I am back after a long hiatus. Its wierd how sometimes I think of something to blog abt, and when I'm at the create post page, I can't squeeze a single word out.
Oh wells. my life is reverting back to peacefulness. No outings everyday, no phonecalls in and out by horrible brainless guys and no stalkers. I have come full circle, I must say. Its good to be a recluse I realised. Less friends, less trouble which also means less fun.
I have approximately one more month of 'free-dom' before work starts piling its load on me. Better remind myself everyday to cherish the time and not waste it all away.

I swear the computer in SAA is loony. I don't know how the hell I could have passed the bloody thing. The first few questions were questions I've never seen in my life. the subsequent questions weren't any better either.Those when you cannot ascertain that you've gotten the answers correct.
conclusion: computer is loony.

I have an extremely bad case of 'day-dreaming' while studying. I always like to think that the brain is a very powerful tool. But I would also like to add that it may also be dangerous. The brain follows no orders. It wanders wherever it wants to, even when you tell it to stop. It may listen to your commands sometimes, but only for a fraction of a milli-second. That makes the brains dangerous.
While studying, 'the brain' went into zoning out mode. Guess where it landed? It stayed for a long while at the 'yuanyuan' memory. Then it moved on to Johanan. Then to the comparison of both of them, and then it led to this post. Which is supposed to be a tribute to some very significant individuals who helped me grow up. Its quite a sudden and random idea. But seeing that the end of the year has inevitably showed its bum, I might as well take the chance to write some tributes.
Yuanyuan first. I can never stop thinking of you. You're such an asshole. But you really taught me the definition of an asshole. I learnt that you represent only the minimum requirement of assholes. because I believe that there would definitely be people who are much worse than you. I've heard many stories of even bigger assholes. Not that I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. I don't care if you change or not. I like you for who you are. asshole or not.
Johanan. Its been awhile since we talked. But he never fails to provide me with many interesting intellectual insights to the various aspects of life. What the heck. Life IS mind boggling. If not for some of the overwhelmingly happy events which happened in MY life, I would just give up on life already. Thanks to Jo, he puts my life back into perspective. I just seriously love intellectual guys. You learn so much more from them than you can ever learn during any girls' night out. I feel ashamed for saying this. But I really do like girls' night out too. But I like intellectual debates with smart guys as much. no offence.
my brains contemplated comparing them. but i'll just scratch that out totally, cuz you can't compare asshole with gentleman. cuz the asshole will lose big time.
Maurice. My musically inclined, but interestingly eccentric friend. I cnnot begin to tell you how wierd this friend is. But he's still a very good pal. Like Jo, he's intellectual too. albeit, in a different way. He shuns conventions like nobody's business. God bless him. He found a friend like me who so totally finds his insights refreshing but....wierd. He taught me many things too. Especially in terms of the classical music world. I admit I'm quite a lazy person when it comes to research.But thank goodness. He's there to spoonfeed me with little bite sized information when I need it. It has ever occured to me before that I might just be making use of him. Well, to some extent, yes. But I still like him as a friend. enough said. anymore will just come off as being defensive.
I have a couple more I would like to mention. But I shall leave it for another time cuz now's the time to HIT THE BOOKS! those mentioned above happen to be guys. sorry gals. wait for the other post!
I would like to add that, very seldom do I meet intellectual girls with the same wavelength as moi. Except for my best friend of course. don't be offended though if you happen to be a die-hard feminist. I just happen to know more guys than girls. 'you can put the blame on me'

What is the definition of family? According to dictionary.com, it is a fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children.However, I think this is a rather cold and detached definition. A family, I think not only should consist of one or both parents and their children, but these family members should also share an affinity and affliation with one another. What is a family without familiar feelings of kinship, skinship and parent-child bonding or bonding between siblings?
I feel sad for my young tutee. It is bad enough that he comes from a single-parent home, with the mother being the sole bread winner. But it is worse that he lives with two adult siblings. Each of these three children in the house including my tutee, lead seperate lives. I do understand that in this circumstance, the mother is not to be blamed. After all, she has to compromise something since she can't be both a fulltime mother to her children, or a working individual bringing home the bread and butter everyday and ensuring that her children live as comfortably as possible. Logically thinking, the resposibility then falls on the eldest child to keep the family together. Either that, or someone else in the family have to then take charge and see to the other's needs. Unfortunately, this is not the case with my tutee. He comes home to an empty house everyday. Even though his siblings may be at home, they lock themselves in their own rooms and emerge only for meals.
Well, I have something against the eldest asshole in the family, if you're wondering what this post is about. He's waiting to enlist into the army. But while they haven't called him up for service yet, he isn't working either. I feel the utmost disdain for this particular asshole. He doesn't work,he doesn't laze around the house the whole day either. He goes out quite often since I don't see him around most of the time. From what I picked up, he still gets pocket money from his bread winner mother. How the hell can someone be so insensitive and thick-skinned I don't understand. The least one could do in such a circumstance is to find some job to do and earn some extra money on one's own. It is amazing how one can totally abandon the idea of a family and go around gallavanting on the streets with the mother's hard-earned money in one's pockets. It is not my business to care. But I feel sad for my tutee that he has to live with such an asshole of a brother.
