Cold Feet

Its been 61 days. Thats quite a while isn't it. Its a record actually. And what is Albert's excuse? He was studying for SPM. Somebody should really learn to get his priorities straight.

But all is right again in his world, after finishing SPM, getting through his SAT's(he now knows what space-time is all about!! + Evolution- we came from bacteria all right) and then the more mundane stuff like chinese and bible knowledge.

But now, the sweet taste or freedom, uh, tastes really good. As you can see, it takes a while to get the juices flowing. Nevertheless, he feels the compulsive need to tell you everything that is and will be happening in his life. The biggest of which is the US thing. Albert found out that he is headed to the upper midwest, thats just below Canada, North and South Dakota, Iowa and the like.

Cool. REALLY COOL. Like -14c to -30c cool. Well Albert always wanted to see snow. Make a snowball, throw it at people, run like hell, and the sort. Just that the prospect of being an Indian popcicle is rather daunting. But no worries, he's in it for the experiance alright, good or bad (or *&^%-ing cold).

He's leaving on the 9th of January, which leaves him with little over a month left in the country. It does suck to be leaving school forever, but it sucks even more leaving everybody else. When he comes back, will anyone even remember him?

Hey! Alvin right? No wait, its Adrian. Oh wait dont tell me, Alex!

Sigh.

But hey, when oppurtunity comes knocking, one has to open the door and leave. But he still has a month, one last month to eat everything that he cant get there, to see everyone that he wont be seeing, do all those things that he wouldnt be able to do there. On the flip side, he'll be getting $125 USD a month of pocket money. Its not ALL about the money, but it is a small token of appreciation for Albert's efforts at fostering world peace. Or something like that. Plus theres gonna be cable TV. American cable TV kicks Astro's ass. Yeah, karma rocks!

In the mean time however, he will be attending a Christian Youth Camp for another shot at enlightenment, after which he will have visa interviews and meetings with the US Ambassador among other trivial unimportant things. Like shopping for winter clothing.
