I had a tough steak today.
So was my luck.
So was my day.
I shouldn't stay too long at the fair.
So let me go with my dignity.
So you can still have some sanity.

That was not an attempt to a last minute poem by the way. Today would make a good show on the Akasia slot on TV3.

Enough sulking.
Let's talk about something fun.
Today I was invited to Permata to give a talk to students who are going to fly to France this June. The catch is, they are yet to sign their acceptance letter. I desperately tried to control myself from opening my speech with 'So, are you ready to sell your soul to the Devil himself?'. Instead, I just gave a briefing on how life was like in France.
It's so fun to see their innocent (or not) faces. Seeing that their life is still full of hope and possibilities whilst mine is quite in a deadlock (especially after the other thing that happened today). I remember being in their shoes, and how I wished that I'm still wearing those shoes right now.
I couldn't help feeling old when they started to call me abang (ewww). I mean, I was quite used to it when I was in Jasin even though most of my juniors are of the same age as I was, but at that time it was I who required them to call me as such, out of respect (lame, I know). Today, they called me abang, because, theoratically, I am an abang to them. Heck I called a person who was 22 abang too back when I was 17 (except for Zeff, because it wouldn't sound right - Abang Zeff? shudders).
At least at first glance, I could tell that they were good kids. Not a group of ingrate-no-shame-at-all-anarchic group of people like the one that we had a few years back (siapa makan cili, dia sakit perut). I really do hope that they would do well, so that when they come back to work, they would go 'Ooo, itu Encik Hakimi yang jumpa kita dulu kan?'
I need some cheering up. Michael Bolton didn't work. Help!
