i wrote this down on the bus back to pgp. din bring any good book to read for the journey home, so might as well write sth. hee..

the world is still the same as i read about it in the news - terrorism on the rise, muslim extremists being blamed, floods, elections, features on advances in science n tech (did i mention that my prof got the limelight in two recent articles on cancer?) *yawn* doesnt the world ever change, for the better? it was a lot more enlightening when i picked up an 8days magazine. i guess entertainment portrays an ideal world that we long to be in, untaunted by the many mishappenings. for sure, many shows are beginning to be more realistic these days, but even in that there is this sense of idealism. Sigh, i dun know whether u can follow my flow of blabber..

oh, and this special feature of 8 days' in Adelaide was a real boost, too. i guess the reason why i din take much interest in browsing thru travel books was that these places would just remain in the pictures to me. all that has changed now. new possibilities are opening up n i'm seeing myself on the move - travelling! this mus surely be the fruit of a good job that pays well enough for me to go out of this tiny island. yesh.. i'm very much looking forward to that!

sigh, was jus thinking how good it was that my lab fren shall be off to US for this summer camp. it's really a marvellous deal, n i guess some of u ppl might know bout it. for the benefit of those who dun, well, u go for a summer camp to help facilitate n look after the kids there for about 3mths. think about it - 3mths in US! what an experience! though i'm not that keen on US, still it's really a 'wow' (sorry, ran low on vocab to describe this feeling of awe). in return, u get a free ticket (i think), accommodation n food provided for. plus, u get to meet a lot of people from around the world! really splendid! my fren went for it before last year n i din hear a word of complain from her bout it! ;D

well, i guess this whole future of going around the world is now quite feasible. onli that it cant happen right after i graduate, which is sad really. i was looking forward to the trip to Perth at least, from my uncle's sponsorship but since the anticipated arrival of their first grandchild in May, he has not said anything about that again. i wun wanna pester him over such matter either, dun wanna b a financial burden to him. shall look for my own keep, then go out to the world to have a peek. even going home after exams seem bleak now.. o well, onto writing n sending out my resumes by tis week..!
