Dear TomHa,
Don't you realise that the caucasians are really good at glamorising every single thing that they do? I mean, just look at their construction workers. They are so technically endowed in equipments that are so cool, I want to be a construction worker, although I must admit that the appeal applies really much to me since the gears they use at height is basically the same as what a mountaineer uses at altitude. I mean, all those karabiners, ropes and ascenders and descenders, not to mention those really nice headlamps (Hey, I have a weakness for headlamps alright?), what the heck am I doing in school? I do not want to become an engineer already! I want to be a construction foreman! Oh yah, back to the point, the caucasians are really good at glamourising everything they do, which is a really good thing as basically it makes every job equally cool, unlike Singapore where construction workers are just perceived to be lowly-paid foreign workers who does not like to study! (My mum threatened me this ever since I am a young young boy...You better study hard, or you would become like them, sweating it out at work..Unknown to her, that's what her boy wants...) So yah, that's my point. Xinpei calls it the power of photography. Perhaps all good photographers should help a bit! Let those Bangladeshi have more pride.

I wasted the whole of yesterday and a good part of the last 3 hours. At the end of it, I was spiritually happy but productivity wise, I swear I can cry. I did not touch a single page of my textbook or notes or whatever yesterday, the day before yesterday and on Thursday! What the hell was I doing?? Climbing around, slacking off, running and then more slacking off. I have no mood to study! To add to my misery, I have a test tomorrow and exams in 2 weeks time! Wow! Sometimes I just amaze myself. Wake me up when November ends...

Watched Tom Yum Goong, one of the best no-brainer action flicks I had ever watched. Come to think of it, although I am a hard core chinese kung fu fan, Muay Thai is not bad either! I mean, how many action stars fracture at least a limb off like 50 baddies in one single scene? How many can fight for a single take for a full 4 min action sequence from 1st storey to the 4th storey? OMG, I think Tony Jaa is better than Jackie Chan with all due respect! But, it is easily the most violent film you'll ever watch. Wen wei was shaking his head all the time throughout the movie! Haha, it is certainly not for the peaceful loving. We Thais love peace, but we do not like it when we are taken liberties of...

Nonsense of the day:
Dad, talking to those parking coupon enforcer, Fatimah! No need Hari Raya today meh??
