the weather yest was good but abit stuffy after the short rain. and the PVC costume wasn't helping much. but still, Preview was great :) though i felt that the audience at the NE show were more responsive...heh. but of course...the NE show was full of highly-excitable P5 kids. haha. my mum and her friend were there...glad they enjoyed themselves :)

i am really happy to be part of all this! now i know how much work goes behind all the parade *immense* all the people, the mountains of KFC...

but most of all, i got to know many people whom i think i would have never got a chance to meet. My social circle largely revolves around people from the mainstreams...fellow racers in the academic rat race. it somehow seems natural to me that most people go to EM2 or preferably EM1, then a SAP school or at least express stream, then off they go the junior college, then Uni. a very very well trodden, no-risk path. well, not that we had much choice. at least for me. felt like i was being whisked from one academic playfield to another. breathless.

i had actually wanted to go poly to study media. but i never did. and why? aiyoh...why you want to go poly when you can go jc? go jc then can go uni...you need a degree in this society. blah blah blah. case closed.

i never really had a chance to meet the rest who chose or were channelled to take other paths the rest of us may never even consider venturing. but through the NDP stuff, i meet people of the same age or younger who already stopped schooling and looking for a job. people who do not attach half the level of importance i attached to my studies, even at my slackest state. felt rather embarassed when i asked them which junior college/uni they are from. man...i felt really narrow and shallow.

i must say, they are really great people. and very smart. quick thinking and extremely humourous. i sometimes feel slow and blockheady around them. haha. maybe the more you study, the 'dumber' you get.
