Why some people drink coffee everyday? Why some people smoke cigarette everyday? Why freshgrads want to find a job asap? Why some people are anxious to get attached? Why some people believe in God? Why Jiahong and Jiangfeng wants me to get a girlfriend? Why Minghui thinks I would "fret" when I can't find a passion? There may be hundred of reasons, but could one of them be that People are afraid of Freedom ? Everyone thought that they love freedom, but subconciously they know that freedom is scary. Without something/someone they can depend on, or attached to, or tell them what to do, be it a thing, a person, a religion, a goal, etc., they don't know what to do. They felt lost, empty . " Life has no meaning ," they would say. And I would agree with them too. After experiencing so much freedom alone in a foreign country for extended period, I realised that, ya, Freedom. Is. SCARY. The only person deciding what ...

An instructor told me when I am in US: "It is always a good experience to live abroad for a while. Not only can you see new things in new country, you also see new things when you go back to your old country." I am back. He is correct. I see many things now with cynicism. Many things are so stupid. Hall allocation. Swine flu alert levels. Case of NTU student suicide. Etc. People wasting energies on purposeless things. *Yawn*. And because many things have become purposeless... time has lost its value to me. These days my working hours on weekdays have increased from 830 to 6 to 7 to 7. Plus I have to work on Saturadays. But the funny thing is, I don't feel a thing. No dulan, no complaints. OT OT lor. No big deal. Nothing else purposeful to do anyway. When you take the Slack philosophy to the extreme, you will find that you won't mind Work anymore. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Btw, I have already concluded my search to the ...

I find the whole thing really absurd. The student body completely rejects "3 person per room" scheme. The student body complains cannot get enough room. Of course, SAO spending so much effort coming up with a stupid plan that allocate rooms by distance from home rather than by merit doesn't help solve the problem. In fact, it has nothing to do with the Problem. And what is the Problem?? There is NOT ENOUGH rooms for all the students who want a room! How do you solve a Demand-Supply problem? Simply increase supply or/and reduce demand! Of course, one doesn't build new halls overnight. And raising price of rooms to decrease demand is inhumane. So actually the best solution is the "3 person per room scheme"! I don't know why the student body protest so vehemently against it. I am also surprised that SAO gave the scheme up so easily. (Authority usually never listens to mass.) Actually what the scheme needs is just a little modification to make ...

Just a little observation before I start: Why these days most of my fellow blogger friends stop blogging anymore? Is it because that I stopped blogging? Hahaha! Anw I think I wrote before that I can't blog on my laptop cos for some reason my Window Vista don't allow me to login to msn space. If I want to blog, I can only blog from my workplace. But of course, it is not right to blog during work, and so I didn't blog. With everything accounted for, let me start blogging proper: (Don't ask me why am I blogging now. If I have a choice, I won't be. In fact, I won't even be at my workplace.) So, what the hell have I been doing these days? Ever since my colleague went back to Singapore a month ago, I have been left on my own in a foreign country half a world away from home. But on the up side, my company had left me a car and an apartment with 2 bedrooms. (One of the bedrooms has became my wardrobe.) And so, with the car, I had been travelling around the city, and ...
