Its 3.30am, exam is 19 hours away, and here I am, updating my Friendster blog, while the clouds are washing the velvet sky outside. Hem, need to reorganize my priorities. Been a hectic week, electronics assignment, first midterm test coming up, and aikido grading on the 18th. No rest for the weary.
Had a little crisis of faith this morning. Suddenly, my entire world is like, dark, nothing to look ahead. Must be lack of sleep. Luckily I recovered after a while. So, to everybody reading this, get enough sleep, your personality depends on it.
Still, in all the busy moments, still found some time to play Magic ™. The joys of opening a pack and finding lots of goodies inside, ahh, makes even losing the game seem okay. Yep, what matters is not winning or losing, but the process of playing. This applies to most other things as well; studying, cooking, doing mathematics, blogging, finding AC equivalent circuits…ah, okay, drifted off a bit there. Need some sleep, otherwise will go “cranky old man” mode next morning.

Once again, I’m amazed at the human capacity for great deeds of cruelty, or generosity. Someone, I forgot who, once said, that any human, given the freedom to choose, will usually choose to perform a good deed, rather than an evil one. I think it’s from Human Development studies. I think he is correct. It’s the individual’s personal definition of “good” that frequently turns out to be evil in the eyes of the majority, or in the eyes of history. China’s first Emperor Qin, is one. By pacifying the various warring states, he brought peace to the people, bought with the lives of soldiers and his rivals. Adolf Hitler, widely perceived as evil, is hailed as a selfless patriot in Germany. In the end, what is deemed good by one person, or by a group of people, will always be denounced as evil if the majority says so. Life can be very unfair to those minority, whose views and perceptions differ widely from others, whose only right are the right of majority.
P.S. Thanks for the soup, Cindy (^_^)

Coming home one day, opening the door to my room, a lizard went in. Oh no!!! It took me quite some time to ’shoo’ it out with a broom; a broom with a VERY long handle. Killing it would be so messy. Plus, I got this thing about lizards, I shiver when I see one, dead or alive. Funny, I’ve had no problems with crocodiles or dinosaurs. I remember when I was very little, I “somehow” popped a little piece of lizard dropping in my mouth. Okay, topic over. Go throw up now.

Hem, what else? Oh yeah. Aikido club’s got some new members, all foreign students. Sigh. Probably all of them will drop out after a month. Nowadays, so little people wanna get all hot and sweaty learning self-defense (no offense, but girls especially).

Heh, dunno who infected me with the flu (hope its not bird flu, yikes) and now me nose is all stuffy and moist. Cannot sleep at night too. Anyone know a good cure for flu please call me. I’m now taking two vitamin C tablets daily, plus lots of sleeping (come to think of it, I sleep a lot everyday, whether or not I have the flu ^_^).
