I feel like beginning with a story....how long since the written word has translated the myriad of thoughts that is my mind......
We were meant to live for so much more*
Not the tears, the ache, the pain,
Not the tiny inkling within your soul,
Telling, saying, it's not right
There isn't an excuse
Why we took ourselves,
Our lives as second best
I didn't know what it meant then,
Weren't much at first,
We bear it on, it'll be alright
Everyday got drearier
And drearier, black and white
Soon it were pots and pans,
The T.V's on, no one talks,
Then what?
Our lives were young,
We had so much time,
Then it disappeared,
We didn't try no more,
We were meant to live for so much more...
~ End ~

Soooo......still depressed. This is now on call for lots of luffles, hugs, kisses and anything else. Been drawing alot lately cos attempting to avoid Torts 50% essay. Colors make Taka happy....
Sirenz, first entry for Sirenz's art contest on Gaiaonline.
Naita, entry to Naita's art contest on Gaiaonline.
Nothing substantial to say. I am a very boring person...with a penchant for smelly feet. Btw any reccomendations to rectify that tiny problem, feel free to message me discreetly.
I also have no new dramas to present..unless you like the usual relationship ones....which are.....notforthcoming, so blah. If you like, please visit other sites. Speaking of that, found a new blog about a waitress at a strip club. Veerry interesting......
I have become addicted to muesli bars. Specifically homebrand cherry and coconut chocolate covered muesli bars.
My neck hurts like anything. Think I slept wrongly and have been having fitful sleep thus....ow...ow....
Eepin said I have to blog more. And speak louder. But dear Eeps....don't you realise my life is boring. Also yes...I will die if I speak above the one decibel that is my normal voice level.
But I can't stop you from loving me.
Note to those who read this......asking for happiness. Lots of it. Make it a priority. My happiness is worth ten times hundred that. Don't care how you do it. Just make me happy.
Thanks.
Much appreciated.

Currently drinking soya milk and not apple juice though....
Depressed, tired, sick, angry, pissed and cold. Decided to treat self to a big bowl of vietnamese noodle soup with beef, pork, fish ball, crab ball and crab stick. It started raining in the morning as I trudged to politics tute. Then to torts. Then it drizzled somemore and blah so cold! Reminiscient of my mood >>
Then I finished my 3day old chocolate muffin and that soya milk and sat here.
Open day went off alright. Though in desperate need of a banner....
There were some interested people who came by including a parent who said 'it's a good game!' and a couple who mentioned it looks like othello....by the way, this was the go club table. Even had someone asked...what's this, and we said... 'Go..'
Ahem.
Cons included a girl took my go book and didn't come back. An old man from the buddhist society ate one of our stones....
I didn't get to complete my readings so major stressed and ended up missing korean barbecue and had to eat instant noodles instead so I can complete the world.
Politics essay was completed half an hour before due time.
Now onward to history, torts, another history, another politics...
Gotto do workscheme after this..
Love applejuice. It has that tangy taste to it like life...sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, sometimes bitter....

What a week, I live! I haven't died! Woohoo.
No internet for so many days....nearly died liao, so did half of Mary's I bet. Anyway...
Btw, to remind outselves, dispute reso plan due monday, politics 25% essay due monday, Open day go demo on sunday.....
Been so sick. After going out shopping with Con to get shoes, and very pretty, all silver and such, we went Karaoke where we determined I'm exactly two tones away from the actual note but I'm ACTUALLY harmonising.....so.....hm, given that I had a sorethroat, phlegm choking up my airways and a head cold, and can't hear myself, that's pretty good. Damn expensive lah ..... just to find out I can harmonise.....
On sunday....I died, and didn't make it to heaven. Sickness invaded and decided to stay so bed rest whole day. So......like that. What to do. Had to even solicitate Conz to deliver my mortal's present. Unbeknownst to me though, my lovely wonderful gorgeous Guardian Angel arranged a bouquet of deep orange roses and a lovely note outside my door. Roses! He's my new best mary's guy. And yes, I know who he is. Andy Hua out there, daisuki desu ne! He sorta revealed himself during Nautical Ball. Hehehe, so sweet.
Went make up shopping where apparently it is the norm for sale people to start slopping stuff on your face.....
TT...maji kai....yo ne....
Had disp reso team meeting late on wed, so had to rush back and start make uping and getting ready for ball. Vanessa's mother did a great job fixing the straps on the dress.
Steph was there too, or here rather, back from a department honors open day thingy. So she helped ahem...fix....make up....experience....
Hate...make up. When we were putting it on, I looked like chinese opera singer. With my complexion looking like chinese opera singer, you can bet it was rather......aiyo....
No words, no comment.
In the end it wasn't so bad. Just a tad paler than I thought it would be. Turned up abit white ish on camera. Btw photos are available on Facebook.
Nautical Ball was cool, I turn into....weird wild overly excited overly vivacious female embodiment of something in a dress. Everytime I hear music and people are on the dance floor, woohoo, let's rock it up.
Cons
- too much drunkeness, hate hate hate
- food icky, you think they could afford to feed us better, us overly thin girls
- really too much PDAs (public displays of affection) with people hooking up and making out in front of EVERYONE. C'mon, get some modesty there.
- Puke.....
- Alchohol on dresses, yes, if you're going to dance, keep the booze away
- Urine on floor, 'nuf said.
- Drunk people dancing, elbow me again and I'll carve your eyes out....
Pros
- My girls look so pretty! How beautiful, how gorgeous, how womanly they all were, thumbs up two fold.
- Friends = good time
- Dancing + good music
- Sudden rise of c'mon come 'ere attitude from moi, let's rock it up xD
- Photos, always a must and some good memories preserved.
In the end, it was rather great. Had a phenomenal time, absolutely fun, and a definite good way to spend time with friends. There were of course the usual gossips and oh my stuff and oh there's a cute guy thingy going on, normal spice.
Feet on needles, got back safe. That's cool enough.

I'm determined to learn to sing >> /edit post *point to Eepin's blog 'vague funny and somewhat determined'.
Actually more like to find out if I CAN sing.......which is.......actually not proven given situation currently. I know I should be blogging on 'Reutersgate' (apparently alleged staging of hero civilian carrying dead girl from Israeli bombing to promote the cause of Muslim insurgents...or something like that)
So to continue my mark of selfishness I shall concentrate on singing. Yes...singing.
Con and I decided....well actually encouraged by Ann and me being self deluded during the heaty period in shower, decided we should sing for MADfest (music, arts, drama). Connie can sing....albeit.....very taiwan ish pop girl, but she can sing. Me I don't know. Seriously. I've never sang in public besides choir in high school, drowned out by the other voices. You can never hear what the choir is singing anyway, we weren't good enough. And no one has ever blatantly told me 'you're good' or 'you suck' so I never knew if I could sing. Over perverse shyness and a low self esteem over my strangely shrill voice (hmmm, this not proven also I think my voice is shrill due to the fact someone called me cute and omg you sound so cute with that voice, I'm determined to think I have a higher than normal voice), so I think I can't sing but I enjoy bouncing around my room pretending to be a rockstar and sometimes belting out songs to the computer.
Thusly invited Eeps over to 'be judge' and 'to stop laughing' and after half an hour 'to stop cringing for goodness sake I'm not THAT bad'.
We wanted to do disney songs, since......those are the only one's we like and can sing to, ahem again. So I put on Reflection from Mulan, and Journey to the Past and Once upon a december from Anastasia, and When you believe from Prince of Egypt. Some other random english songs made their way in to as I tried to prove my songstress inside. After the first few sobs from Eeps, and my apparent lack of understanding of 'sing from your diaphrapm', he was extremely aggravated at the situation that sometimes I'm completely ON key and sometimes completely OFF key.
He was in one word, stumped.
But I'm not tone deaf, that we confirmed.
When he nearly had to go home, TADAA, we found out what the problem was. I can't sing low notes. Completely go off according to Eeps. My range go from medium to high ish.......>>.........tried Once upon a December again and tadaaaaaa, he said, that's actually ok. So poo to that girl who once told me I was flat.
Ahem.......now Eeps go everywhere cringing at the experience, OI...I WASN'T THAT BAD!
Me and Con in room singing A whole new World, she on Aladdin, I on Jasmine, and we brought her on a higher note so she can go lower with the ending of every line...I think that's what it was called, and I just whatever let go on Jasmine's part. We don't sound half bad *ish delighted*.
Now I just need to make sure someone other than Eeps confirm that I can sing....

Me, born, and if you haven't guessed since the last horoscope, near afternoon =)
Youth horoscope:-
Taurus Rising
You are very calm and deliberate in your actions. You don't like to move too quickly or act hastily.
Sometimes you are quite stubborn, and the more that someone applies pressure, the more firmly you resist.
Outwardly, you appear quite calm and self-possessed. It is not that you suppress your feelings, but that your exterior does not reveal them very readily. At the same time, you show others an earthy kind of warmth and friendliness.
You enjoy comfort and the good things of life.
Sun in Pisces
You are a very sensitive and emotional person who quickly picks up moods and emotions from other people and makes them part of your own. This trait makes it very easy for others to hurt your feelings. Because you have the ability to put yourself in someone else's place, you have an exceptional understanding of other people's needs. Whenever possible, you try to help others, because it makes you feel good about yourself.
Very often you like to go into your own private fantasy world and think about ideas that mean something only to you. Just don't spend so much time there that you lose track of what is happening outside in the real world.
You may be somewhat shy, because you feel you have to trust people before you can really open up to them. But even though you are shy, you do need other people, for without them you feel lonely, even in your own private world.
Sun in the Tenth House
You are a person who wants to make great achievements in the world and to be in control of your own destiny. You find it difficult to follow someone else's orders unless you really respect that person. If you apply yourself to your work, you will accomplish a great deal.
However, while you are young, these traits will make it difficult for you to accept other people's authority.
Your relationship with your father is very important. You will be greatly influenced by his ways, although you will occasionally disagree with him and try to rebel.
You want to know what the world is about, what is important in the public eye and what is generally considered significant. Among people of your own age, you will try to be a leader, and your peers will look up to you.
Moon in Pisces
You are a very sensitive person with strong feelings. If someone makes a harsh remark, you take it very hard. In fact, one of your tasks in life will be to develop a thicker skin. But your sensitivity is good because it makes you kinder and more considerate of others. But you should stay away from people who are always negative, because you pick up and react to their feelings very quickly.
You have a rich and lively imagination, which can make you very creative.
As you get older, you may develop an interest in the occult and supernatural.
You are very likely to avoid conflicts, even when you should defend your own ideas. If you do not stand up for yourself, you may attract people who will exploit you and take advantage of you.
Moon in the Eleventh House
You have a strong need for friends who support you in whatever you do and who make you feel better about yourself.
Your moods will have a strong effect on the course of your friendships. But be careful not to act inconsistently toward your friends and make them feel confused about your feelings for them.
The goals you set for your life will be enormously influenced by the attitudes you have learned while you are young. Be careful not to get too set in your beliefs, because that could prevent you from taking advantage of opportunities when you are older.
Venus in Capricorn
You keep your feelings under control, and at times you may find it difficult to make friends. This is because you express your feelings more seriously than most people your age. However, make sure that your relationships are not based solely on what others can do for you.
You are not self-indulgent and you can control your desires quite well. You will plan very carefully how to be rather thrifty. You are at your best doing everything in moderation.
Venus in the Ninth House
You enjoy any activity that allows you to enlarge your experience. You enjoy traveling to new and different places and learning about ways of thinking that are different from what you know.
You like to relate ideas and concepts to each other through a sense of harmony, because they seem to belong together rather than because they are connected logically. You are attracted only to those ways of thinking that involve human feelings. For you, beauty is a basic part of the world as it should be.
Mars in Taurus
You work carefully and rather slowly, but your results are almost always good, because your thoroughness makes up for lack of speed. You are also quite stubborn and will resist anyone's efforts to speed you up.
You have a strong desire to own things, and your possessions are very important to you. If you decide you want something, you will work very hard to get it.
You may have a problem with jealousy, tending to be very possessive of the people you love. You have to allow your friends some independence, or you will lose them.
Anger can be a problem for you, because you have difficulty expressing it until it builds to the point that you lose control. The problem is that other people may try to take advantage of your apparent patience, not realizing that you are really angry. It is up to you to let them know how you feel.
Mars in the Twelfth House
You may often be afraid to assert yourself because you feel defeated, and you are sure that any effort is futile. Your attitude may have resulted from being with people who haven't encouraged you very much. You must build up your self-confidence and disregard anyone who makes you feel bad about yourself. You tend to work in secret and to act behind people's backs, which you should try to avoid.
However, you are really quite a strong individual, and once you overcome your childish fears about yourself, you can be very effective.
Another positive point is that you work very well alone. All you need is for people not to discourage you.
They are seriously....scary.
Onto international night. It was surprisingly fun. Slightly embarassing, but not as much as for the bday girl Sapna xD, turning 18. We dressed up, me in the lovely white and lace trimmed kebaya top and flowing skirt, Connie in a sleevless red chinese top and black skirt and Ann in a blue Vietnam traditional outfit. We also did a small greeting in our languages saying welcome......Selamat Datang ke Malam Antarabangsa.
Food was alright, entertainment was slightly drawn out in some performances and short in others, but still lots of laughs. Except in the middle where an aboriginal representative came to play some music and did a 20 min speech on the disparity of lives between his community and the rest of white australia....yeah...go international unity.....
Announcements were made for the Clyde (pub) was booked, and alot of people went. We made a brief stop at the SCR to celebrate Sapna's birthday, where we also convinced certain people to go to the pub to spend time with certain other you know whos. xD. Lots of photos taken, I want!
Me no go to pub tho, not my scene and.....meh, not my crowd. Less than 15 mins pass though before the girls returned xD, Connie and Ann stayed in my room and we sang disney classics. Trust us to make our own fun ....heehee. Connie nearly ripped out my arm at the sight of....ahem you know you...>> and I promptly hit her chin......ouch.....
Even I didn't react that much.......>>.......
Blah.....anyways. I look good in a kebaya......

Horoscope one:- me, born on 1st March 1987 near 12.00 noon.
Your sun sign is Pisces. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Taurus, and your Moon is in Pisces.
Sun and Moon in Pisces
Your astrological position indicates fluidity of character and infinite receptivity to a multitude of environmental forces. Your understanding and sympathy are all-encompassing, but by wavering and vacillating, you become susceptible. Though gentle and kindly in your attitude toward friends and associates, you are frequently hesitant to initiate a relationship or undertaking. The result of your restlessness and emotionalism may be a loss of self-control. The delicate, sentimental strands of your character depend too much upon external currents to maintain their flowing activity. You bring your intense sensitivity to love as well as to more casual human relationships. The key to a more harmonious existence lies in clearly focusing your consciousness.
Ascendant in Taurus, Venus in the Ninth House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Taurus was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Venus is located in the ninth house.
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiacal belt and within its rulership there are determination, common sense, possessiveness, and a tendency to seek material wealth.
You appear as a solid, secure, even slow person, fond of moving along tangible lines, disliking abstract speculation.
You are loyal and steadfast in your affections. Your overall attitude is amiable, exhibiting much patience in dealings with other people. You are a sensuous person who likes to indulge in healthful but always pleasurable activities. In spite of this, however, you have a tremendous capacity for exercising both will-power and physical strength. A major difficulty you encounter in life is due to your inflexibility; once you have made up your mind, you are closed to all other suggestion or opinion.
Venus, the ruler of your life, appears in the ninth house. This directs your life, despite the less intellectual aspects of your basic Taurus nature, to the pursuit of philosophy, religion, metaphysics, logic, and in material matters, to land travel. You possess much common- sense, practicality, and healthy sentiments.
Your higher thoughts are fine, rational, analytical and well defined. You can become a patron to anything which includes both reason and beauty, and which will enhance existence with joy and a humanistic spirit. Most important, however, is that you have a kind and gentle disposition and an avid love for culture.
Saturn in the Eighth House
Saturn was found in the eighth house at the time of birth. Because of the restraining influence of this planet, matters concerning legacies, inheritance, and the financial dealings of your partner or associates could be severely limited and may be frustrated by what seems to be harsh fate.
Psychologically you are rather serious in connection with sexual affairs. You approach sex with caution, rationality and planning. Excess reason and thought in this direction may create some frustration in sexual matters.
Venus in the Ninth House
Venus was found in the ninth house at the time of birth. Your mind appears as very adaptable, gentle, peace-loving and tactful. This position indicates that the secret for your ability to reach a state of harmony and emotional balance may come through the use of your higher mental powers. You have been born with an exquisitely refined, artistic mind which has a very subtle appreciation of all that has to do with culture. Your disposition is kind, congenial, gentle and sympathetic and you have a natural ability to assist other individuals.
This position gives you much social intercourse with intellectual persons and success derived therefrom.
Merely minor disabilities will affect you in your intellectual endeavors. The worst that could happen would be an overly inquisitive, indecisive nature that never seems to be satisfied. However, you have within you the ability to avoid these psychological obstacles.
Sun in the Tenth House
The Sun was in the tenth house at the time of birth. The Sun here promises honor, success, and prestige in adult life. Publicly you appear as a vital, proud, powerful person. Your individuality has the need to manifest itself publicly and often to foist its energy on others. You have come to life with a satisfactory physical and moral heredity and you are going to acquire the favorable disposition of many persons of power to assist you in your ascent through life.
Your liabilities include an exaggerated pride, arrogance and a tendency to rely too much on your own resources.
Moon in the Eleventh House
The Moon was found in the eleventh house at the time of your birth. You should be an individual with many friends and acquaintances, both from within and without your home and domestic circle. You are a person who can make friends in the highest social categories as well as with persons of an inferior status.
This position may also increase the possibilities of having a satisfactory family life and a very congenial domestic aspect with the potentiality of easily fraternizing with other people.
Horoscope two: me, born 1st March 1987, midnight ish.
Your sun sign is Pisces. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Scorpio, and your Moon is in Pisces.
Sun and Moon in Pisces
Your astrological position indicates fluidity of character and infinite receptivity to a multitude of environmental forces. Your understanding and sympathy are all-encompassing, but by wavering and vacillating, you become susceptible. Though gentle and kindly in your attitude toward friends and associates, you are frequently hesitant to initiate a relationship or undertaking. The result of your restlessness and emotionalism may be a loss of self-control. The delicate, sentimental strands of your character depend too much upon external currents to maintain their flowing activity. You bring your intense sensitivity to love as well as to more casual human relationships. The key to a more harmonious existence lies in clearly focusing your consciousness.
Ascendant in Scorpio, Mars in the Sixth House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Scorpio was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mars is located in the sixth house.
Your life will be marked by your shrewd, secretive, obstinate, clever, and reserved disposition. You remain an enigma: with these traits, your life events could be either very tragic or very fortunate. To which category of Scorpio do you belong? There are two types, the extremely emotional, attracted by those pathological aspects of biological relationship, or the highly mystical, concerned with spirituality.
You are a person of extremes, very sensitive and desirous of attachment. There is some attraction to the occult or to psychic phenomena. You are active in the sense that there is a psychological struggle going on inside you between the positive and negative poles-those of affirming and satisfying or rejecting and repressing. You are very intense in your feelings and remain passionately attached to the person you love. Similarly, when you dislike someone you are very fixed in that feeling. However, there is room for optimism in that: whatever type of Scorpio you may happen to be, there exists a desire deep in your inner self for psychic regeneration.
At some point in your life, after the occurrence of a major dramatic event that will affect you deeply, the goal and entire expression of your ego may alter entirely. The intensity and profundity of your passion, however, will always be constant. You have a tendency to go into the shadows and secretly plan the course of action you will take, reluctant to let others know the exact nature of your mood or feelings. In your sexual affairs you are full of passion and strong attachment.
Exert more control over your passions; don't be so resentful of others. Use your strong will and character for favorable and beneficial things.
You have a strong inclination to be involved in medicine, perhaps even surgery. You are attracted by research and investigation in general.
This position indicates that your actions will be geared to work. You are going to be very energetic in work and enthusiastic in all labor-type duties. Your treatment of other people in work will be liberal and sympathetic, but when they respond in a similar manner you become angry and over-authoritative. People with Mars in the sixth house should be their own bosses or carry on independently in business as when they are subordinate to others there is a tendency to work too hard.
Saturn in the Second House
Saturn is found in the second house at the time of your birth. This is not a very favorable astrological circumstance for the general course of financial matters in your life.
It might be difficult to maintain a relatively fair position because of financial losses. You might also take financial matters too serious, and burden yourself with worries about them.
Your arduous and dedicated work might produce little for you financially, but it does help to strengthen your self-worth and your appreciation of other values. Therefore, do not be discouraged. Saturn often grants a fairly normal financial status at an older age if one exerts oneself in this direction.
If you make an effort to acquire greater enthusiasm in business, coupled with more liberality, life will change by the same degree.
Venus in the Third House
Venus was in the third house of your horoscope at the time of birth. You are keenly interested in the creative arts, and your thoughts and words are surrounded by a halo of beauty, taste, and proportion. Your mind actually feels the emotions connected with nature and the higher aspects of things human. Venus here augurs pleasant and kind relations with members of your family; the disposition of your intellect is congenial, youthful, and attractive.
The keys to a better integration of both your mental and emotional functions consist of deepening your personal relationships and of turning the mind inward so that you may be able to know the world better by means of true self-knowledge.
Sun in the Fourth House
The Sun appears in the fourth house at the time of your birth. This is an indication that parental name, family affairs and other domestic matters are of the utmost importance in your life.
Sun brings honor, pride, and fame to anything under its influence, and it is indicated that the problem of these influences here is that proper success for you cannot materialize until you are well past your mature years. There appears to exist a very strong attachment to one of your parents.
You believe in being the "ruler" in your home, and the sense of privacy is extensively developed in your nature.
As life passes you will experience illuminating insights connecting your individuality with certain racial and family elements. Study them. You will then perhaps discover the nature of the spiritual mission which destiny requires of you.
Moon in the Fifth House
The Moon was found in the fifth house at the time of your birth. This indicates that you will participate actively in business speculations with many changes occurring in this respect. You were born with a knack for dealing with people and with the ability to communicate with them, particularly in connection with business enterprises.
Your emotional nature is very much geared to your love of pleasure, and you possess a very curious aptitude which may bring you financial gains as well as pleasures in business.
In spite of the positive qualities you have, the fact of the matter is that in love you are very changeable, unstable, or too preoccupied with trivialities.
Your love feelings are very well developed and lead to strong drives for sensations and passionate tendencies which unfortunately are not directed to one object alone.
It is possible that throughout life you may be connected with small and numerous business investments with a fairly good return.
Which one do you think is me? xD
Surprisingly correct...I'm blown away..........

The socialist society held a demostration yesterday, protesting against the war between Israel, Lebanon and Palestine.
Sure.....it's a ...just cause. Who would ever sanction war except for loggerheads who thrive on ignorant bloodshed.
Though one could always make the case that protests halfway across the world have no effect on politicians currently in midst of war.
As I walked past the chants of "Terrorist Israel! Go Go Israel! Fight against injustice of a stolen land, of a bloodshed land! Go Go Israel!"
I realised why I went to such lengths to avoid a society whose ideals I do prescribe to.........
They were full of hate.
Such bitterness from a bunch of middle class university students. I say middle class because even the poorest who could afford to come to this uni must eat better than the 'rich' families back home. Certainly if they could afford time protesting so much....
Such hatred for people they do not know.....such hatred for families and brothers and sisters who they have not met and can not possibly fomulate the type of living they must endure.
Sure...I myself holds the position that Israel actions are sometimes and most of the time unjustified. Same goes for the other country, for there can never be just one nation at war. I myself have countless times ravaged at American actions. But....never hate.
Don't hate people you don't know. It makes you like them....like the politicians who argue that people outside their ethnic group are less than humans, who argues that others deserve to be stamped out because they themselves are always right.
These protestors who sit upon immaculate lawns, fighting with words and a microphone. Why don't they sign up with the army and stop the war? Why do they not rise to the ranks of powerful government positions and international organisations and work towards halting unilateral state action. Why do they not travel to the heart of conflict and bang those helmetted heads together and tell them to see reality.
Answer: hypocrisy.
Like me.
I sit here and all I'm concern with is making it through the day. Having good meals. Going through readings. Having fun. I'm concerned with me. Obviously. Sure, people die, people suffer, people go to war. What do I do with them? I can't go there and sooth their pains. I can't influence their leaders without being in a position of power myself. And right now I'm a uni student. Lowliest of the low.
Students are the generation's bright light. They go to schools, get good grades, enlighten their minds specifically because among them, we'll find our future leaders, our future professionals in medicine, in law, in technology. We find the people who will look upon this degenerating society and say 'now that I've reached here, I'm going to fix it'.
And protesting while still in uni isn't going to fix anything. Seriously.
How disgusted was I, passing this bunch of people blindly following, without new solutions to anything. If we could end all wars by sitting around, the world would be.....strangely peaceful. Added to the fact that they were emphasising on stolen land and all that. It's been 60 years. Get off your pedestals and stop inciting hatred in the new generation. Why do you think we have terrorists? Because they grew up with the same hatred, with the same thinking that force will solve conflicts, with the same refusal to come to terms with the other group.
So selfish.
Unrelated note:- Finally started speaking during tutorials. In Torts and in History tute. People listened. =). Bonus points ting ting ting. Bonus points ting ting ting for social skills too. Spoke to a girl in politics lecture.
