i am now in korea having my holiday and somehow, in this hotel room that i am in right now, there is a computer with internet access!! lucky lucky me!! the trip has been quite ok so far, a lot of bus rides that are accompanied by destituted mountains and barren trees. slept throughout most of the time. the weather here is incredibly cold and my mum is incredibly paranoid. hahaha, managed to snap a lot of photos with her behaving like an eskimo, damn funny!
actually, not much has happened on this trip since we aren't even in seoul yet(that explains the dull scenery that i have been facing on my bus rides), yupz, so haven't done any shopping or other fun stuff yet. all we have done is to suffer the chilling but somehow refreshing cold winds as we follow our tourguide in and out of some random places like the puny wine and paper musuem. the food here is quite predictable and my tourguide calls korean food 'dieting food'. i totally agree with him, the food here is basically a small bowl of korean rice with lots and lots of preserved vegetables of all sorts,hardly any meat at all. but i must admit that if there happens to be meat on the dinning table, it usually tastes really really good! haha.
there is going to be some shopping tomorrow, hopefully things get better, but then again, i don't feel like trying the clothes coz it will be unbearably cold to expose my skin.>_< well, we shall see about it when the time comes. haha. btw, i managed to catch sight of a liger - a hybrid between a tiger and a lion. it looks quite majestic, but sadly, it can't reproduce.
i just read some pple's blogs. anna seems very passionate about studying; she keeps mentioning that she has to study and do work. i feel so guilty. i haven't touched my work at all and hello?? i am in korea?? how on earth can i do my work? i am so going to die when school reopens. i still haven't caught up with any of my schoolwork, especially chem!! super super dead. damn it, my holiday mood is now affected. damn damn damn.
something seems to be brewing in s72... i think it has just exploded, but i am not sure of the details. i can't go online now since this comp doesn't have msn so i can only rely on blog posts, maybe you guys and tag here and inform me? haha. anyway... i read gavin's blog and i totally agree with him. this proves that my sentiments were correct. forming such a distinct and rara clique with just some people of the class simply is not a good thing. 4sy had a similar fate and i wasn't in favour of it. note: i wasn't in the rara gang, i left them after one year coz i realised that it wasn't very nice to neglect the rest of the class and be selfishly absorbed in our own activites. hopefully, s72 doesn't become like that. i am not going to hang out with the guys anymore. not going to slack after school in the class bench to bond with them. it's for the good of everyone.
AGM has kinda flopped, but i shall work hard to keep it up. sorry, but now it seems quite rubbish to just let nature take its course coz nature is going the opposite direction. nature is not an option now, we have to take it in our hands, do it ourselves, make sure it happens. we need to change the entire social network of s72, the active portion is simply too small. in order for our whole class to have a great two years in hci, our class has to change, we need to make the conscious to mix our class so that we can finally obtain a more homogeneous friendship.
i really think this way. hopefully things will work out for the best.
