Wrecked, frazzled and brainwashed

I pledge, that as soon the stupid contractor finishes renovating my house and reconnect my bloody phone line and as soon as I find where I stashed my modem, I shall dedicate one entry per module of this course I'm attending, avec illustrating pictures. Because I'm having the time of my life right now and it's just not right that I deny all of my readers (all 2 of them) the pleasure of sharing the most illuminating experience to my life as yet. Ahem.
As to that, allow me the small honor of updating everyone (the 2 aforementioned) that I just finished my Citizenship and Constitution of Malaysia (roughly translated) course. It was in Melaka and what it was, was basically 5 days of a certain one person bashing and repeated reinstatement of all the justifications of why a certain detainment act is necessary to the whole lot of us, diplomatically put. What it was to me was a demonstration in absolute denial by various degrees. I managed to practise my poker face and read Pratchett under the guise of taking notes.
But not all was in vain. I learnt the lyrics to some patriotic songs (the ones that all this while I only vaguely recognise thhe chorus), crash course in the history of this fine nation and most of all we managed to visit Melaka town. It was great fun especially us looking very retro awesome in our regulatory white school uniform.

I'm gonna try to upload pictures now. Am posting from my cell so we'll see.

... I failed. Later I will try again. Till then, my little brother's college convocation is today. Joy. Congrats brat. Now get a job so I don't have to give you duit raya this year.
