Life is like a game of snake and ladders

How? You are the player and the objective is to finish the race first. Sounds like life. To move forward, you need to take a gamble and throw the dice. By throwing the dice, you risk falling into the 'snake trap' and sliding backwards. But if you don't throw the dice, you will remain stagnant. Pretty much like life. Throwing a dice is like making a decision and taking a leap forward. But that leap forward could cause you to fall even more back. That means making a bad decision. However, without doing anything, you remain achieve nothing and stay stagnant. Yeah, exactly like life.

Sometimes, I feel like the board game piece instead of the player. I am helpless while watching other things happen. I am helpless while witnessing the dice which will determine my fate being thrown. But sometimes, its better to let that Someone Else to determine your life.

Intensive Robotics Training

Since NRC is just around the corner, on Tuesday (22/7) to be exact, all the NRC participants came to school on sat to try to finish up the robot programming. Even though we spend 5 and a half hours in the computer lab, our programs are still incomplete, especially Jin Howe's team :-)

After that, my team comprising of me, Lerg & Naj and Jin Howe's team consisting of himself, Razdan & Jay went to Jay's house to continue our programming.

After meeting Jay's mum, I think I know where Jay got his debating skills from. After another hour, my team finally completed our program, but Jin Howe's 'superman' programs still produce 'outstanding' results :-)

it says it all

Recognize these people? Ministers shrouded in controversy and doubt, definitely. This political turmoil reminds me of a Oscar nominated film scene, except that this is 100% real and original.

And this particular Kedah Menteri Besar wants to chop down a huge area of forest for its timber. He said he wants to 'make use of God's gift'. Hey dude, think of the environment and the implications that could occur.

Career Day (Hari Kerjaya)

As a member of Kelab Kerjaya, I dutifully perform my duties as 'student ambassador'. I am supposed to overlook a speech entitled 'Kreativiti di Kolej' by Taylor's, but I screwed it up in a way. I could not find the pensyarah, did not present myself to the teacher in charge, failed to register the pensyarah and passed up my report on the speech late.

Just like any Education Fair, I decided not to spend too much time in the pameran and went for the Psychology talk by Help. Not bad, the talk was quite engaging. Very likely I will go into the field of Psychology or Architecture or even Quantity Survey.

After that, we needed to clean the hall. Later, we had pizza for lunch. Hsein Lee ate an astonishing eight slices of pizza!!
