Studying For The Test.

INSTEAD OF HITTING THE BOOKS like a good student I should be to study for the test in March, I go about the house ironing and re-ironing everything in the cupboard including the handkerchief, sweeping and re-sweeping the floor, mopping and re-mopping everything flat, dusting and re-dusting everything that the house is now clean as a nuclear plant. As a matter of fact it is so clean I got nothing left to do except to open up a chapter of a book to study but what do I do? I go start up my new iMac and fidgeting here and there to type this entry. I gotta admit that I have never liked school all that much except when I was in Remove Class D of Dungun English Secondary School. That was because Miss Low was there to teach me English and she was pretty that I thought I'd marry her and live happily ever after. There's no pretty girls at UIAM that I fancy falling in love with and this is a big problem because I kinda need a bit of romance to get me fired up to study and do well the exam.

And so for the past couple of weeks, I have been keeping myself off the books when I should be reading those pages like a student that I am but what did I do? I took a drive to a nice restaurant to treat myself to a fancy Middle Eastern food that got me quite full that I thought of calling a cab to take me home on account I was too full to drive that it could pose some kinda hazard to other drivers on the road. But that didn't stop me from treating myself to loads and loads of good olive oil, tahine, nougats and bukhor to keep the house smelling like a mosque in Morocco.

Still I gotta read those books if I want to continue my pursuit for knowledge next semester. By the look of it, I don't stand half a chance because I've been missing classes quite a bit because of my trips to Sungai Bakap but that was OK because in my book, doing something for love is always a good thing even though I might not get anything in return but still, at least I can say to myself I did what I had to do for love.

Ok, I gotta read. (Did I have a bit of baklava in the fridge? Wait, I gotta fix a bit of lemon syrup to along with it. And then I read. If it doesn't rain. Otherwise, I'm taking my bike to go ride in the rain.)
