Me, Myself and My Thoughts

Back to another day of updates people... So how's everybody going? Well, I hope, and this goes out to those who are facing the National Examinations this week. May the luck be with you guys always.

So the topic for this week is decisions and why is it so hard to make up our mind. Ever been to an ice cream store, like Baskin Robbins or Haagen Dazs, you look at the display case and see, literally, tens of flavours available there. Dark chocolate, Belgian chocolate, chocolate chips, milk chocolate, and other chocolates (I dunno why, but it seems that chocolate has the most variation among other flavors.. hmm...) then you can't choose any because they all look so delicious! If it was up to me, I would buy three scoops of different flavours, but put it all in one cone, because I'm greedy :D

Another scenario then... You go to Starbucks, then the barista comes over and say : "Yes, what can I do for you today?" You smile and look up, ah, there's the menu and the special offer for the day. After 5 long minutes, you still stand there like an idiot looking upwards, trying to guess what drink you want while the people queuing behind you are starting to make some faces and the barista's already itching to hit the 'Black Coffee' button on the cash register.

Why is it so hard to make a choice? Well... The first thing is because there's always the ups and downs between two things. I remember asking my friend, who was from Australia and had a girlfriend there, this question : "Hey Kay... Is it better to be single or to be in a relationship?" He said : "There's ups and downs for both things, man..."

Second, it is part of the human nature (Yes, you and me and all the people in this world too) to want the best things in life. If you were to choose from these two things : (1)Living a good life with your great family and has a steady income and successful career OR (2)Live a shitty life begging on the cold streets all day. Man, you would be damn crazy if you choose number (2)...

If you ask me now about your problem which deals with choosing, I'd say : Choose whichever you think is good for you. It's like choosing a major for university. If your father's a doctor, doesn't necessarily mean that you have to take medical in university too! You can choose whichever you want, whichever you're most comfortable with. Don't let other people's opinions affect your decisions. If you made the wrong decision, that's fine, everybody makes mistakes. Even your parents ever made a mistake in their life, I bet. But mind you, whatever action you choose, whatever paths you take in this life, you have to be responsible for it. You can't blame anybody else for the things that you've done wrong. It's your decision, after all, not theirs.

Anyways, I think I've blabbered quite enough here. My advice to you people : Live the moment, enjoy the moment :D
Arrivederci, people

Side note : 50 days till judgement day (exams)... Nice... Clock is ticking real fast... 24 hour's not enough, really

Heyyyy people, what up? Yep, started blogging again, found out writing is the perfect way to share whatever's inside this head of mine :D

First of all, wanna congratulate the Aladdin team for putting a great, entertaining performance on March 5th (Give a round of applause guys, you did GOOD). A lil bit disappointed with the set though :(

Well anyways, here's some pics I 'stole' from the camera crew :


The Carpet Ride... Yayy...


Aladdin & Princess Jasmine

Well anyways, enough of the Arabian Nights tales, let's go back to reality. So.. There's this one question which has been buzzing in my head for these couple of days... What is life? :S
Hmm.. I remember when I was a kid, when I was asked "Hey... What's a table??" I would point my fingers to the nearest table and said : "This is a table!!" But then as we got older, things aren't that simple anymore. We gotta learn the precise definitions and origins of things. Gotta learn this, gotta learn that, not easy as it used to be. Can't give out answers like this anymore :



Yep, bet you'll all fail your trigonometry if you answer like this in your tests or exams. So, since we can't point out what life is... Can we actually describe it?

Is Life : Eating, Sleeping, Going to the toilet, Playing, Doing Work, Spending Money, Blogging?
Proposed this answer once, but it isn't the answer. The list up there is just whatever the things we do in life, not life itself.

What about this answer : Life is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have self-sustaining biological processes from those that do not–either because such functions have ceased (death), or else because they lack such functions and are classified as inanimate.
Bet you guys are thinking "Uhhuh.. So.. What's this line explains basically? It's just a sentence full of biological phrases." Well don't start pointing your fingers at me just because you don't understand it... Blame Wikipedia, I took it from them.

So both the scientific and layman terms can't describe Life... Huh, interesting.. What about from the business side? Well, this is my theory for the business side : "The phenomenon in which risks cannot be predicted by looking at distribution graphs and that profits will only come by massive amount of productivity." I dunno, it's just a theory, people, haven't proved this yet :D

But anyways, my opinion is, it's what you do and what happened in your own life which defines 'Life'. Everyone has their own definition of 'Life'. You may have a shitty life, or you may lead a great life, that all depends on what you do. Maybe you screwed up, so life got shitty. Or maybe something great happened, got a girlfriend or boyfriend after these how many years of living in solitude and loneliness, or you just got tons of money from nowhere.

In any case, there's no precise definition for 'Life'. Maybe the question "What is life?" isn't meant to be answered at all...

Side note : 60 more days to exams... Haven't started on anything yet.. Pray for me guys....
