listening to songs by Air Supply...
The temperature gets up to aroud 30, the air is dry and still, and your throat needs to be lubricated every five minutes with water which after a few while, your stomach feels like a balloon filled with water that could burst at any time. Yup, summer is definitely here eventhough the official date is on the 21st June. Gosh, I just don't like summer. Your mind gets confused with the time, mixing up 8 in the evening with 8 in the afternoon.
The end of the school year is definitely getting closer. Next week, I only need to go to the IUT for two half-a-days. But next week I'd be busy for sure. I need to move what ever's left in my room, making my shack squeaky clean again (although the use of the word 'again' might not be necessary since my room was not that clean when I got the keys), sorting out the papers needed for my new house, and of course, packing my bags for my next great vacation ~ HOME.
Yesterday, I went to a friend's house for a year-end party ( i know it's June, but you have to remember, this is France, nothing should be done the English way, so the year begins in September and ends in June with 2 months of grandes vacances in between). This is actually my second party in France. The host, a classmate, knew I don't drink alcohol, so she bought a bottle of Pepsi specially for me(and it stayed sealed, until I've opened it). But that didn't stop the others from persuading me to have a sip. Normally, I'm not a person who'd say no, but when my religion matters, I always know how to say NO. It's weird how these people make fun of religion, even if it's theirs. I didn't want to be a party pooper, so I just stayed aside talking with people who don't drink that much, usually the designated drivers. Who says you need to drink to have fun? I had fun last night. We chatted a lot, about school, about classmates we don't like, about teachers whom we thought are weird, about how stupid politicians can be, and of course, me telling jokes insulting the French, while they tell jokes insulting Malaysia (like how we still move around in tricycles instead of cars). It amazes me how alcohol can change people. I mean I've heard about it but I've never actually seen it, until I've been to these two parties. People tend to do stupid things when they're drunk, and I agree with that. And if you add smoking (normal cigarettes or joints) to that, it's even worse. Well, I'm glad I was not born in that kind of culture.
A man has dreams of walking with giants
To carve his niche in the edifice of time
Before the mortar of his zeal
Has a chance to congeal
The cup is dashed from his lips
The flame is snuffed aborning
He's brought to rack and ruin in his prime

kudos kimmy! i think you should feel proud that u stood ur ground considering you're in a community where ppl pressure u to conform just because others are doing it. i know ppl here who are NOT pressurized but go around conforming because they think it's cool. and THAT my friend, is not the capitalist's fault. it's just pure, concentrated stupidity.
well,i don't see how capitalists can be dragged into this, but thanks anyway for agreeing with me.
