I can't remember much over what I have done during the first half of 2007... mainly work I guess, but wow within the last three months of 2007, alot of meaningful and memorable things happened to me... mainly because I got myself into human rights issues which at least for once, it is something that do not give me a lot of hangups or regrets... I can say I feel good about it as a person..... I feel that I am doing something meaningful, I feel that my time is well spent (beside playing Xbox and with my little niece), I do not really feel lonely without getting into a relationship (though I still wish one day I can get to know a special one :P), basically I just feel spiritual about it (like someone coming out from a church with a halo above his head). Ironically the last time I felt liberated was to abandon Christianity.
In fact I think throughout this post, I can only talk about my activism in human rights... and just to add I am glad that my film-making experience can be put to good use too... say within a short span of three months, I think I have contributed, shot and edit at least around 10 videos to youtube (all on human rights and social issues
Just to add, I just did a video coverage about my friend, Seelan Palay who staged a 5 days hunger strike outside the Malaysian High Commission to protest against the ISA detention of the five Hindraf leaders... and gee I spent my 2008 new year countdown outside the Malaysian High Comm... even if there were no parties or pubbing, it will be one of the most memorable experience; just camping on the sidewalk with Seelan and another human rights activist Kai Xiong.
But in the midst of all this, I wish for a long break soon, I am quite tired of my own work and really yearn to go America this year and I also wish to embark on my own personal documentary about finding my nanny... and to cut down smoking :P
Hopefully this 2008, I can fulfill all these...
Below are the video links of what I have done so far :)
