it was raining quite heavily here-since maghrib tadi. haha kitorang lari macam marathon from cafe to kolej semata-mata taknak basah. alhamdulillah tak basah pun hahahahaha oh the irony how i was never a fast runner on the track, always getting second to last place and just now i ran like there's no tomorrow, my body felt really light though i was wearing only slippers. heyy maybe i have just discovered a new secret on how to run faster-by wearing slippers lol. anyway. don't you just love rain? i know i do. but only when it fell on a convenient time, e.g. not when i need to wait for the bus to go to an 8 A.M class. but, night rain especially, is the best-for these reasons; 1) sedap gila tido wo, sejuk macam kat cameron highlands. 2) soothing, calming sound effect produced from the hitting of raindrops on any surfaces. 3) inspirational, thought-evoking views from rain aftermath. the pavement is wet, the roads are decorated with water puddles, the air is chill, everyone is staying inside so lesser people to none on the outside-time macam ni the introvert in me akan ambil kesempatan untuk merayap-not far, just sekitar blok. go to the balcony-since our block berdepan eh tak, membelakangkan jalan raya and there is a top view from bukit ekspo- a recreation park so the view is quite pretty. met a black cat with paws resembling white socks but it ran away from me ;-; come back here and love me u brat. studied for calculus tadi, derivatives specifically. nightmare aku sejak spm. then i decided to take a break by reading (re-reading, actually) a story from my Love in Penang novel. The title is 'Happiness' by Leroy Luar. honestly, this excerpt, bila kau baca sekali dengan short stories lain, it won't leave you much impression-or is it just me? because it can be forgettable, and i think there is too much to take in, the atmosphere i mean. the way the author describe the place setting-since i never went to Penang or a native so its quite hard la for me to imagine the place when the setting is actually one of the major ingredients. so the reading experience got ten folds better when you read this on its own. it actually got me engrossed in it, how can i say this..when i finished reading it, then i got out to go to the bathroom, i felt like i have just snapped out of a reverie? like i was still in the story, at the place-Rifle Range flats, the dialogues still playing in my mind. it makes me feel really strange..like i wasn't myself lol. anyway, i could say that i can relate to character very, very much. one of the most realistic character i've ever read so far lol. but then again, all the characters in this compilation is real, save for one or two. this is why i LIVE for indie novels. they've not much dramatic flair to them, are quite dull, but that's just how real people are. we're dull because we're real. anyway (again) i want to share an excerpt from the story that i don't know-maybe i could relate to, or just maybe because i like the way it was written. "So long as i'm around them, all of them, this emptiness will never go away. It's not like they're doing anything, they don't have to. They're just sucking it all out of me just being there. I don't even know how could i have lived there all my life, with them, like this, for so long and still be sane. Still be alive." ciao.
