Local universities. A cry of frustration...
They say that there's nothing like uni life, and these are the years that you'll recall with fondest memories.
Really?
I've met more idiots and unopinionated, spineless, ignorant and socially inept people here than interesting ones with a zest for life. There are a few, though. Those of whom I attribute my sanity to and feel honoured to know.
No societies (think the Interact and Leo Club) where you could meet unique people, organize and participate in great activities. Every club is made up of nerds, nerds and more nerds! And these nerds jump in glee at the prospect of organising more academic-related activities.
Proms are made up of lengthy speeches and academic awards. How much boring can it get? A friend of mine refused to wear a dress that had a low neckline because the Dean was gonna be there. See how they kill the fun? Goodness, it wasnt cleavage bearing low, nor was it Jennifer Lopez low. It was just a tad lower than your usual top.
Chemistry Night and Pharmnight and Physics night is where you go to have nerdy fun. I would love to attend the Communications night, or the Fine Art's Night(if they have any) just to prove my own allegations wrong; that outgoing people are not a protected species in local institutions! But it'll be so 'muka tembok' of me to barge into something like that! :)
So here I am, about to enter my final year, with no feelings of contentness, only those of frustration because i'm surrounded by kiasu geeks who cant look up from their textbooks to smile and say hi. Who cant take a break and read the newspaper instead. Who dont seem to have anything to say about anything. Whose idea of fun is sitting in a lab more than 10 hours a day.
I guess i'm just too happening for a local uni...heheh! I tried looking for a money tree in my backyard. Honest, I did! But there were none. That's why I'm here.
