conflicted

*sigh* after much consideration, i have made my decision about the Global Outreach Program... they proposed two destinations due to the fact that our class was too big to accommodate the 20+ pax allowance for GOP groups, so we had to separate it. and on the day of the member-picking, i was absent... so after the thing i was approached by three friends about it, whom i though were in the same team... this was when i wasn't clear of the GOP thing. now that i am briefed on the situation, i am very much conflicted. i love everyone of them, i have close friends on both sides. therefore i have taken much time to consider the pros and cons of each side (sorry about that, friends).


i have been quite curious about india, being familiar with ayurveda and yoga at one point in my life; the culture is quite amazing. china i'm not so keen about - coz i have been living as a half-chinese guy for all my life - i wake up everyday to see a chinese lad in the mirror for goodness' sake. hahaha... nothing new in that sense - the culture and lifestyle i am quite familiar with. sure it would be easy to utilize my mandarin (and possibly, hakka) proficiency but i've had enough of that... i am up for anything, as long as there is a decent toilet and clean water around. but seeing these two sides have the same prospect of lavatory services, then that's not a case in point. hahaha... but then, i found one weak spot on Team China that allows Team India a lead in the race of determining whose side i'm gonna join.


after much deliberation on my running trips and those sleepless nights, i have decided to join the Heart Of India faction of 3SGG's GOP ... i sincerely apologize to the other group because i can't join you guys... without me, undoubtedly you guys would have fun anyways! :)


i wish both sides luck on the GOP :)
