Had late night party yesterday night. Young and wild, nothing beats these people.

As usual, my eyes opened at 8am despite all the late sleep and fighting fatigue nights. Opened my eyes to a room filled with many sleepy head squeezed in a 3 room hotel.

Woke up today thinking it was a Sunday, cause usually our night activities only happen on saturday. Put on my shoes and rushed down to Perth City church which was only 10 minutes away. Thought I would be able to catch the 9.30pm mass. This 10 minutes of walk was the most scenic view of Perth I had seen in the last 10 months. I didnt realized they had natural wood high tension wires, well paved marble tiles or even hibiscus planted along these walkway.

I have walked along this exact path for at least 20-30 times, none of it was like today.

This was when I realized I've graduated and I'm back being Alvin again.

Did not really enjoy Perth to begin with. A tough moment I had thinking and concluding my stay here. A harder fact to accept what I achieved out of here. A even benign fact was that I realized I have been treating my coursemates as friends rather than competitors.

Now that I'm sitting in this church, sometimes I wonder if God really exist? In religion, good deeds are promised to have good returns. Good people are normally well treated and normally be treated well in return. But things are different here.

I regret not holding my breath long enough to put these friends as competitors. That I haven't had a strong mind to filter off other miscellaneous things other than flying. Cause I was afraid of change and changes that mum had warned me about?

But actually, sometimes its better to change for a bigger cause. And at the end of all this saga, return to be who I was.

Others don't define me, I defined who I am. Let's learn from this lesson and mistake I've made and not fall prey to these irrelevant things again.

Good morning world :)

I hope someone out there could feel what I'm feeling.

Hi Blog.

The lonely days are getting lonelier.
It's like there's no friend when it comes to fighting for our future, I give up on my organization long ago, lost my purpose in working for it. Totally disappointed cause most of the time people do things as an defensive act to protect their asses rather than a friendly act to improve things or as a beneficial ideals to innovate. Good people gets utilized and warn out, while bad people rose sky high and created their empires. Mum have always taught me that if you don't like a certain behavior towards you, don't be like them. But I'm tired of staying on the good side and getting bullied. There's no credit in being Mr Nice over here. Stones everywhere, fingers always pointing. A simple problem or task that everyone tries to avoid. A cost that was not paid by the responsible people. I can bare to see no further. There was no way I could reason things out to myself how it happened the way they happened.

In this land of kids where people play hide and seek, where kids rules and adults are treated like prisoners, I can bare to see no more. Strings every where, tongue shoe shiners and under table handshakes. When you heard of them, you can do nothing but shake your head.

They say if you can't beat them, you can only join them.

I'm going to be strong at the end of all these and survive every single moment of this. I'm here for my salary and go to a good home.

To my future wife and kids, will you blame dad for not being able to climb higher on his career for the morals that he cannot cope with? Gonna be smarter in my next course, outwit all these competitors around me and know how to protect myself more. I'm tired of seeing good people dying.

It's a lousy feeling to be outplayed by politics. I hate to loose, more than I ever want to win.
