WHEE~~~~ birthday!!!!!!!
OMG! im 15! thats like so old and agedddd la!
ok...first things first: IMPT update: i will be constantly tagging my posts so as to make life easier for myself and you...if you want to find a post of a certain category, its all listed down there!
ok
thank God for 15 awesome years of my life, for putting me where am i now, for putting me in this awesome CCA which i have make So many friends in, thanks for making my life better. Thanks for everything!
Today went quite normal…cleared RC room in the afternoon…felt quite accomplished…
Then bought drinks using money from *censored* …yah…
Lets see…oh yah
Today philo liao…um…discussed abt Confucius’s so-called Superior Man…how’s he should be and all that
Not sure if the list they gave was accurate…but living according to that list is impossible man…
It gives description of someone who is both mature and pure…I guess when someone reached an uber-high stage of maturity, he will discover that it is pureness… kinda like babies…
Those qualities are pure and untainted virtues…”we are born with them, but we need to find them within us” this shows that we are born good, but the big bad world has polluted us … it is human nature to do good…but the worldly desires and others actions taught us how to deceive, lie, cheat and use all kinds of lowly measures to bring us what our greed demands…is all these cause d by our in-built desires, or are we influenced by the others around us?
Ok…lets say that I put on a façade of smiles, but deep inside, I am hurt and feeling cold…would anyone notice my fake smile, would anyone care? Why would people do such things, why are we so insensitive? Words are powerfully weapons against hearts and souls. The damage they cause, the wounds they inflict, may never heal…
Hmmm….a bit the poetic…
PJ going liao…sigh…she has impacted me a lot man…guess you have to let go…
Lastly,
THANKS FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES EVERYONE! THEY TOTALLY MADE MY DAY!Labels: contemplations, my life, personal problems

HI all
sorry........forgot to post....
anyway. today i went out to sorta "celebrate" my birthday since that i wont be home on wed.
went to buy new phone, but must wait until contract finishes on 5th Oct... 2 more weeks! XD I want new phone!!!
then went to eat dinner, but cake..ya...food quite nice la, quite full.
so anyway philo talk about Confucius... cant believe a non-Chinese teaching chinese philosophy... i believe the essence of Confucianism is in the Diction of the words...
hoho...must keep my mind open....
so...first lesson talked about the um..."correct" way of doing things...utilitarian, the truth...and all that....
me personally thinks that there is no hard and fast rule to determine whether one's action is right or wrong...we cant judge them, as diff things matters differently to each and everyone of us...
but there are "general" things that are universally agreed though....
religions do tend to provided people with a set if rules to follow though... does this shows that people needs confirmation on what they do?
maybe... i dont get it why some people are so against certain religions...doesnt all religion tends to teach people to do good? if it doesnt, then its called a cult, not religion....
like once i have read a argument...it states, even if God is not real, you will lead a nice life, being kind and contributing to the world"
wargh..... need organize my thoughts
forget it...go sleep liao...tmr still have first aiders on wheels...gonna cycle for 5 hrs...Labels: contemplations, my life

haha, i remember wrong, no philo today.....
its tmr
anyway
i got caught bu tutor msning again:( this time name kena taken down :(
aiya
smoke through with excuse la...DMP got what to mug...
anyway...debates today was not bad..ate dinner during debrief...haha
does one's identity comes nature or nuture?
so if a chinese/indian/african lived in USA since young, does it make him a American?or is he stil who he was?
thats the problem i thought of during debates
so.....extension of it to my life
if theres a chinese that lived in the western styleof education, taught western values, speak english, used fork and knifes, IS HE STILL A CHINESE?
can we fault his lack of grasp in chinese for that????
i shall think about it...Labels: contemplations, my life

dmp started...fun!
but EOys also coming soon... bleh....
need file+revise all my stuff...argh
looking forward to tomorrow...can go for philo dmp! cool!
shall post tmr about philo!
okok
anyway, does experience matter?
in short term, it does, but in long- term, things change, ppl change, nothing is the same! so does what we experience 10 years ago still count?
so what seperates long term from short term? when does oour experiences become obsolete? theres no hard and fast rule, so how can we tell if some old man advices you something, how do you know if it still works?
interesting......experince hummmm

haiz
today i shall talk about generation gap
wow...am i rebelling now? :0
anyway
the ideals and actions of parents and children is incommensurable
whatever the child is going through, the parent do not know about and do not understand.
how many of us shares our problems with parents? very very little.
why? we think that they dont understand us.
they do not know whats happening in school, what do we value most.... etc etc
although they can, but most of us choose not to...
anyway...some parents say that they are children once. true, but their times is different from ours. can i say that "i have been to africa 30 years ago, therefore, i know what is it like to be in africa now" things change... very drastically too
ok
what i am saying here is that they dont understand.. but they still might be right...after all, they are more experienced in life. however, we will only know whos correct, when we are old and have gone past both the child and parent phrase.Labels: contemplations
