The word diao has once again crept into my vocabulary, thanks to a certain woman named Grace.
My first affliation with that word was due to AISYAH, who apparently ALSO got it from Grace.
I started saying 'Diao' as a fill-in word during Sec 1, and after Aisyah ceased using that word, I did too.
'Diao' is used as a fill-in-the-blank word, I suppose. It's the equivalent of:
whatthehellwhateverwhatthef**khuhthatwassonu-uhwhatwhatwhaaatttt???
And to spare us all from this very long sentence, we have therefore resorted to saying 'Diao'.
One word of caution: It is very addictive.
Don't you ever.. ever... start... using it.
Just use it once in a while. The word kinda has an owner anyway.
Diao.
I mean,
whatthehellwhateverwhatthef**khuhthatwassonu-uhwhatwhatwhaaatttt???

The very first post to celebrate the beginnings of yet another blog made by the person who's currently sitting behind the computer screen.
My full OBS report is still in pre-production (yes, it is that long) and I have yet to finish up the first day. Tsk tsk, Hanis.
It is 8.30 and piles of undone homework are staring me in the eye from my study table.And it is times like these where my subconscious battles the inner fight of angel and demon within me, where I am very much concerned as to how this particular fight would turn out. Hmm.
Staying true to ourselves. I came across this quote on the net and it got me thinking. How many of us really do stay honest and true to ourselves in any situation? Or do we sometimes slip up and break a rule or two just to get where we want to be? I would guess the latter. But after all, we are only humans and if we don't realize that we're acting up, then I would bet my life savings that we would not know who we really are.
And that's how I came to a conclusion that mistakes and failures are essential to every living being. Without the wrongs, we would never know what's right.
Though that's where another argument could enter in.
Take a first-time shoplifter, for example. She knows it's wrong and yet she does it. And let's say she gets caught, and vows to never have another brush with the law again. We would say she has learned from her mistakes. But in the beginning, why does she do it even if she knows that her actions are of something unacceptable?
Apart from all the physical reasons, peer pressure and the likes, this particular shoplifter of ours has created the mistake of making a mistake.
And that's where I've come to another conclusion.
If we reach a forkroad and we know what lies beyond what we can see, the obvious solution would be to take the right path.
But if we reach a forkroad with no signs or any kind of knowledge to help us through, we are therefore allowed to create an honest mistake.
And this is where it comes back to staying true to ourselves. Would we stray from the right path due to personal interest and make the mistake of making a mistake, or remember who we are and take the risk of simply making a mistake?
I'm a little confused by the way my train of thoughts has taken me.
"My thoughts are sporadic," Eminem- Till I collapse.
How very agreeable at this point of time.
And my pile of homework is still staring at me in the eye, slowly unrooting feelings of guilt from deep within.
8.52 pm.
I guess the devil has won this time round.
Boooo.
