I tried. (really hard)

Tried really hard to keep the atoms that hold me together intact, so that my existence could resonate through the postings of blog entries on this blog. Alas and alack, there are always forces trying to disperse my atoms that composed me, trying to cease my existence.

Blame it on the ever increasing workloads!

That’s Independent Study Units, lab reports, maths assignments, essays, plays reading, etc.

Blame it on the laze and idleness in me!

That’s procrastination, a series of dilly dallies, and that dread, that binds together with a sheer amount of guilt at the end of everyday.

Time to catch up on blogging, my conscience chided me. And I planned to do just that, out of the new found freedom and relief upon the completion of the first semester of senior high.

These are a few notable events that I would like to tell the world!

1. My meeting with the Education Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Hishamudin Hussein (and all the media frenzy and publicity that comes with it!)

2. My attendance at a workshop at 95% Training Academy, at which I met the person who won Malaysia’s first international advertising award - Janet Lee.

3. My presence at the MIT admission talk, where I was utterly inspired, utterly.

4. My meeting with international best-selling author, Tash Aw, the author of The Harmony Silk Factory.

5. The whole brouhaha over my lack of suitable “credentials” to be the right person to be conferred the award Valedictorian 2006, although it was already awarded to me for nearly 2 months now.

6. The ending of my senior high first semester, that includes an emotional Physics period on the last day of school, for Mr. Anton Gillich will be leaving for Canada (He misses the maples).

7. My new-found burning passion: Media, freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom of expression.

That’s a lot of topics to cover! And it is a tormenting start for a supposedly fun and relaxing “summer” break…
