they say the most dangerous tool is the human brain
and at this time, my mind is the tool that can bring me to destruction.
5 seconds to self-destruction;

can we be preserved?

countdown: second to last semester!

here’s what i’m taking this semester:
JRN2903 Online Journalism
COM3408 Screen Theories and Techniques
JRN2907 Radio and Television Journalism

dude i know the subjects i’m taking seems so cupu-cupu but this semester i’m taking all arts second and final year electives cos if i’m gonna be writing essays about globalization AGAIN i’ll probably blow up and call for a revolution, and if i see foucault, marx or barthes’s names printed in my reader i’ll have an anxiety attack and plow into depression as they’ve ruined my sense of reality and identity. i’ve *almost* completed my communications major and international studies major. and apparantly, i can register to have a double minor since next semester the writing minor is opened, and with the number of writing subjects i’ve taken I think i’m entitled to it.
but anyway, the subjects i’m taking right now are quite useful for the practical side of communication and media studies, radio and tv journalism entitles me to use all the broadcasting equipment monash has paid a humoungus amount of money on, screen theories gives me all the technical theory about film which will be useful for our upcoming indie production of 3 Bags Full. Online journalism… well i don’t know about that, but we get to make our own website, so… yeah.

on another note, MonGa issue 2 is finally out! horray! Be sure to grab your own copy before it runs out.

back from siemreap, cambodia.

all i can say was the trip become more than i had expected, i enjoyed the company of those who came with me, and truly gained experience in not only cambodian culture- but also other life experience.

things that made the Monash SASS Cambodian trip so great:
1. The cheap booze
2. The $5 dresses and 2 for $3 shirts
3. The walking distance of Popular Guesthouse and Pub Street
4. The experience
5. The Pineapple Lady…
6. Furry Muppets *ahaHAHAHA
7. Bat’s Wall of Shame (Just kidding darl!)
8. Angkor Wat at Sunrise
9. The sweet Khmer food…

journal entry #3

tomorrow i’ll be heading back to Malaysia.

my first impression of jakarta after 6 months was that its traffic was getting even more gruesome, and inflation has really increased the value of products, so much that I wouldn’t understand why a pack of abon can cost Rp.20.000. it made me much more eager to stay abroad.

my stay in Jakarta was quite short, it is suppose to be a week but technically, if u take away the day that i arrive and the day that i go back, then it leaves 5 effective days.

i only had 1 day to meet a number of friends, but i’ve got to see epoth chamon ratri edith cek jdat angie babar karkeph kakek yanna sutra within that one day. although the time was so short, i’m glad i got to meet all of you.

maybe some of you have heard about the news that happened the morning right after bram and i arrived. to all of you who have sent their condolences and prayers, thank you so much.

something in me changed within this trip, i knew i was moving forward, even if it is with baby steps. there was so much that i was feeling these past few days, and those feelings made me feel like i was maturing.

i’m amazed how i can have such a strong support system, both the family and the partner.

and i’m beginning to feel more positive for the future.

amen.
