March 1st, 2018 - Today was a sunny day. It was raining heavily the day before.. I was drenched and cold throughout. So, having some sun coming out to play was an excellent reward. I went to an extra credit talk about the science of sex in Islam. It was an interesting talk, because growing up Muslim, the topic of sex has always been somewhat taboo and inappropriate. Within my education background, I don't recall learning the branches of sex knowledge in the Islamic society. There has always been maths, astronomy, etc. So, it was rather eye-opening and refreshing to have a Christian theologian studying this particular issue and presenting it in formal talks.
After talk, my friend, Syifaa' and I sat at one of the benches near the Quad to have some donuts. We specifically chose a bench that had a direct sunlight exposure, but I guess it was still too cold as we found ourselves shivering while indulging the warmth of the donuts. I got the donuts from the Malaysian Student's Association (MASA)'s fundraising right before the talk. I have come to terms that I cannot deprive myself of all things sweet in the effort of getting healthier. So, I have accepted to succumb to my cravings once in a while and to have ~balance~ in my life.
