I really like the new book i just got : BEAR GRYLLS Born Survivor
and i guess the most meaningful part of it was this.

Wisdom may be much admired. But what really
inspires mankind, what quickens the pulse and lifts
the spirits, is its opposite : A display of magnificent
reckless impetuosity.

Just think about it, it's not wisdom that wins the
Victoria Cross. it's the insane dash against impossible
odds. It's not wisdom that paints the Mona Lisa or
composes the 'Eroica' Symphony. Wise people would
never go into the arts in the first place. It's not wisdom
that compels people to push themselves to the limits
of endurance in order to realise some mad dreams. its
a glorious perversity deep in their souls. And it's not
wisdom that inspires people to risk everything in
pursuit of a seemingly hopeless love affair. It's
uncontrollable passion and the existing urge
TO TASTE DANGER BEFORE YOU DIE

I Just got back from Bintan with kelvin, caili, bingshun, Yang
and vivian, the resort was super nice and very close to the
cleanest beach i have ever seen . snorkeling was fun as there
were many clown fishes ( nemo ) and other rather unusually
fishes even jellyfishes lucky vivian has a water proof camera
which i could use but then my under water shooting was bad
its way different from taking photographs on land . . . but soon
after i am back i started my job and its overtime for the entire
week till sat but well i dun work on sundays lolz so i found time
to go clubbing with kelvin, yang and the girls . . . i hope i can go
back to school soon . . . working is good and the job pays alot but
thats not what i wanna do for the rest of my life .

will upload the bintan pictures soon when i receive them.
