Pardon my hiatus... been having a pretty baaad week. I think I've lived on the tangents of hell for a few days. I don't want to get all whiny here so I'll just give a summary. Basically, I suffered from a bad toothache for days before I had time to go to the dentist. Which goes to say that I had to down quite a few painkillers to survive through exams and debates. Yes, debates too.. that's a crappy subject and I honestly think its not worth my while thinking or discussing about it. Exams and quizzes... sucks. But its just part of life. And with my parents in the USA since last friday, that means travelling 50km daily from home to college so that my sis won't be alone at home.
I feel drained. :( I really need to recover over this weekend.

Many months have passed... yet the afterglow of notoriety has yet to fade. To have one's reputation preceding his presense is not an honour. Quite the contrary actually, it is a curse. To be the object of awe is to be subjected to jealousy. To gain respect is to earn hatred. What a forlorn and forsaken path to tread.

Yet, despite all that, I think I am where I should be. In asnwering a tough but simple question I was posed a few days ago, "Are you happy where you are?". In a moment, I reflected where I am standing in life. I have so much to balance out, between assignments/studying and lepakking, between true friendships and moral obligations, between college and family, etc... The list has no end. However, on this rare occasion I refused to rationalize an intellectual answer. Following the silent voice within, I gave an emphatic yes.
