Inspired by words

Today's lecture somehow truly answered something i wanted to ask che wan all along-the great Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) experience.

Che Wan was there explaining about his research he did back then-about Malay houses. And as he flipped through the slides, i was thinking, this is MIT, being in the US, everything is about the latest technology, best facilities, forward thinking is such a necessity. Yet, he chose to retain his Malay roots and do a research about traditional houses.

then popped my Question-Being in MIT , one should be inspired by the modern marvels, being more westernised, yet how on earth would he still have the interest on traditional Houses?

Relating back to his experience at MIT, i somehow feel his enthusiasm as he flashed back through his past. I kinda feel his life was like Indiana Jones, discovering, exploring, shaping his mind. Hopping from class to class, scheduling his own timetables or classes he was interested in attending.

What that fascinated me the most is about the distinct personalities. A girl half naked/naked(i dunno) using a knife cutting her hand to her shoulders as a part of her final presentation?? and the best thing is that she got an A! Chemistry students creating Bombs and putting them under your bed? its such a MAD mad world out there. The sentence that truly captured my mind was " everyone was so distinct there, we did what we want whenever wherever we wanted, it was a free school." Free even goes to the extent of hopping to American Poetry class to even Harvard!

" At MIT, we argued ideas with our lecturers, we were more like friends. If we wanted a table as a worktable, we went and saw ourselves our own table."

" i worked as a carpenter, painter.....when my scholarship was terminated, you can survive."

"i was on the way to mexico in the deserts, and i saw this red indian(mistaken as a girl) asking for a ride"

" if you are interested in studying abroad, quit HBP now."

this was an inspiring lecture i find, making me realize how unique as individuals we are and the potential the human personality can be sculpted. To be UNIQUE , to have fresh ideas. The power word is this case is FREE.

"i believe it is everyone's greatest fantasies to study abroad, but sometimes, financial restrains us from achieving that..."

"just go for it..you can survive."

today's inspirational talk i somehow felt very personal to me, wanting to go abroad someday, these answers somehow managed to answer to my inner desire. Some might say why ask this question at this time.

Hello, i will tell them " How often do you find MIT , Yale, Harvard, Cambridge graduates walking around willing to share?"


Inspired. I wish to sew my silk of fantasy and reality.

i want to and i know that with God's will my dream will come true.
