I've been down this road before
I walk out the door
Leave you on the floor
Sometimes you run and hide
Your foolish pride's what keeps me from giving you more
So the best thing I can give to you is for me to go
Leave you alone
'Cause you got growing up to do
Some day I'll return when it's time for payment in kind
The churchbells are chimed
You stand before me surrounded by lights
Dressed in white
You threw flowers in the air this night
But the best thing I can give to you is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do
It looks like the rain is pouring down on me
It's drowning me now and all I want is to come back home
And this old corduroy coat is not keeping me dry
But I can't think of what else to try
That's why the best thing I can give to you is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do
Yeah
The best thing I can give to you is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do
I walk out the door
Leave you on the floor

It's been awhile... how many times have i started this line lol
Nways, Jakarta was great... memorable i'd say
Pollution is in the air coz the moment u step out of the airport you see gray.
And the traffic is craaaaazy
Oh but the people are amazingly friendly. Simply awesome.
The exhibition was fun in a way though tiring.
I slid down the World's Longest Slide in the FX Shopping Mall in Jakarta. I clocked 10:04s sliding down from the 7th floor to the ground. I tumbled out like a ball and looked rather stupid but it was fun. FUN!
I'm going to miss Jakarta. When I was at a supermarket awhile ago and the shopkeepers arent as friendly, I already missed Jakarta...
*** Ranting alert! ***
I called the bank to ask about my outstanding balance and the lady ask me tonnes of questions only to tell me in the end that she cannot disclose the information on the phone!!!!!
ARGH! Shouldn't have wasted my freaking time.

What Hamizah Means |
 You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience. You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along. But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge. |
It sure has been awhile. I was thinking of closing this but i figured that eventually i'll feel a want to write something....
The year isnt over yet and already i find it to be quite eventful (or lack of events but nonetheless...)
I'll turn a year older next month inshallah.. but i dont feel like im getting any wiser for that matter..
Lookin back, i did some silly mistakes this year.. mistakes that cant be undone no matter how i wish i could turn back time.. but i'd like to live with no regrets; so i acknowledge that i have been silly and stupid with some matters but i have to move on..
i made a promise that i will not fall apart.. i'll pick up the pieces and strut on..
i had learned plenty of lessons and i hope i will not make the same mistakes in the future...
i work now. totally in a different line of what i studied but i think i like it and i can handle it.
there could be a good chance of traveling involved. and i look forward for that. if its not possible, i'll just enjoy the working life (and the money that comes with it :P)
my masters' plan had been disrupted this year but i'll only be putting it on hold for a while. i applied for next year and they accepted; so i'll give it another shot. i hope i could finance myself by then. fingers crossed.
i havent been reading any books lately... and i feel mentally empty... i should pick up a book soon; real soon...
guys, i miss you all xoxo

Friedman got pied and she got expelled...
The indefinite expulsion of Molly Little from Brown University for throwing some green whipped cream at N.Y. Times columnist Thomas Friedman is grossly out of proportion to the act. The pieing was not a frivolous student prank, rather, as she intended, the action did evoke some good discussion on the contextualization of "free speech" in our society. Recently, an online petition has been created(see link below) in defense of Molly.
Molly is a Green and my first look at the YouTube video was from a link posted on this listserv, I believe by Joanne. Wherever you stand on the "free speech" controversy is not at issue here. If folks want to have that discussion, fine, but this is about closing ranks in solidarity with one of our own. Molly has been consistently, selflessly, publicly, and passionately opposing U.S policy in the Middle East for close to six years. Many of us feel that she's being targeted for bringing Norman Finkelstein, Dahlia Wasfii, and Mazin Qumseyeh to speak at Brown. In the aftermath of the pieing she has endured, courageously, some incredibly ugly backlash.
If you write to other lists please spread this petition effort. Thank you all for your continued efforts towards justice. Please excuse my silence on this list but we really do have a fairly active local antiwar coalition going on here in RI. – Nick (RI)

********
To: The Administration of Brown University
On April 22, Brown University student Molly Little threw a pie at New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman in protest of his pro-war, pro-corporate views, and the prominence he receives in promulgating those views while others are suppressed. Friedman received no injuries from the fluffy pie, and resumed his full lecture after five minutes. Due to the harmlessness of the incident, no legal charges were pressed by any party.
Nevertheless, on May 15, after a hearing conducted by Brown's Office of Student Life, the administration sentenced Molly to a 'suspension'--in fact an indefinite expulsion. As a result Molly is unable to enroll at Brown in the fall semester, or even set foot on the campus. She is not guaranteed readmission, but must reapply to the same administration which has committed this miscarriage of justice.
The punishment imposed on Molly is severely disproportionate to the incident to which it supposedly responds. It is not compatible with Brown's mandate as an educational institution. The University has put its desire to draw 'marquee' speakers--regardless of their intellectual value--and control student activism above its mission to teach.
Further demonstrating Brown's abandonment of responsibility to students is its indifference towards the actions of Assistant Professor Stephen Porder, who physically attacked and detained Molly in an absurd act of self-righteous vigilantism. The dean who is supposed to be investigating the matter simply refuses to return calls.
We, the undersigned, categorically reject the so-called 'suspension,' actually indefinite expulsion, of Molly Little. We demand her unconditional readmission to Brown University without fines, fees, or red tape.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
