Of Edward Cullen, Preconceptions, and Misconceptions

Assume

Assume that a man, perfectly ordinary in every odd sense of the word, assume that the man was told that he reminded someone of a certain fictional character, that this man was to be compared with the personification of the most desired man of the generation. Assume such a thing were to happen.

Put yourself into his shoes and imagine the ideas one were to formulate when one is compared to such a character, the ideas he might have formed on his own – they may be of no basis but it matters not, such matters close to the heart aren’t meant to have any basis or even at times make any sense – and picture the preconceptions he would have formulated on his own about the person who compared him to a character desired by many. Once ideas are formulated it is only normal for one to come up with a course of action, in order to make such ideas come to life. When a specific course of action has been formulated, it is only prudent to assume that at this point, a certain amount of hope lingers in ones heart.

Now imagine all those ideas and hope crushed… Simply because of a singular yet significant information was missed out… Imagine how he would feel

Walking By...

The one glaring difference when one compares Varsity with the years they spent in high school is the freedom one gets…

Trust me, the uniforms that you put on every morning as you prepare yourself for another day in school doesn’t make that big a difference… I mean seriously, freedom of expression? Article 19 Universal Declaration of Human Rights? I’ve actually been in debates over uniforms, and it is absolutely pointless. What you have on you does not matter, so long as you pay attention in class and understand what you’re supposed to. Forget uniforms… Do what you’re supposed to do, and do it right… and this is coming from the guy who wears his tracks and a plain white t-shirt to class with uncombed hair… but damn I looked good :P

So basically being in a University means that you manage your own time, nobody tells you what to do, and also the fact that you can skip classes as you please (just be prepared to face the music when you mess up)

Went to an audition for a role in a theatre performance, which was bad mainly cause the medium is in Malay, and we all know how well versed I am with the language. Met lots of nice people though… that always makes the day…

I will also be on my mid-semester break from the 15th to the 23rd of August… hope to see you lot soon…

Is A God Amongst Men

The Prodigal Son Returneth

It’s been a while since my last post. It has been a month and 15 days to be exact.

So basically this is a quick run thru to what has happened to me for the past month, first week was basically orientation which they referred to as Minggu Mesra Siswa or MMS for short. The normal procedural speeches and a few sessions meant to make a certain group of students more malay than what they are now. Highlights of the week would be me ending up as an EMCEE for the Vice Chancellor’s speech which was executed flawlessly and  suave regardless of the pressure my partner and I was receiving from the program coordinator. I was also to be told that I am over-qualified to be in UiTM Kedah, the Law Coordinator told me that I ought to have received a place in UiTM Shah Alam instead, doing the accelerated programme but no matter, I shall be enjoying being in a programme for Dummies so-to-speak.

Classes began immediately the week after and  my classes are as such, BEL120 (Simple English – I call this English for the Disabled), BEL130 (Communicative English – I call this one English for toddlers), MTC012 (An Introduction to Law – My favorite class by far), MTC016 (Malaysian Government and Politics – Am the personal consultant for the lecturer on this one xD), and CSC134 (Computer Science – which I call An Introduction to Computers for the Technologically UN-savvy).

Am also in the Debate Team… and blown the minds of many… and apparently that single appearance made me an ace in the University’s Vice Chancellor’s Cup line up… that performance also made yours truly the English Language Club’s (ELC) poster boy for public speaking (mind you I’m not in ELC). And Am also known to be the guy who uses huge words, I mean seriously, a totalitarian government is not a huge word, nor is consequentialism or altruism. *sigh*

Coming back for a week on the 15^th… hope to be able to catch up with you lot.

And oh yeah, it was my birthday on the sixth… I thank you all for the wishes… interestingly enough, on my birthday, the chair I was sitting on decided to give up on me and lost a leg while I was still on it. Had lunch alone, and had some stay for dinner… Peaceful bliss, what a way to mark me turning legal J
