Season 2: Episode 4 🎀
Thursday, February 2nd 2023
Unfortunately, with a heavy heart, I announce that I still am backtracked from school work (that includes AEP).
For most, blogging seems to be a routine that could potentially be seen as a matter that is far more than tedious. But, I for one have a biased liking to it. Many do ask me why I love writing – though of course, many other people are excellent at it. As for me, I prefer the wind to sweep me away and lead me to any path it desires.
Back in the old days when the motivation to write started to bubble up in me, I would have always grabbed a random journal, or even opened up a fresh Google document to spill my thoughts into. Now that blog in AEP exists, it has truly become the place where I consider it my diary. Sometimes the things I wrote won’t even relate to AEP (apologies Ms. Disa, I am an over-sharer).
Scrabble. Yes, scrabble. This is a thought I have been questioning a lot this school year – why have I only played scrabble once, or not even once. Despite the fact that my memory box is 2cm by 2cm, I could not remember the days that I visited a scrabble board. Maybe I have been absent a little bit too much during “game week”!
It is common to hear that human beings crave to fill this sense of longing towards a place, or towards a person. However, in this case, it is scrabble. There is not one one, but many active side-eyes that shoot my way whenever I say that I miss playing scrabble. For me, it is not just a game, but also an encapsulation of my childhood and my relationship with my mother. Growing up, it was her who introduced me to the game which eventually led me to playing competitions which I so proudly always brags about.
Our board play was interesting this time, we not only tried to score as much as we could, but too attempted to use new, unheard words. Allows me to introduce everyone to the words – haes, lored and boa. Do not repeat this action, but you could say that we were pretty much tempted to make our own new words so we could place them in the high-scoring position like double and triple word!
In the last game, Nurin and Izzah had won the first place as they were smart to have hit a jackpot, scoring a whopping 56 points in one move. They had used the extension of the letter “S” to form the word rebukes and added their own word which was ways. May I mind you that the letter S landed on a double word, nasty move! Anyways, kudos to them :D
Come and see me again in my next blog and we shall soon witness what I have to bring to the table.
Thanks for your insisive and informative blog.
