in and out.

Is it the norm?

To get bored really easily. When my days get so repetitive that I am constantly looking for something new to preoccupy my mind and time.

Can't really bare the thought of not introducing anything new into my life. Whether it's picking up a new hobby like ballroom dancing or obsessing over a new tv series or trying out a new study venue. There always needs to be something that keeps me from getting bored.

I guess I'm just not use to having a lot of free time on my hands. My whole life has always been packed with activities like ballet, piano, cheer or work. Learning something new every once in a while I guess. Thinking of picking up a language next term.

Wonder how long I can keep this up for though. What if throughout my life I am constantly seeking ways to unbore myself. Not that it's a bad thing, just that it doesn't seem like anyone feels the same way. I see people who can go about their whole lives with the same routine and seem perfectly fine with it.

On a side note. I think this is why I wouldn't do well in a relationship. Cause it would be so bad if I tire of the relationship really quickly. Haha.

During exam time as a way of destressing I like to watch shows or movies that require little to no brain power. Haha. The more bimbotic the better I would say.

Usually my go to show is Jersey Shore. Judge me if you will but each episode is just forty minutes of entertaining drama where I don't need to think at all. But seeing as I've already watched all available episodes, I had to find something new.

So I turned to Sex and the City. The movie. Ended up watching the sequel as well.

Needless to say, I loved both of it. Yes the sequel had the worst storyline ever. But the clothes more than made up for it. Oh to have such a glamorous wardrobe.

Back to the point of this post.

I think Carrie Bradshaw at the end of the movie is exactly where I could only hope to be.

Watching a black and white movie with the man she loves.
In a marriage where they both agree not to have kids.
Making a living from writing.
With a close knit group of friends.

What dreams.

Honestly I would say I don't know much about politics back home. I'm not completely clueless but I'm not as up to date with what goes on back in Malaysia.

However, no matter how much you don't know about politics, I believe that every Malaysian has heard of Bersih. A bid for clean and fair elections. Not asking for much really. Just elections where the outcome is determined by the people and not by money. We're suppose to be a living in a democratic society, yet how often has it been that seats in parliament are won through underhanded means.

I remember when the first Bersih rally was announced about 5 years ago I think. The government tried as hard as they could to prevent it from happening, declaring it illegal. How is it that we are suppose to have freedom of speech yet a peaceful protest like this will be rendered illegal? Then in Bersih 2.0 the police started using tear gas and water cannons. Such brutality. Are we not a civilised country?

And now Bersih 3.0 has just passed. The number of people participating has been increasing which also means that the amount of first hand information you can get your hands on has increased. My facebook has been filled with people's personal accounts of their experience at the rally. While within the stories it does say that there were people from the rally who behaved out of hand, the stories of what the police have gotten up to is just appalling.

It saddens me really. All these stories of police who beat up those in the rally just because they can. They're suppose to be protecting the citizens, not kicking them onto the ground! I've seen a few protests happen over here in Manchester. And it has always been peaceful. The police are there just for crowd control allowing the protestors to march through Manchester on the main road with no issues.

What is to become of Malaysia? All I hope is that it will change for the better.
