Here I sit in front of my laptop, the internet is slowly dying, 14 MB left of internet usage.
Something really stupid just happened to me. As usual, I am a jar of stupidness. Even kathir and E will surely agree on that note. I was printing my stuff in the computer pools in campus. It’s a big campus and there are like 10 computer pools, so there are like 10 printers around. That day, I was printing my stuff and turns out, my document was sent to some printer which is not the one located in the computer pool I was in. Printer no. 8, I just couldn’t locate the printer. So, I went around the campus just to look for the printer. By the end of the day, I just gave up and went home.
One of the best feeling on Earth is just hold my earphones really tight against my ears, listen to every bass of my favourite Lifehouse and scream really hard on my pillow. Oh how much I miss you guys. Yeah, if you are reading this, you are one of the many people I miss. I guess there were a time when we’re laughing with a lifehouse song I picture in my mind at the background, right?
I am enrolled in sustainability engineering practice which requires us to design a project in Tonle Sap for the people of Cambodia. I am so stuck. Seriously stuck.
Design a library keh? or moving school? or a private latrine facility on water? I guess people like me should actually go to Cambodia to have a look at the problems there rather than checking online.
Sometimes I do wonder what is like to be like them, be in their shoes. I do pity them. Most of the kids drop out of school due to poverty. No having a chance to see a better tomorrow. They work as child labor as we happily eating our Hungry Jacks. They enjoy the splashing of fresh water on their faces while we suffer the hours in lecture?
What makes us different? A universe apart or just a hair line fracture closer?
post-script : I’m tired doing the project. I should continue. Am I making the world a better place?
The one that will keep you in his heart,
H J Tan
