Wakey, wakey ...rise and shine.

Hello children, this is your pastor speaking. As you all know, this blog has been rather dead and when I mentioned 'dead' , I meant the crawling webs of a cyber spider around this blog and its chatbox. The only thing that seems to be doing well is the music chart, courtesy of mods. Still, if you think I'm going to ramble about how life has been, well I'm going to surprise you by not doing so. I now ramble about things that are a pain in the arse for the 'rakyat of TOA'. Firstly, may I congratulate TOA admin for doing a surprisingly good job at the beginning of term. You finally listened to our pleas and came up with a system of a sort. Now what we need next is an online portal for students to check their results ONLINE. Yes, don't be daft to think that we students have no internet access, if you must know...our connections at home/rented-room are faster than the ones TOA provide in school grounds. So get working!

If you don't know, our former HAD lecturer is in Shanghai. I have no real details except her greetings to everyone to keep everything going. I do honestly hope that the earthquakes have not taken a toll on her journey and we all wish her the best of luck in what she's currently pursuing. Kudos to Bryan for joining the MM team, annihilate the rest because you know who you are and what you're capable of. I've receive word that Amir is back on track with a lucky lady beside. Congrats mate...hope you'll do well this term. David, good to have you back mate. It's been a while since we've really talked, I'm glad you're back on track. I honestly do not know what will becometh of 'Diedethians' but I do know that we're right on track and it is our job to do our damn best in all that is put before us. For those of you who may think that everything in life is now mundane, don't give up. Nothing is easy in life, it's the journey that matters. So have fun while progressing towards the next phase. I do not carry a lot of wisdom instead I carry with me the wisdom of all the people that I've met in my journey through life. It is their words that I speak and preach, not my own. Maybe one day I may pass these words to others as I continue my journey. You are all gems and unique is every way, don't ever let things that cannot be controlled beat you. It's a fucking game, online game. Things you cannot control are AI,connection speed, game map and of course, other players. What you can control is your own ability and you will be the one to decide how you will play this game. Skills can be developed and intuitions sharpened, never ever forget the main element of the game; HAVE FUN! Similar in life, in everything that you do, never forget to have a bit of fun. We're all here on this planet not for ourselves only, but also for others. What's gaming without team work?

Whatever you take, be sure to sow back into the world. We, designers have a unique voice in this chaos of a world. Use that to its ultimate advantage. We're the one to speak when nothing can be said, we're the beacons when others are lost. Find your own voice and say it with everything that you've got. Material things of the world are always temporarily. Everything you consume, is being paid dearly by others. So remember that it is our duty to sow back the resources into the world. If everyone takes, soon there will be nothing left to be taken. Wisdom cannot be obtained without experience, so go out and experience life. Every day is a new one full of life and opportunities. So make the best of it. You ONLY live ONCE.

cheers,
Chris.
