Stop Press!

Trying to finish Cyprus trip. Four new videos uploaded into previous posts.

After trotting around Southeast Asia over the summer, I'm now back in the UK - Cambridge to be exact. Am trying my best to update as frequently as my clinical course will allow.

Entries on Italy and France two winters ago have been put on hold indefinitely. Read: possibly never. But we shall see.

Entries on Greece and Turkey last winter have also been put on hold for the time being.

politics n racism

dear emilyn...

can't write much this time...sorry bout that...friggin tired...jus got back from btn...biro tatanegara...it's a camp for gov scholars furthering their studies overseas...basically to instil patriotism (or so they say)...five whole days of non-stop lectures...eight hours a day...n only five hours of sleep each day...thank goodness for the outdoor activities...or i would've gone mad!...seriously...although only a few hours a day...the repelling n flying fox really helped in keeping my sanity...but overall...ok lar...probably due to the many friends i made there...learnt a lot there really...s well s gained a lot of experiences too...although i might missed out some stuffs here coz of my bad memory...here's what i can recall...

1. i still hate politics...y?...well coz once again...politics has reared its ugly head up again...which makes me wonder if i'll b able to run away from it...true...the camp did instil patriotism...what with learning our history n present situation...but the political agenda was so obvious...aren't gov officers supposed to b neutral regardless of which party is the ruling party?...to serve the people unreservedly?...yeesh...can't believe the gov used this camp to brainwash students...all just to make us support their party n vote for them in the upcoming elections...yeesh...dirty n corrupt...that's what politics truly is about...

2. people can truly b scum...seriously...i mean...how can two hp worth rm 2000 b stolen in a camp filled with gov scholars?...scholars who r supposed to b the creme of the country...future leaders of tomorrow...i mean...people also scrutinize leaders...saying: 'how can he/she have stolen the country's money?...well the answer is: 'look at our scholars today...those who will take over the administrations of the country in the near future'...scum...

3. racism is still present in our country...n i can't believe it's prevalent in the top notches of our country's government...i mean...what the hell is bumiputera n non-bumiputera suppose to mean?...aren't i born in this country too?...don't i love it s much if not more than 'bumis'?...no wonder mahathir was still worried about racial harmony...people just need to get past the malay, chinese n indian thing...n then everything will truly b s they should b...haih...there's so much this country still needs to learn...n that's what i'm gonna do when i come back...

anywayz..that's all i can remember for now...kinda random huh?...yeah well...just extracted them from my mind...for record's sake...anywayz...gtg...starting work tomorrow...to pay off the expenses i spent on my travels n the new mp3 player i bought...need to catch up on my much needed rest...or i'll b dozing off during work tmr...so take care n God bless...

ooh...malaysian idol's on...mmm...think i'll watch that...before catching up on my sleep...

later
