observation

yes, a student i may be now. and pretty soon i will be entering the work force (horrible thought).

i've been noticing this now for a very long period of time, and i haven't exactly bring this up. but i feel that sometimes, we are just too caught up with what we are doing, and we tend to lose the ability to feel what is going on around us. and i think that's pretty sad. like how people would rather spend 45 seconds to compose a text than to go out to tell the message directly to the person face to face, when it will only take one third the time.

somehow there's this correlation between degree holders and the lack of 'feel'. not sure if it's because during the 3, 4 years of education, we have all become more selfish to get the grade we desire, or the class of honours that we want. and a part of us is lost somewhere along the way. somehow, i just don't believe in this paper chase. never before, and i'm still holding to what i believe in.

of course, there has to be balance. i admit i haven't been doing a great job of being a student, perhaps a great deal of it is due to my ego.

also, not everybody i've met is like that. and i'm grateful for meeting these people. in fact, some of them are really admirable. they are not as callous, and still have the grades. they haven't lose themselves during this period of time.

not judging anybody here, just an honest observation. of course, everybody has their own reasons. it's not really their fault either. hmm. really think i belong to a kampung. :X

last time i would have to take exams now. only 2 papers this sem. and it's pretty late. most would have taken their papers yesterday/today/tomorrow. pretty lucky for my timetable. have to deal with mini fyp and poster presentation thus far. supposed to start studying today. failed attempt at home. will be more productive tmr.
