Ya-Ho-Hua Chiu Hok Mua Mua

Balai is so going to be missed by the 8 of us! (Or rather 7, since Defa UNCLE goes there on a regular basis. Or maybe 5, since Jiaqi DS and Kunfeng went there once before.)

It is probably another trip "fruitful beyond description, great beyond words to be described", following New York. But this time round, I promise, I will try my best to do a recount of it since it's very short, only 1 day! BUT that can only be after I successfully kapok the photos from Chun Ai la wahahahahahaha! (And yes, I may consider revealing your angel's identity after that. Repeat, it's CONSIDER.)

Anyway, I'm not supposed to be here. Promised SoM to concentrate and study for Chem Lecture Test tomorrow even though I'm currently still suffering from slight Balai Withdrawal Symptoms*, and don't ask me why but I miss the kids down there! Ati(Red)'s voice is already ringing right inside my head, haha.

But at least, judging from Moyi's SMS, ("let's go balai again!") I don't think I'm the only one, seriously!

Back to the part where I'm not supposed to be here. I'm supposed to be switching on my computer to check for Mr. Yong's reply regarding PW via email and Enrichment Exercises answers, but yeah, to entertain Ingmar's tag regarding posting about my misadventures in Balai, just logged in lo. Eh by the way Ingmar, since when did I tell you Balai was a misadventure! Must be some post-PW-till-5am syndrome, weird -.-

So yes anyway, read something very interesting on Thomas' blog.

"The true purpose of education... well I don't know what it is. But I am d*mn f***ing sure it is not to get an A for your exams."censorship, oops.

Ya, that kinda reminded me that although our main priority as a student is to ace in exams but that should not be our driving purpose to go to school, but getting A's for exam does not put any real value, monetary or not, on your personal worth. So, don't get stressed when exams are nearing, because you'll get what you learn, because you reap what you sow, because even if you don't get A at the end of the day it does not mean anything and does not put any value on you.

So, that sort of explains why I'm here too. XD

Anyway, try making some sense out of the title. TQ and especially Balai people are way too familiar with this :)

*NOTE: Balai Withdrawal Symptom is a medical term used on people who had just returned from their first short missionary trip to Balai. Includes having kids' singing voices ringing in heads, a sudden improvement in Hokkien, missing the Bakuteh near the jetty, having tons of incomplete homework, etc. The list is inexhaustible and is not really contagious.
Tomorrow is Tuesday :)
