Title??

Two days ago i went for a boat trip in Kg Ayer. That was my first time seeing the other side of Kg Ayer and even reached the legendary Jong Batu. It was a nice trip. I like the atmosphere there and i wonder if there's any hotel so i can spend a night there. Really hope that i can get to experience the life at Kg Ayer one day. I always imagine taking a walk at the water village at dusk, just like one of the field trips we had in our first year. It was Batu Marang that we went to. I can still remember the tranquility i felt at that time.

These days i'm a bit down, for no reason. Hormonal change is unlikely the reason. Maybe because i was a bit busy and hungry most of the time. I hope the reason is as simple as that. I will try to cheer up soon or dear will have a hard time.

The fact that Brunei didn't manage to take part in the Olympic seems like bothering a lot of people. Sometimes i think i'm too naive. Or it could be that i'm short-sighted. Because what happened didn't affect me much. If we didn't get to participate this time, just take part in the next Olympic. Some people are putting the blame on the government departments for this issue. I think there must be lots of things behind the door and since we, the public, do not know it well, we shouldn't really criticize anyone. But i truly agree with someone on the Opinion page today who thinks that the state government should encourage our athletes to join any international sport events, instead of giving permit to participate only when they're confirmed with victory. Hm.. is that really the case here?

Honestly, there are lots of thinkings we need to change. For example, the people here should stop thinking UBDians are not better than those oversea graduates. I would say UBDians are different from, not less capable than, those graduates come back from abroad. From what i heard, in ubd we learn more courses than the oversea students so in theory, we are ought to be more knowledgeable than them. But most oversea students are more outgoing and socialize better than us. So, actually no one is better than anyone. We have different study environments and trained differently. So it's unfair to compare.

I wish to broaden my life. But how am i able to achieve that wish if i don't do anything about it right? I know, i'm a passive person most of the time.
