dreams and affinity

i seem to have this strange affinity with issues pertaining to chinese ethnic minorities man. Like this unexplainable desire to go visit mongolia and do some work for the kids there, and now watching news on BBC about the riots in Urumqi and feeling utterly disturbed by it.

really strange affinity (seem inapt a word to use as well... just a stronger feeling and emotionally stirred). This group of people just intrigues me with their , can i say, hybrid identity. Their central-asian and chinese affiliation identities. their culture, their people, their problems. even though I haven't been there, I already smitten by the potential things that i think i can experience and see. I really just feel like going there to see the place and soak up the difference in culture and life.

but ok lah, I also hope to explore Egypt, Israel & Jordan, Cuba and Europe some time in the distant future. Maybe as a peace ambassador i hope, or a aid worker or maybe just be a tourist haha.

hmm... maybe i can really consider (if my grades allow... or rather if God permits) Peace Studies and International Relations in the future. or if grade and circumstances allow, international law..... hmm....
