Sub project

It's Saturday and it's a rest day. Quite some time since I have weekends for rest days.

During university days, I would be out for students' associations activities, I would call it "sub projects" because studying is the major responsibility as a student.

Now, being a what-the-Japanese-call the "society man", I still am interested in sub projects. Two keywords: "social responsibility" and "institutional development".

There are indeed many options; going back to AYNJ, or being active in ALEPS or JAGAM (but both are back home), or being active in the recently built MPIJ.

Yet, I don't see how these groups can do much. (yeah I'm gonna be straight forward).

AYNJ: big gap between students and working people. And no I'm no more a youth.

ALEPS/JAGAM: both big and old players. But geographically? No way. And sh*t, most things you'll see is people find for part time job, small business chances, daily craps on the FB page.

MPIJ: slow progress and as I can see, it might just ended up like ALEPS/JAGAM.

Well i guess people are not totally into it, although they want to be part of something. Typically waiting to be spoon-fed. Or just gather to makan-makan.

I guess I'll need to find my own sub project, or just be active in those communities.
