This blog is created to honour the end of my Nationals Inter-School Canoe Championship 2009 and the end of a Canoeist Career in Junior College.
The 1st few post will be dedicated towards the setting up of this blog and will convey my thoughts and feeling over the 4 days event to honour the Sports

WENS > I get your argument. Don't worry though. My world functions very differently from my thoughts and most likely there will never be a day where my thoughts manifest in the real world. It means, my thoughts are just for fantasy purposes :)I wonder what will life be without things that are considered important or desirable to us. Important things like ideology, philosophy, religion, families, education, entertainment, character and also... .... friendship I guess. Not too long ago, I engaged in a conversation. I told them I desired to be alone, most of the time when I can actually be. And so I make a suggestion that I don't really mind if my parents were to throw me in a jungle to live and adapt in. I will grow up to learn the tools of my trade, hone my instinct, sharpen my senses and outwit all forms of danger. When I grow up, I will come to thank them for all the hostilities, adversities, and tribution that I grew up with.
There comes a point where Children were bought into the picture. I hated kids. I suggested that I might do that to them too, send them into the forest to grow and adapt. When they grow up, they'll thank me. I encountered much resistance tho. My classmates suggested that when they came back, they will put me into the same jungle that I sent them to. My children will then say, as suggested by them -.-, "When you die, you'll thank me".
So what are the important things to us. If we have grown up in an entirely different set of environment, will the list change? Supposedly, if my children have grown up in the jungle, will they perceive ideology, philosophy, religion, families, education, entertainment, character and friendship as important as what we have perceived to be important in our society? If i grow up in the jungle, I think I will indeed, have classify differently. Instinct will top the list, followed by pure strength, agility, reflex, speed and so on...
The issue is not on growing up in a different setting. The issue that plagued me is that, I live in OUR society yet my conscious seem to have existed in a different society altogether. The idea that I don't need friend is 1. My choice of solo-ism, individualism, the need for quietness and peace seem to have existed somewhere else that does not belong in this society. At least, my thinking is primitive and my desires quite provincial. For this reason, many people finds me weird, different, humorous, unique, odd, inhumane or whatever you name. Oh well, I better find joy in feeling different soon, or better, indifferent about it.
