Fatal Leap

A twenty-one year old bloke committed suicide by a fatal dive into Unimas' famous man-made lake, as reported by Borneo Post. Not included in the news report is the suicide note left by him on his blog here. Major cause that influenced his decision was probably depression, as reported by majority of rumors. I raised my hand to agree in joining those who opted to pick the same opinion with the majority.

I also faced the same emotional problem ever since I reached second year of my academic years. No I did not commit suicide. I just kept quiet, quiet, and attempted more silence, but I let go off my pent-up emotion into blog. When I was tired of looking at the laptop's screen, I led a lonely walk by the bank of the lake, said "hi" to everyone I knew, stared at the slender hip of female joggers. I never thought of drowning myself into the lake, anyway. When I was tired of walking, I went to my friend's apartment to distract their everyday chores.

They later introduced me to one boring art called hisap sisha, which needs no translation if you are very well-informed about our current youth's lifestyle.

No I don't smoke. Cigarette is not my companion. I wonder why people inhale smoke. This is a suicide form too.
