it seems that although i have actually quite a lot of free time here, i end up blogging or sleeping or hungry. today i did that stupid sudoku puzzle, and yeah, its fun..supposedly you get a rm1000 scholarship from NST (can i mention that?) for active participation but its more for the juniors..and come on la, some people here are already on scholarship. they dont need to work back etc etc...

water crisis in college : showered at my friend's uncle's place last night and did the laundry there. they were so nice to us! we had dinner there and her aunty actually handwashed some of the clothes cause the machine had already done 3 cycles (omg, i felt so bad after that). it was a really trying day yesterday. we woke up to a water crisis in college and today the whole town doesnt have water, but somehow the college does. strange isnt it? i guess thats the cost of living in a third world country.

maybe the college is trying to go all "Lessons in Life" with us.."you never miss the water till its gone", Ha HA.

besides all that nonsense, some people are still in an uproar over the cartoons and if i'm not mistaken, March 3rd is the official World Protest Day against those damn-ed cartoons. well, i only have one thing to say :MALAYSIANS HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOR and we are UNREASONABLE , actively practicising DOUBLE STANDARDS. i dont think the people who actually drew the cartoons understood how offensive they were. therefore, it wasnt intended to to cause all the uproar. maybe poking fun at it. nonetheless, they still achieved an uproar on a global scale. i think its getting old- this whole issue. it turns out there were more than 1 newspaper that commited the cardinal sin of putting those cartoons in their issue. some tv stations aired it, and if i'm not mistaken, one is state owned. 

so, my beloved country, which do you want to be today? the pot or the kettle? it doesnt reall y matter, they're both black. 

i doubt we can appreciate absurdist theatre, and i doubt, i sincerely do, we'll ever progress beyond the mindset of a third world nation.

hmm..its seems i'm back to my angry self. goodbye PMS

by the way, there's been another price hike in petrol. and what do "they" do to pacify us? by telling us that if there was no subsudy, the price would be higher. why dont they just say "HEY! you buncha ingrates, if we werent so kind as to pay for some of what you were paying, you'd pay more. so shaddap and love us more" at which point we are supposed to stoop to the floor and carry on with our groveling. the media amplifies this belief, sowing seeds of numbness into our already dulled brain.

there was a marxist thinker, herbert marcuse, who said that the media dulls the ability for critical thought because it basically spoonfeeds and hypnotises the masses..and it is this critical thought that is necessary to progress as a society. i cant recall the exact quote, but that's the gist of it...more or less.

HOLIDAYS!! start NEXT FRIDAY!!

O Time, may you fly by till the holidays start that i may not have to endure every single moment in this hellhole agonising over wanting to go home. then may you effectively slow down once the holidays start that i may savour every single second of it, and forever be grateful to your kindness, O Time..
BUT,O Time, you never do that. its always the agonising wait till the holidays that you prolong and the holidays itself that you quicken that makes me shake my angry fists at you, O Time. be good to me, O Time, and i will manage my time well.
thank you, O Time. now let class fly by for i cannot stand that teacher.
