Brutish necessityUnconquerable nemesisAs colourless as the void in our heartsAs the heavens above . Here the sky cries everyday Poem by my friend . I took this stanza out because it managed to encapsulate the way I'm feeling now . Not as though I'm trying to bring out a subtle idea but rather to express the intricacies of the heart -- my poor soul . Alright , coming back to more important stuff . I am currently involved in this NUS-World Bank Symposium . Priveen , Kristine , Farid and I are in the Team Millennia . It certainly proves to be an eye opener in my case . It's actually the most propitious time to argue on social issues . Believe me when I say social issues . We are working on poverty but not the vague term but rather , we've planned to narrow down the scope in order to find the absolute meaning . In depth research that is . I'm thankful for this opportunity . I was feeling great upon arriving at NUS . We were ushered to the 4th floor of the central library . I was astonished to see those undergraduates immersing themselves into their books and notes . Their anxiety , tension and stress was palpable . I truly loathe our education system . ( Like as though it matter ) . It looked like as though those students had great thrist for knowledge . I'm highlighting on those bona fide passion and not the false ones . Oh well , I wonder ... about time I master the art of pretending Sports is definitely my raison d 'etre but like what I've mentioned above , it's about time to start pretending . Haha . We've come up with the theme . Now it's just the scope . Today , Priveen and I considered all the ramifications of our ideas and suggestions . Actually , I'm excited to see the outcome . Since we've to limit our research to SEA , it has become more like creating awareness among ourselves . To be frank , I learnt a lot today . I was certainly surprised to find out those ' blind to the society ' factors . I've been an imbecilic teenager . But to consider , Am I the only one ? At the rate that we are going , I am certain that our ( teenagers ) rate of ignorance is sky-rocketing . How pathetic can this get ? To those who stood out of the crowd , I salute you . ( To the others ) maybe we should forget the idea of ourselves flopping onto our silky sofas and gormandizing on our delicious food and give concerns to those who squat by the walkways of central shopping malls with metal bowls in their weather-beaten fingers . All about social issues . WE MUST TO SOMETHING ABOUT IT . Since we are tomorrow's leaders !
