What do you feel when you realise that your government opens up a music conservatoire, offers scholarships to overseas talents to come over and study for free with allowance, and it ends up that the conservatoire is made up of all overseas students and the government proclaiming to the whole world that the country has a most vibrant arts scene to nurture artistic talents?
Apparently, they just don't see how their citizens being involved in the arts can help contribute to the economy. So unbelievably practical and myopic.
Such revelations certainly never fail to spoil my day...
Nonetheless, thank God for letting me chance upon this young lady with the sweetest smile in the evening during dinner with my teacher and friends. Now, that certainly lifted my mood and cleared my mind.
Now I think about it, there's not much point fighting the flawed system, is there?

it depends on why one fights. if one fights to change things, then one may feel that if one fails, that struggle was a waste of time. but if one fights to stand up for one's beliefs, regardless of whether one succeeds, it is worthwhile.
