Oh we do work hard, but we play hard as well. The thing is, our work is fun. I tend to slouch about in jeans and listen to Rammstein while doing research or whatever it is my work for the day entails and some days we somehow end up getting wacky food in the office, which is actually a bungalow.
Right now, we're working on a project called RockCorps and I adore the concept behind it. If you're up to date with the happenings in Europe, you may have heard of it already. It's taken the UK, US and France by storm with David Cameron endorsing the project and by actually winning an award as well.
Concept: Give four hours of your time to volunteer in a community service project and receive in return a ticket to a concert we'll be organising for the end of the year.
We have over 120 different projects planned out over a three month period and scattered across the country so anyone from wherever can volunteer. There's also the carrot: performances by two international artistes for free.
Being a concert buff, I honestly don't understand why more Malaysian youth aren't lining up to register themselves as volunteers. For the life of me, I don't see why my acquaintances are perfectly happy to spend over RM 100 to buy a concert ticket but not, for example, paint an orphanage for one.
But arghhh, I'm honestly not too surprised either. Malaysians are by nature extremely wary and sceptical people, let alone our lazy slugabed youngsters (I know I'm barely 20 but whatever). I'm starting to understand why our parents are so exasperated with us.
I know I'm rambling, I just needed to get this out. I may scrutinise this tomorrow.
