these two weeks, in particular, will be a test of both my mental and physical strength. My all-time favourite battle between MentalChecklist and SuccessfulExecution will now have their deciding round.
CM mid-terms. QM2 asssignment. Meeting with HOD. ACE mid-terms. Meeting with CB Chair of Finance. CPA careers info session. Final week of I-ball ticket sales. Arrival of mummy dearest. I-Ball + Afterparty. Dedication of self to mummy dearest for an entire week. travelling GOOD FOOD goodies yay!
i both long for the break and dread it. The closer it gets the nearer it is to the end of semester (finals + impending age crisis). it's a pity wisdom only comes with time. id love to be stay young and never hit the big twentyhood saga of stretch marks, wrinkles and financial crisis. bwaaaa.
Patriotic Cheapskate No. 1 had a ball of a time at the Higher Education Minister of Malaysia's arrival dinner last night. Besides feigning intelligence and having two helpings of dinner, all Malaysians present had large doses of highly entertaining and substantial discussions and (as Faye put it) a fast-track to local news.
i admire the man who had to face a room full of enthusiastic Malaysian students who hurled questions like no one's business. the man who graciously took some time off the big dinner table of VIPs to chat with the students on the other side of the room. the man who embraced the inquisitive, accusing looks of many and answered all questions with ease. the man who broke the ice in his introductory speech by relating his colourful Melbourne experience 40 years odd ago. the man who stayed back after the session just to have a private discussion with the postgrads. the man who was willing to take a picture with the jackuns joshua, mervin, faye and i! hehe.
Having seen both the scholars and non-scholars in action, i can barely imagine how far the country can go with the youths of today. The paths are many back home. if none are your fancy, carve the road yourself. All of us have the potential to make it happen. A truly enlightening night that ended with two passionate renditions of Negaraku and Tanggal 31. i came home happy and one flag richer.
to the AIESECers who are up for their election runs tonight and this Saturday;
Joachim, Heidi and Luca- you all have what it takes to lead the LC, and more. Best of Luck to all of you! i'll be supporting you guys at the elections=]
