Assume

WILLOW
I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have assumed Buffy would be here.
DAWN
Right. Assume would make you an ass out of me.
- Wrecked, 6:10

Was it intentional, or was it an assumption made at my expense?

Or my own assumption made from abandonment?

Is this a feeling I should be feeling, or am I reading too far in on nothing?

Either way, I will not let you win.

Back Home

I'm back home from Kota Bharu.
There's not much to talk about, to be honest. The stay was much too short to have any noted events that would have warranted a write. It was only a three day stay and even then, some of it were mostly spent on the road. But it was just nice to see the faces of family that I would otherwise only see once or sometimes, twice a year. It's good to see them all happy and well despite the little downturns in life. Of course, other than family, it's good to eat good ol' genuine Kelantanese food...especially nasi belauk for breakfast. Heheh... It's all good, and I wish I could spend more time with them, but well, til the next time I see them, I guess. It was sad to leave this morning, but what is there to do but say goodbye--for now? I can only pray for their good health and wellbeing so I can see them well when I see them next. Til we meet again.

By the way, Happy New Year!

Welcome 2009,
Linzy

Balik Kampung

I might be going off to my mother's hometown in Kota Bharu, Kelantan today. Knowing my father, he won't tell us what day and what time we will go and just tell us non-chalantly that's we'll be going at (fill in insufficient amount of time to get ready here) and expect us to get ready at the drop of a hat. It grates on my nerves cos my mum and me not only have to pack for everyone, but make sure the house is fit to be left empty for the next few days. It's quite inconsiderate this habit of his.

So I *might* be going off today. I cannot be sure, but I just wanna make sure I record it here, for well, the record. See you soon, all!

Semester II, 2008/2009

It is the first day of a new semester. A semester that I will not be a part of, other than offering side-line help. And yet, I am going to campus, nonetheless in about 9-10 hours from now. What I will be doing there is:

  1. See my Sayang, Ash
  2. Clear my fine at the Legal Unit
  3. See my Sayang, Ash
  4. See my results (finally!)
  5. See my Sayang, Ash
  6. Do my clearance
  7. See my Sayang, Ash
  8. See the Twisties
  9. See my Sayang, ASh

That pretty much sums all the important stuff. I can't wait to get there.

Love, Linzy~

Abandon


Your voice a mixture

of gravel and sand

underwater

Lacerates my skin

with muffled words

whispered

Spoken carelessly

from lips come tumbling

endlessly

Trailing pathways

painted with heated

litanies*

I am caged within

these snakelike sheets

intertwined

Supplicant I lie

as you persuade me to

abandon.

* A derivation from the Old Greek 'litaneia' , meaning 'entreaty'

Some rhythmic cluster of words that sprang from watching the video Aizome and some pent up emotions that's spilling from the brim. Reading an opinion on Youtube (I quote "I LOVE her voice...it's like a mix between water and wind..."), it supplied me with an odd combination of adjectives which I adopted to create the first three lines. From that few lines it substantiated into a translation of an internalized voice. I think it made for an unlikely, but satisfactory marriage of words.
