im about immigrate to a really back-dated civilisation where it can be compared to the 3rd world. allow me to elucidate it futher. crammed living conditions with 4 ppl living in a plave no more than 5m X 5m (25 m2) no internet access and not so fanciable food.
in light of this, im here writing my final entry for until i return. do keep posting on my tagboard to keep it alive! ;) and i'll wait with bated breath to read them when i return to tell of my wholesome trip and the number of lives ive touched.

Life's short
well yea the title says it all (becoming a lil cliche ain't it?)
i finally figured a few things in life, or rather kind of sorted out my priorities to what life should be about. I guess we have only 1 shot at everything. Yes i well aware that there are things in which you can repeat and do again until you have hit perfection. However, the adrenaline just does not pick up the second time around. So i guess i've decided that studying is the best thing for me right now.
well this essentially means i'd have to shelve all my other plans. Of which some plans will be clearer to my closer frens and some known to all. yeap. so i guess nothing except studying this year? kind of monotonous and i would not second this form of reckless hardcore memorization of niformation, of which 90% will be rendered useless in time to come when we hit the job market. its really not worth it if you would think of it simply. its just a piece of paper, with 4-5 letters printed on it. (A A A A A). However, the world has become relatively myopic and resort to resolve their problems of picking the right man for the job base on this little slip of paper, which is nothing really. strike a match and its gone.
but its this cold hard reality that we have to face and I have to face. much to my detest of such a concept, i am obliged to worship it just like any other faithful believer in the education system. so much of the irony that being against ppl worshipping religion, i personally worship a piece of paper.

Broadcast Asia 07
i think im kinda screwed for next week's common test. main culprit: *drum rolls* BROADCAST ASIA *tada! beams*. well possibly the only consolation is delectable and scrumptous meals during this whole week, something i'll say yes to without much persuation ><.
but its been really busy and tiring. getting up at like 7 in the morning to follow my dad to the show at expo, and then send pratically the whole day at the booth trying to promote Fairlight (a company selling audio post production consoles. nvm the technical terms.) and of course the more well known DolbyDigital. show ends at 6, which is followed closely by dinner, where i'd have to join in the socialising and stuff, which will lasts till 10 plus, 11.
haven had the time to charge my camera batteries and explains the lack of illustrations in this entry. will make an effort to put some pics into my next entry.
as for now. malcolm can't wait to jump into bed and juz drop dead. just got home actually. yeap. its goodnite i guess.

Bittersweet?
YAY malcolm is happy, no wait. ESTATIC =) cuz malcolm attended a party ytd nite which was really really fun, funnie, and he made many new frens =D. he would like to say a big THANKEW to the person hu organised it =) *wide smile* and promises to get the person a nice prezzie on tt person's bdae!
den again, malcolm is not so happy cuz he's confused. cuz he doesnt know what to do. he tries so hard n pushes himself to do things he's never done before, but he does not gain any ground. so he's SAD, feeling rather poignant =(. and bewildered too. cuz there are somethings that are happening to him but not involving the kind of situation that he likes. so yea. its rather confusing and puts him a really deep doubt about prospects of life. and the more he thinks about it, the more puzzling it gets. maybe he should just take things in his stride n stop thinking bout the baffling stuff and juz concentrate on rearing his <><.

@ e zoo
sigh. im emoing now. k not so much but so many ppl emoing now so i kena abit of peer pressure so also emoing. haha abit sick of studying and still contemplating the question >.<
so i'll take this opportunity to talk bout my trip to the zoo wif some imh patients. well yea it started off as this cip trip, where we were supposed to bring imh patients around the zoo, each of us is to look after one patient. heard from rachel that the patients were quite sociable but our group turned out to be rather quiet. but one particular incident touched me deeply i would say. cuz apparently one of them refused to eat his share of lunch or snacks, cuz he was saving for his brother. it hit me rather hard that these people may not be as fast intellectually, but they do have as much if not more compassion for others around them. one of them even asked me if i had eaten and offered me their food, when he saw that they (the patients) were the only one eating, while we students as volunteers did not have anything to eat.
yea dats about it i guess. driving's going well, im still quite timid to admit, nvm shall continue having wild, emo thoughts.
