OMG! IT'S COMING!
well, it's 1hr and 36 minutes into Sunday already. which means, tomorrow is monday. which means i have to get my ass up early and make my way to NP to the interview which now i am not sure to be described as the one that i have been anticipating since i withdrew from CJ or the one that i have been dreading since i got to know i got shortlisted for it.well, to calm those nerves of mine, i'm done with my Statement of Intent and the people who have read it so far thought it was good, and all wished me the best of luck and all the best for my interview. i hope my (completed) portfolio is good enough to impress the interviewers even more and that i can clinch a place in that course. time to get to school doing something that i like already! heh.
anyway, something happened on my way home just now which had an impact on me: a Bangladeshi worker, seeing that i am in my tudung, bidded Assalamualaikum (Peace be upon you in Arab) to me with a smile and so i just smiled back and said Wa'alaikum Salam to him (peace be upon to you too in the same language). a stranger! one of a different race, different tongue and roots bothered to acknowledge a similarity between us (our religion) without a tinge of mockery in it. i mean, not that other people don't say hi to me or something, but it's usually people who know you who will even bother looking at you with a smile. and it's not as if people of my race don't give the salaam to me. it's like they'll add on after giving the salaam, which makes it really fake. kinda mocking in a way.
for example, the guy will go "Assalamualaikum.." and then you know that you gotta answer him, or else it'll be sinful, or simply rude. so when you are about to answer his salaam, he adds on "kalau tak jawab dosa, kalau jawab mentel.." (if you don't answer, it's sinful and if you do, then you are flirtatious). and then you don't know what to do so you just walk away and appear anti-social.
ah whatever, i just can't get to sleep.
about. urm. 36 more hours? i don't know. i failed math.
