Random Quote

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne'er a word she said;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When Sorrow walked with me.

Campus election

meh.... you should see the choas e-voting is causing on my campus... there are people freaking demonstrating and holding peace walks around campus and shouting stuff like "mansur e-voting" (or was it "bantah"... well, u get the point)

As a law student, we practically learn that e-voting sucks - because firstly, we don't trust the HEP, there's no tranparency in the whole system; secondly, the votes are supposed to be secret, but with e-voting, it is possible and easy to trace who voted for who - so much for secrecy; thirdly, with e-voting, u don't have physical evidence of your vote, after clicking "submit", your vote dissapears into freaking cyber space. Thus, u're unable to "recount" the votes if anything happens, and i mean this in the literal sense of the word.

Heh... I'm not participating in their protests but personally, I hope they do get rid of it next year.. XD
