i wonder how strong these walls are

the land lies directly in your line of sight

you agreed but did you really mean it?

even if you tell me the truth

it wouldn't change anything

it wouldn't mean anything

we will always be static

it could have been a beautiful thing

but i guess it will remain as beautiful

in another dimension

i hope we made it in the other world

it will stay here

maybe, always
