control room

im destressing at this point of time. just finished watching control room with jelita. it was a very interesting documentary about Al Jazeera network coverage of the Iraq war. it’s funny how sometimes we rely too much on the media, hoping that there are truth somehow we see. i had conversation with Adrian after he finished watching control room yesterday. the conversion went like:

zTeDz: hows control room
Buttons: not too bad
just got me walking out of theatre not having alot of faith in our media
zTeDz: u mean u have faith before?
Buttons: not really
but u know…..
its one thing to know
and another to find out
zTeDz: true… but whats scary is people think they know until they find out :P

anyway….

i finally overcome the fear of PR application. i sent over my application for skill assessment to CPA despite the state of completion letter that i have. oh well, at least… i tried….even though it costs me around $350.00

also, on a new development, i embraced my first sin today, sharing that burden with Jelita, we bought a King Size Twix (OMG, IT’s CHOCOLATE!!!).. i can already imagine the implication…. 3 rounds at Optus Oval… urrghhh….

im getting sentimental each and everyday. it has been a long 5 years. uni life is surely interesting. i remember once when i was still at foundation study, i asked myself, you have a long five years ahead of you. i cannot believe that now i can look back, and says ‘what a short 5 years’.

the last five years have been really mind shaping. i got to know who i am better. i got to know many people i would never had a chance to meet. most of them have lead their own separate lives now. 2 years ago, when i was in the States, most of my friends have left. it comes to the extent where upon my return, i had to delete 2/3 of people in my mobile contact list.

the last year, many more had gone. and soon, it will be me.

for the past 8 years, i always have a plan. for the next 8 years, i have none.
i feel guilty and i feel lost.
one thing i know i cannot surrender.

earlier today, the highest court in Malaysia freed the former deputy prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim. He had been serving sentences for 6 years following conviction on corruption and sodomy charges. the court overturned both the conviction and sentence of the sodomy charges.

it would be interesting whether this will impact on the political makeup of the country…. in the mean time, he will be travelling to Germany for medical treatment.
