my adventure in march holiday ( 10 March 2008 )
I went to Indonesian embassy today. After I took my passport from my guardian at 10.00am, I with Kevin, Jason, Alvin went to the bus stop on marymount road. Yes, it was only four of us. The other 3 persons were going home for holiday. We took bus 132. Our destination was Chatsworth Road, near Tanglin Road. We rid a double decker bus and we sat on the upper deck. It was a really nice view from there. I just put my heart on the map that my senior lent me the day before. Upper Thompson, Ang Mo Kio, Hougang. Wait a minute, why was I here? Hougang? Oh my... I took the right bus from the wrong bus-stop. "We should be going to Tanglin Road, shouldn't we?" I asked the others. So all of us had to get off the bus and found the same 132 bus to Tanglin. "But we have no time!" said Jason. " Just use the MRT instead." We agreed and we took the North East MRT from hougang-dhoby ghaut, changed to North-South from dhoby to Orchard. We took the exit to Orchard Boulevard and there was a shower when we raging the site. After a long debate about who's the wrong today and where're we now, finally we arrived at the embassy. The officer prohibited us, but Jason to go through. He wore pants and Kevin, Alvin and I wore bermudas. After a while, the officer said that the embassy was going to closed at 1.00pm. What!! After all we got nothing?? So we must go there again for the second time tommorow......

( Misuse of ) Alcohol and the Youth
Link to the article that inspired my to write on this topic : http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/jan/23/drink.detox and http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/jan/23/youngdrinkers
Alcohol and youth are two different words that cannot be separated in this present world. Most youth know what alcohol is. Some of them have their own experienced with it. But hold on, I’m not talking about alcohol that we often see in the hospital or in Guardian right now. I’m talking about the alcoholic drink and the ‘good’ relation between youth and alcohol. Anyway, why did I put the word good inside the inverted comma? I provide some clues for you to derive to the answer.
Frankly speaking, there’s nothing wrong with alcoholic drink. The one that deserve to be blamed is the user. The user admits the misuse of alcohol and makes this happen. It is not fair to blame alcohol without including the user as the one who should take responsibility of it.
The people who addicted to alcohol consider alcohol as a good companion of this life. It will never betray you and always give happiness as a result of the freedom that people feel when drink it. It is when the people who were addicted to alcohol were asked what their view about alcohol is; they will answer the contradictive statement from the people who addicted to it. Their point absolutely will be like this: don’t you waste your time with alcohol, listen to me or you will regret when you realize that what I’m saying now is true.
Alcohol evil side shows up when people drink alcoholic drink in large amount or to make it simpler, drink until drunk. The simple word of drunk causes lots of problem across the countries in the world. Criminality holds the first rank of problems caused by alcohol abuse, while health problem, traffic accident and amorally behaviour follow as the second rank and so on.
Some example of criminality which can be caused by misuse of alcohol: raping, inter-gang fight, misuse of fire weapon, and many more. These kinds of crime affect the society, so do the youth. Misuse of alcohol is one of the triggers for youth active-sexual activity. Yet the main trigger is the influence from environment around them, alcohol is just like the vitamin or food supplement to the bad influence. When criminality and alcohol stated together, I think that there’s nothing wrong if youth with alcohol always illustrated as bad role model for other youth.
People said that alcohol can lead people to drug and drug lead people to death. For some reason it is true. As a matter of fact, people who are addicted to alcohol seem easily addicted to drug, just like tea and cookies, they are just a good friends.
Let me end this topic. I discourage you to drink a lot. It would be okay if you keep consuming alcohol with full responsibility, but don’t you ever consume it above the safe limit until you drunk. I don’t want to see your face to appear in the criminal section of the news programme on TV tomorrow.
