OLD~!

I can fully feel the effect of turning old today.

I woke up at around 8 plus yesterday morning to complete some work. Lessons started at 12 and ended at 7pm. To top it off, went for a kbox session with my secondary school friends from 11pm to 4am. It has been a very long time since our gathering involve something other than food. I finally reached home and slept near 5am. I felt amazed as i did not really feel very sleepy at 5am.

But, the result of my crazy day almost killed me today. I am feeling so sleepy and restless throughout the whole day. I practically sleep my day away, and i am still feeling sleepy now.

Signs of me turning old......

Super belated bday present

Come to think of it, i think i did not get myself a present.

Anyway, i was walking past the Adidas shop when this Liverpool shirt caught my eye. Furthermore, there was a promotion where a spending of $120 would get me a Liverpool scarf. The shirt already cost half of that amount. All those factors were probably the reason why i got the sudden urge to spend. My victory...



Maybe it was also because i got the feeling i have not buy anything for quite a long time. All the numerous times where i needed to control my urge to shop when i saw something that caught my eye... hahaha.. i somehow got the guilty feeling now.. argh! the evil of shopping...

I am just going to convince myself, it is a present for myself. Hopefully, this will reduce my guilt whenever i think about it.

Religion VS Science

(I have nothing against religion. Please forgive me if you find my views offending.)


Italian group claims to debunk Shroud of Turin

I have just read the above article which appeared on yahoo news. Scientist has managed to reproduce the Shroud of Turin(revered as the cloth that covered Jesus in the tomb). Apparently the italian group is trying to make a statement that the relic was actually man made.

After i read this article, a question came into my mind. What happens if there is strong evidence that the religious materials are fakes? Can you imagine the chaos if it is proven that the Buddhas, Christ, and all the gods and heaven stuff are all proven to be imaginary?

Before all the religious people out there start to flame me intensively, I am not dismissing your religion in any way. I do respect each religion, but I urge all of you to step back and think about this in a neutral stand. Start from ground 0 and think about this.

Personally, I believe people would probably break down and feel lost. To put it in a lighter way, imagine that the beliefs that determine who you are, how you live are suddenly taken away. This is especially problematic for people of older age. It will be hard to accept the beliefs you have been holding on to, is proven to be wrong.

I know my question is hypothetical. However, I also believe that even with strong evidence, the religions will still exist. As mentioned in the article:

Garlaschelli told Repubblica he didn't think his research would convince those who have faith in the shroud's authenticity.

"They won't give up," he said. "Those who believe in it will continue to believe."

Once again, to all religious people who happen to stumble upon this post, i apologize if i offend you in any way.

Mid Autumn Festival

After so many years, i still cannot understand how Mid-Autumn Festival justify the littering of public areas with used sparklers and the amount of vandalism caused by the candle waxes.

Anyway next week is e-learning week, and this is what my lecturer said: "For e-learning week, study chapter 7 on your own. You may want to refer to the textbook so that it is easier to understand."

A question came into my mind. What is the point of having lecture in the first place, if we can understand the materials just by studying the notes and reading the textbook.

In fact, most of my lecturers are not really well-prepared for this e-learning week. Most of them just upload the notes and that is it. I cant help but think that the school is carrying out this trial too soon, without giving adequate time for the prof to prepare. Either that, or the prof cant be bothered. Perfect example of good cause, bad execution, bad results.

Singtel wins EPL rights

Nightmare come true..

After winning the Champ League rights, tearing us apart.. now they win over the EPL rights too.

Everything will be fine if it is just a switch of channel but hell no! it is abt a change in setup box and everything. Given that it is only for 3 years, what is next? Are we going to see singtel having the rights for following 3 years, lose out to starhub for 3 years? So we have to keep rotating between them??

This is crazy! No consumer welfare!! Thinking should i make e switch....
