I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

This song ( or only this verse ) makes sense all of a sudden . No , not that I'm feeling down or whatsoever , it's just that this song serves as a ultimate reflection of a teenager ? Perhaps , someone who's in desperate need of help ?

Today i watched this very useful programme ( thil thil manathil ) in central . The host was talking about the mind map ( courtesy of Tony Buzan ) seminar . It's a whopping $80 for that . Thinking about it , I just realized that I'm blessed with his notes ! Ha ! Thus , I saved the $80 now . They even interviewed this guy , this year's president scholar ( one of them ) OCT Mikail Kalimuddin of Hwa Chong Institution . He got a scholarship to study in Brown University In USA and his specialised subjects are Economics & Political Science . The host added that he made the indian community proud . This is because , our indians are deemed to be irresponsible and are branded to be unable to perform in examinations . Thus , our reputation is tarnished . All thanx to those intelligent indians who choose to excel in something else rather than in academics ( maybe i'm speaking for myself ? ) .

Mikali gave this wonderful quote , " Education is just the foundation for us to achieve our goals " . This actually shows us that education does not fully develop an individual . But it's how well you unleash your true potential using the skills acquired through education . Isn't this great . For all the peeps out there , who ( like me ) used to think that education is the path for better jobs thus ensuring iron bowl . Nah , how wrong were we ? .

Ok . I am going to address an issue here . It's about the AIT saga . Man , my eyes welled up with tears upon reading the article in the straits times . It's such a pity that out of 900 students only 160 have their fees safeguarded under a government initiative which protects foreign pupils in case a school closes down . What about the 740 pupils ; who were cheated of their hard-earned money ? I strongly believe that the officials of the AIT Academy and Unicampus must do something to help out the 740 students . I shall quote what a student said .. which truly accentuates the unfortunate situation of the students .

" I am stranded without money and without a qualification " -- A student from Indian who came here to study Hospitality Management , saying he borrowed close to $15 000 from the banks to finance his studies at AIT .

I acknowledge the mental trauma that you're going through now . I share your grief . I really feel sorry for the 740 students . You guys came with a dream , with the goal to study , but due to some unavoidable ( i think ) and unfortunate circumstances , you are faced with such a dilemma . I hope you guys will stop believing in private institutes like this , for sometimes , things can go out of hands . For those out there , who think that this problem would end , I would like to show you what a lawyer said about this situation .

" If a company goes belly up , then the secured creditors and preferred creditors such as CPF will get their money first . The unsecured creditors , including the students , come last " Quoted from Lawyer Lee Teck Leng .

From this , it is clearly evident that even law disregards students ( this is specific case ) . It shows the incongruous state of students and the society . It really gives us the vibe to resort to some measures to curb this problem at its roots . This is truly a pernicious state ! C'mon .. do something about this !! To the lawyer , I would like to point out that that is an undesirable , deleterious policy . Please try to change that .

So people , let's pledge to make full use ( worthy use ) of our ephemeral youth . Let's produce the intelligence to snuff out the fire of injustice . We will outshine the society and create new laws for the oldies to abide .

Ok . Coming back to my own social life =) . I had to teach that Surinder how to tag and what tag means !! Surin .. c'mon look around , don't just dwell in the benefits of technology but learn to use them wisely . I think you need the help of the techno whiz ( me la .. who else .. hehe ) .

PS : Sorry to sandeep . Man .. I couldn't turn up for your birthday party . I'm really sorry for that . I hope you forgive me . Happy 18th birthday pal ! :)
