And i have changed my blogskin. Not that I want to(I probably would keep it forever), but the hosting for my previous background kind of expired so after browsing through a couple of skins I settled on this. (:
anyway, nothing has been able to motivate me since school started. Really, it's not as though any of the modules I'm taking this sem suck or what, but I just find it a chooorrreeee to go school. And even when I'm in a lecture my mind is anywhere but the subject itself. -__- It's such a stark difference in my attitudes between this sem and the previous! Oddly, this year I find myself looking forward to CNY than anything else. Ha ha. Hopefully after the festives I can wake up and get down to business.
So, this weekend was spent between sleeping and snoozing away. I think it's true when they say the more you sleep the more tired you get. Cuz up till now(after clocking in more than 12h of sleep daily) I still think I haven't got enough. Someone shout: PIGzZzz! LOL.
On a side note, I think it's useless to get mad at something unless you're expecting a change. Yes, I do get pissed easily at small things but I'm not like, constantly mad. I guess the difference is when you're mad, it's something deeper and theres a certain notion of hatred in it? Whatever, you can disagree with me but you know it's different. I rarely get mad at anything nowadays, partly because of reason no.1(see: 2 posts ago) and partly because of PH1101E. Ha ha. Philosophy that is. Before you get angry, just consider this, what good does it serve for you to get mad? Does it make you gain something? Or gives you a sense of achievement? Does it actually resolve the issue/situation? If the answer to these questions are NO, then, maybe its time to question oneself, what.is.the.point.
From a certain philosophy paper(probably plato/socrates dialogue I cant remember) I read, it started with something like:
why get involved in an argument? Whether you win or you lose the argument, you still lose.
It then continued with paragraphs and paragraphs of elaborations which I can't remember and thus will not bore you with.
The general idea is that even if you do win the argument with substantial evidence, i.e. you have proven the opposition wrong, you still lose - because what good does it do to prove someone wrong and you right? The loser may not be truly convinced and you have made the loser feel bad or inferior about himself. Or even worse, he may nurse a grudge towards you and thus engage in further arguments and then the cycle continues. After such considerations, do you still truly feel that you have won?
Ha ha. thats why most of the time I would rather stop abruptly in the midst of an argument because I know at the end of the day, nobody wins. Anyway, I'm merely using this to back up my reasoning on the 'getting mad' part and just something to share with you folks.
Off to dinner now, tata!
