I actually had another good business idea. How bout I write a book on my encounter with my tuition kids? Like "kids say the darnest things, live action"
"Are you Singaporean Chinese?"
"Yes, I am Chinese... but wait, isn't my race Christianity?"
I SURRENDER MYSELF TO THE LORD! His influence is far too deep for me to intervene.

Chang's classes are...微妙。
Sometimes, like Stabee says, there's no 重点. you are just being led around in circles.
Sometimes, however, I think she is wise.
On Defensive Pessimism,
"My PhD student's study on marriage. She asked her participants,'do relationships change?' The participants say,'People change and hence relationships will change. That is a pessimistic view."
"Change in any interpersonal relationship may deteriorate the relationship. Like milk, if u leave it out too long, it will turn bad. Therefore do we give up a relationship, not even starting it? Or not even getting married?"
"Because it is the nature of any romantic rxnship to deteriorate if u just leave it alone so I will, and hopefully my partner as well, will maintain it. You will have to manage it with ur partner. And this is, defensive pessimism."
Why didn't I take this module last year?

Last week in tutorial, there's a new guy in school. (yes, all your 眉毛s shd go ^^ and so did mine, ever so subtly) not until on the topic of 'what's a good life?' did he have to add 'some of my friends mentioned that they want to serve God.'
(now you may relax your eyes)
Saying that could have a positive or negative connotation but he sounded quite sincere (and so your eyebrows may really rest now. Let your eyelids droop) as much as I have to say it is a very noble thing to do, to want to serve someone else. As the family of the 'server', I cannot agree with it. He doesn't get paid, he seldom gets recognition. People have told me 'your dad is a really great man.' yes, I know. And I don't need someone else to tell me for me to realize that. But all because he is a great man, I don't like it when people backstabs him. I don't fancy accusations and ill treatments equivalent of child's play. The thing I hate the most is him not getting enough sleep and rest. Why, you tell me? And there's nothing I can do.
I just cannot agree with certain things.

To the incumbents of my kitchen and toilet, please do not show yourselves in my presence as I fear you greatly. I would appreciate if you would keep your hideous tones and looks to the depths of the darkness. This is a peace treaty because I know I can't get rid of you.

I can't remember who told me this theory but it is interesting.
on reincarnation - how it is flawed
"if men reincarnate, then where does the extra population come from?"
to that, I agreed on the spot. But thinking about it, there is always the animal becoming human and human becoming animal part. Thus to prove this point, we have to account for every possible living thing on Earth. and I don't know if ancient Chinese studied amoeba. that translates to almost impossible (because we should never say IMPOSSIBLE. like I was telling Giu, be careful of the things you say. your words always come biting back at you.)
