寻找“玖泊地”

In approximately three weeks, my search will be over.

What will my geobody be like?
- read my paper

Will it be a revolutionary look at Malaysia and Singapore?
- unfortunately not! Then why am I slogging my ass off? I rather return to my prodigal roots than be exploring the reasons why I need a passport to do shopping at City Square...

What contribution will it give to society?
- the same answer to what usefulness are the other nine trillion research papers cluttering library, archival and cyber space

Would it have changed history?
- YES! History is constantly being reinterpreted though it wouldn't have changed my life nor the 20 million ones around me...

What are the opportunity costs?
- sleep, spotless complexion, all the M-size garments (!!!), movies, invaluable time with frens, yakking with mom, prospective boyfriend (whom I would have met if I have time socialising), a better sense of humor (diminished by crappines and neurosis due to lack of sleep)

What good has it have done me do far?
- saving $ from shopping for cab fares to NUS

Why am I still mulling over geobody?
- IDEALISM & blind FAITH (plus perverse pleasure for self-torture)

Most importantly, I do it for myself (and for you). Just to get myself onto your "TO DO" list, I would have done it 3x over (eh maybe... :P)

Thank you and good luck! I will miss you...
