Compilations #3

Seriously, nothing worth reading will follow from this point.

1. Am already starting to miss Family Medicine. That's not to say that I'll be willing to do it for remedial though (Heaven forbid!), because I've got other plans. Hmm.

2. This, I need want.


When I saw it in real life, the price tag of RM400 was tempting. I mean, it's more or less priced the same as a handphone! *flails*
God Knows I can't be splurging now, of all times. There's this fear of eventually losing interest in the item after a certain time, and it'll be buried somewhere among my other things, perhaps not forgotten, but definitely collecting dust.
It's difficult when there are so many things that I want to explore, just to expand my hobbies and capabilities, but the time factor seems to be lacking...Sigh.

3. I can't believe I went ahead and defied what I used to obey-oh-so-dumbly. I guess the time to say "That's it, I'm sick of all this stupidity!" has finally arrived. Hee.
Still, I pray to God everything will go well...

4. Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, yes! I am pleased. Now all it needs is downloading...

5. Goodness gracious me, all the notifications that await me while I abstain neglect my Facebook account shows that I miss a lot. Not that I'll be upping my activity there, though...because other webpages are calling out for me.

6. It hurts when one is unable to express one's deepest desires freely.

Compilations #2

1. It's all about perspective. However, humans being humans, we're bound to have different interpretations of the same incident.
At times there is no meaning in trying to correct any misunderstanding - as long as it doesn't result in a more tangled predicament. It's a waste of time and effort.
Likewise, why bother giving meaning to something so trivial? We might have been barking up the wrong tree all along.

2. No man is an island. Or woman, for that matter.
That's why, even when we've tried our best - either in staying out of people's way or striving to be a better person than yesterday - there's no guarantee that everything will be peachy for us.
...Then it's back to the basic question - what _was_ our deepest intention in doing good in the first place?
Give a correct answer, and a greater reward awaits thee, sooner or later.

3. Case write up. Tsk tsk. I wonder when I'll actually finish it for real...

4. Doppelgängers can be terrifying. Imagine seeing someone on television who looked like someone you knew - except that the former was more of a past rendition of the latter.
For me, while it could have been a pleasant sight...it wasn't. Partly because I'd rather not be reminded of it.

Stranded

One of the five Giant I's in geriatrics - in which the decline of one element may very well be the impetus to bring the rest down along with it like a row of dominoes - is immobility.

Granted, that is when we are talking about the elderly. As for us, the younger generation, it's all about seeing the world and not remaining in one place for far too long, either for fear of boredom or of the danger of being branded as a narrow-minded simpleton. Unless you're a hermit, an antisocial, or a proud hikikomori, then whatever common law for the rest of the Homo sapien automatically does not apply.

Seneca _did_ say that "man is a social animal" - which explains why being imprisoned, or isolated from the rest of the people, is a punishment that can be unbearable. It puts a strain on one of our basic tendencies; to interact, to move around freely.

Keyword here is 'freely'.

I remember one saying about what constitutes the best government; It is the one that "governs the least". In other words, it should not put too many absurdly stringent rules that serve no other purpose than for them to flaunt their power and giving their subjects bad cases of migraine or hypertension. As such, it puts a limit to creativity. It creates a hostile environment, in which there only exist hatred and resentment, both of which may raise exponentially faster than you can diagnose the crux of the matter to reverse the damage.

When everyone is thrown into the chaos, even those who have done no wrong will get affected. And it's not like every single person who did wrong did so intentionally.

When common sense is considered an endangered species, too many things can go haywire with no solution in sight.

When it's all about "Me" and no "You", there is no place for "Us" anywhere in the equation.

When morality is extinct, humanity disappears with it.

P/s: ...No, I'm not talking about the government of the country. Rather, it's a bit closer to us students. Go figure. Sigh.
