teachers day performance was great. esp the teacherman vs slackerboy. slackerboy seems to describes me.

(so far i've gotten two zeros for math assignments, and failed 4 math tests, including the common test. wow. now i need about 80% of the rest of my assignments + tests + pop quizzes+ CT to pass math)

i went back to my pri school. not one ri boy soul is sight. batches after mine have no loyal ri boys except me!!! i'm so disgusted with these chaps. no excuse man, when you see 7 rgs and 9 ny girls from the same batch it is highly unlikely there are no ri boys. ( my batch is 2 ri, 2 rgs, 4 TCHS, 4 NYGH...perfectly balanced)

aneway i need to stress that i am proud that my pri school has bred an rgs girl who got GPA of 3.9....and she's none other than Hong Jia....*claps* kay lar not much value addedness cos she's been thrashing everyone else in the school since she came in...but topping rgs is....0_0

engaged in a long long convo with Hong(chinawoman, Lulu ought to learn[on a side note she does remind me of comrade gabriel lee...a bit]) and Christine(pro @ humanities, same height as lois).

i thank lois and jimr for showing me it is possible for diff genders to become normal frens. tokked abt the good old days. for a long long time. went well considering that it is my first time having such a long convo with girls. then i told a dirty joke that they didn't understand then they signaled for me to leave(by suggesting browsing for mp3 players and music cds). oh well. I'd better keep jimr's advice on mind next time. if possible.

acheivement of the day: i know something about electronics that huanglu didn't! HAHAHAHA

I personally don't understand why so many people just dun appreciate philosophy... it is so intriguing... with such far-fetching yet possible implications. the main barrier me and philo is that i am unable to put my thoughts into words.

there was a case of a mass suicide, where the people claim that they are killing themselves to escape from the matrix. STUPID. they obviously haven't thought far enough...just absorbing what the other are telling them... what a waste of lives....

also the way people act, i feel, is pre-determined by their 'philosophy of life'. if you live in a society where treachery is valued, the way you act will be different had you taken the confucian school of thought.

this leads me to think that philosophy is very important. i am not trying to deny the credibity of religion, but seriously speaking i feel that religion is a very powerful simplification of a thought that would lead people to act in a way that if they come together, they can form a strong, united, a properious society, and this would help in the advancement of the human race.

(mitch and lincoln i plead for your forgiveness in advance)i feel that religion could have been created to control the human mind in a positive manner. and i am glad to say that i feel that many people are really thinking about their own religion, judging from the fact that most of the people in the world have religion that instils good values beneficial to the society, instead of 'evil' religion. i feel it would be really tragic if human lives are lost because of this priceless gift to the human race.

science and religion need not coexist, but it would be best if they could. sigh... sometimes i wish that the earth was stationary and immortal, the sun goes round the earth, and that stars were pasted on a perfectly spherical wall. then we could all continue to live in this beautiful illusion. it is no wonder galileo was punished... he didn't deserve punishment, in fact he contributed immensely to physics, but he destroyed man's beautiful dream. he had hurt us unknowingly.

it would be disastrous and unthinkable if everyone think of religion as some form of superstition. when the great unification theory comes to light it would shatter the man's beautiful illusion once again... and i feel that a rather large proportion of the people in the world in the next generation would regard religion as superstition... and it would be tragic.

free thinkers without a philosophy or religion to fall back on, i feel, do not have the protection of an omnipotent being or an all-encompassing principle from the disturbing things that one will encounter in one's life. he would have to think, very hard sometimes, for a solution that have already been given indirectly in the form of religions and philosophies, and if he decides to take a short-cut or give up in the middle of his thought process, he could just end up like the people to kill themselves to escape from the matrix.

it does not take a true genius to come up with a philosophy, but to really bother to think through all the disturbing facts of life and summarise them in the form of human language requires a lot of work and patience. it can at times to really tempting to take short-cuts, but they CAN be fatal.

i feel that people who are not really bothered with philosophy should have a religion or 'philosophy of life'. and people who want to depend on their own mind for answers, be prepared for a long, rough and dangerous ride, and get lots of exposure too.
