		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that I'm caring so much about so many things? Why is it that whenever this political party does this, or when this corporation does that, or when this NGO does this, or this student club does that, I get so emotionally affected? How did I allow myself to become a pendulum to these unknown hands?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is May 13th, supposedly a black mark in Malaysia's calendar. Some voices are crying out in hate, some calling out for peace. Some wanted to rally, while most of us just want to get to work/class on time. Malaysians are modest and simple that way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I realised a long time ago what I really wanted out of my life. The things I'd really work for, the things I would want to accomplish for myself. Unfortunately I get sidetracked alot. Distractions, mostly. The need to explore new things, to experiment, to make things happen. 

Recently though, things have begun to look very differently. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stopped, and thought that asking myself these questions are like giving myself excuses to not go through with them. Excuses to not pursue the things I wanted to do, the things I've been telling people I would do. Is it because I don't want to be seen as a hypocrite? That I don't want to be known as an all-talk, no show?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We emerged out of the kampung into an orchard that grew a number of different fruits. We passed through a watermelon farm, mango grove and out through a banana grove. If the fruits were in season, I think the orchard would've been left empty by the time the event was over.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To respect means <strong>"I acknowledge the fact that you are here, I acknowledge the fact that you have to be respected – and more than that – I am asked by Allah that I have to know you, which is a two-way process of acknowledgment. Respect is to acknowledge you and to know that you are different and to know about you. My knowledge towards you is an act of respect."</strong> 

<em>- Prof. Tariq Ramadan.</em>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ It seems that I haven't been putting any real effort in the <a href="/2009/10/22/questioning-pursuits/">pursuit of romance</a>; probably because I didn't think it was worth it. Lately I've been going out with a few girls for lunch or dinner, and then the usual routine of walking around or watching movies or follow her shopping. While I do find myself having fun spending time with the cuties, I've come to realise that that's all I've ever valued them for: a pretty face, a lovely personality, and/or a sharp wit. I've never found myself really,... <strong>falling</strong> for them, you know?

		<description><![CDATA[It's been a wildly insane 2009 for me. I lost many friends, made plenty of new ones, and reunited with old ones that I once thought lost. I learned many new things, found myself standing among amazing people and found my hands trembling with excitement at the potential things I could do.]]></description>

Considering that this would be my first year as part of the organising committee, I have to admit that the experience was completely different from when I was just a visitor/volunteer - even though I'm just one of the designated photographers.]]></description>
