Packing for Borneo is so stressful. My bag is so packed with clothes that I can’t fit in anything else. And I have tons of everything else to pack in. I guess I need to bring lesser clothes and wash them there. 

On a completely different note, I am so eggcited for my trip. It’ll be awesome possum living in a kampong. Oh, great, I haven’t memorised my cultural exchange songs.

The meaning of all the deaths in HP:

  • Sirius Black: To show Harry's lack of guidance/parental figures.
  • Albus Dumbledore: To show the death of a great leader can't stop a war.
  • Hedwig: To show the end of Harry's childhood.
  • Mad Eye: To show the death of a solider.
  • Dobby: To show even the smallest of creatures can die a Hero's death.
  • Fred Weasley: To show that some deaths you just can't get over. And that's okay.
  • Tonks and Remus Lupin: To reestablish orphans of war.
  • Colin Creevey: To show that the good die young, even when they aren't supposed to.

  • (In a conference on the GWOT, 9/11 and "Islamic ideology", I was in the speaking panel)
  • Young British man in the crowd asks me: Are you apologetic about 9/11?
  • Me: No. I don't apologize for 9/11. Why should I? I had nothing to do with it. I'm only sorry about the lives lost - regardless of who they were. But I am NOT a spokesperson for Al-Qaeda. No sensible Muslim is. Do I ask British people to apologize to me for colonizing my country back then, taking the rights of the masses away, ending freedom of speech, creating problematic borders that led to bloodshed, sexually assaulting the women of my land, westernizing the entire pedagogues in the subcontinent, turning my culture and my identity into a mystical subject for orientalist authors to go capitalize on? Have I asked you to say sorry to me?
  • Him: (remains silent)
