what are you?

There are 3 kinds of people in this world: conservatives, liberals and radicals.

Which are you?

Conservatives are people who don't see a need to change the current way that the world is working. They like it the way it is. If anything, conservatives will fight for the status quo to remain the same.

Liberals are people who believe that the current state of the world is unfair. A small group of people are making too many of the important decisions and not enough people are benefiting from these decisions. Liberals will fight for the equality of people, all people.

Radicals too believe that the current state of the world is unfair. However, unlike liberals they don't think that an equal plateau can ever be reached. Instead, they believe that the current people in power had their day in the sun and it's time for the oppressed to rule. Radicals lobby for the other extreme view.

Is any one camp better than any other camp? Obviously there isn't a good enough answer.

Unless you have no opinions (AT ALL), you will have to be in one camp.

So which are you?

are you aware?

If you are not aware of the Aware saga, you must be living in a hole.

While it doesn't concern me in an overt way, I am itching to say something.

Aware is a feminist group. It's a women's self help group. Since when did being a feminist entail being anti-homosexual? Is there a connection? Does being homosexual make one less female?

Seems like an over involvement of a personal agenda.

back dates...

well, since i was 'busy' doing so many things the last 2 weeks of school here are some stuff that happened.

First of all, all things green tea. If you like green tea, there this green tea concept cafe at the basement of City Hall. This is green tea custard. It's not bad. I think everything else taste too weird. Haha. Not a fan of green tea. Not in the form of milk teas and cakes.



Okie, the next picture is from the bus stop at my place. I give the couple 101% for effort. Imagine everything is handwritten.

owned...

I think I finally understood what Tali*b meant when he said that year 4s don't always make the best students.

The results for DS came back. (amazed at speed of marking) In the words of Le*onard, we totally got owned by the year 3s and 2s. And that's probably the understatement of the semester.

woot!

So today marks the last day of University. Today's last test and last paper means only 2 exams are left between post-grad and I. I need to find some stuff to do.

bad habits...

Because I've been using concession for as long as I can remember, I have this bad habit of not tapping my ez-link card when I alight. Whenever I don't have concession, I take extra care to make sure that I remember to tap when I alight. Obviously, it's not enough.

So today, a 91 cent bus ride ended up being $1.65. When you don't tap, you pay the maximum amount. Haha. So today, I found out that concession actually went down by $2. It's now $50 per month. SO I guess, even after paying the extra 74cents, it still means concession is cheaper. Haha.

I also found out that my stop is actually the first stop of the next stage of the bus service. So next time I don't have concession, I'm might be alighting one bus stop earlier, costing $0.69. One more stop will cost me $0.91. Heng, I have concession.

lessons in life...

We discovered something bad recently. It involved Boys. So when that happens, it's always hard to handle. That's the main reason it's bad. You never know if what you did was the right thing. Whether they will have an adverse reaction and start hating the world.

Well, I never believe that when bad things happen only bad things are obtained. There will always be one good thing that can be taken from every bad thing that happens. And that is the most important thing, the lesson.

If you can find a lesson, which is the easy part, and learn from it, this is harder, you would have benefited from the bad event. I always remember a quote that I've heard:

The fool does not learn form his mistakes.
The smart man learns form his own mistake.
The wisest learn form the mistakes of others.

So, I guess that you can learn from you own mistakes, at least you're on the right track. Don't waste your learning opportunities.
