counting down the days

Marked 2 dates in my calendar:

23 May 2010

The day i finally set off to Kampar, Perak to commence the next chapter of my study life. Academics and co-curricular activities come in mind at first, but then there are those other 'things' that your life wouldn't be complete without.

My reputation, how will it go from here? Will I still be known as the fat guy who plays the guitar whenever there is a function or a performance? The dude who likes to stay in front of the computer most of the time? The same old dork who likes to play defensive in basketball? The lazy one who rarely studies for exams? The ever Man Utd fanatic?

To be honest I'd like others to experience a paradigm shift, a change in way people look at me through different perspectives. I'll try to curb my temper and my addictions for as long as I can, until I get immune to all of these unwanted distractions. I'm pretty confident that I'll find a group of friends whom I can get accustomed to and reliable when the going gets tough.

Will I lose more weight? Will I be more involved in sports? Will I try my hands on a completely new field I've never been into in my life before? Will I finally be a part of a music band? Much to be desired, I guess...

It's hard to see me staying around in a place without my family for more than four whole years. It's a transition most individuals go through in life(my parents included). I mean, National Service is nothing compared to the time I'll be spending here at Kampar... All in all I'm just worried that I might get homesick and let that inconvenience deteriorate my pursuit for excellence in youth. But I'm quite sure that I won't be one who misses home too often.

Then that's the question about love... Oh why do people keep telling me to find a partner already? I'm not in a rush at all, so yeah, I think I'm fine being single. It's just that looking at people in love with envious eyes makes me feel like breaking down deep, deep inside of me.

All the best in your respective paths, fellow school-leavers :)

27 July 2010

Release of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty.

The most anticipated sequel of all time. 12 years since the first Starcraft game was released.

Thing is, I really have to adjust my timetable to allow some free time for the game. It'll be time-consuming that's for sure, but what an experience it's gonna be to actually play it!!!!

Financial issues... gotta start saving money to buy that USD$60 game!!
