Off to Amsredam with mixed feelings

Well, got 2 As for my exams...the happiest part is that I did it myself.

really proud of myself.

I need to trat myself for that and finishing 3 exams.

Unfortunately, lessons goes on and i'll miss some of it.

It's so strange that there's no break after exams....cos I'm so used to automatic shut-off and trying to forget all that i've learnt.

That reminds me...i'll bring my address book so i can write more postcards...i bet there'll be interesting postcards from amsterdam.

I'm going with raymond, and 2 of us will rampage amsterdam.

Drugs, sex, tulips and windmills....i wonder what else?

Be back on 3rd of May.

Btw, on 30/4 = Amsterdam's Queens' birthday and the 4/5 and 5/5 is like some major celebration with lots of celebration, gays and fan-fare...

We're taking the 6am flight from Luton = ulu airport....need some shut-eye.

Love u guys.

And the Lu, Lionel. Char and yishan better take care of my pansies....!! stumpy, hunchback and hung.....

hahahahahahahaha.......should i try their hash cakes....hmmm.....cest la vie or not to cest la vie?

where do i start? how do I end?

someone said that the only thing about taking the easy route is that it's easy.

it's not so much as to be understood than to be heard
not so much as to listen to what is said
but why was it said
and how was it said.
For if not for the nuances, subtleties and idiosyncracies of humanity

..........................Ah srew it....just finished 2 exams and I have managerial econs on thurs...

i just came back from a talk at the royal society on climate change and crop change...
now really, the human race is increasing in numbers and how many people can this earth accomodate sustainably? Food shortage is faced by the world but felt by the poor.
A lecturer once said, food so essential and so nourishng, yet people expect to pay as little as possible for them....is that capitalism? and so the people who feed us....the poor farmers, what do they get? A just wager?

We can't play god...if we haven't already....so do we capitalise on the fact that taking a life is wrong but pursuing all efforts in preserving human lives will do less harm then good? for every child born in a developed world, how much longer will the developing world stay that way.

Instead of thinking anthropocentrically, let's put the world in the centre. The world is as mortal as everything else. when our star develops into a red giant....white dwarf and finally a black hole...will everything be forgotten....ok so this is billions of yrs....and we'd probably find another planet to inhabit....but from now till the last generation living on this earth, how much of this natural world will be left?
