anyways, it's official! i'm heading off to Laos in may for YEP (youth expedition project in case you're wondering) with renjun. wanting to put myself up for a challenge? i guess not since i've more or less roughed it out many times over in my uniform group days. more of a learning and experiencing trip. i'm in different teams as renjun whom i joined the trip with but it's probably a blessing in disguise - seeing too much of buddy can bring about higher expectations which, if not met, will cause both parties to get pissed and a friendship turned sour's the last thing i want to happen right now.
i'd like to share something i've learnt. that is, old will never be as good as new. well, at least to me. cause i feel experience and a past together counts for a lot. everyone has their own perception of what is more important and what is less. i don't know if i've the right to say this but in any case, please spend more time with those you deem more important cause you never know what will happen next. i always thought my grandparents would recover but they never did, i always thought close friends lasted forever, many others also thought that their loved ones would still be there when they look back but we all know that's not always true so whatever it is, cherish what's there.
on a lighter note, here's a picture of mark's amber - the fat dog who gets fatter by giving any human who's eating a pitiful half-starved look.
