Some say that experiencing implosion is worse than experiencing explosion. I dunno, cos I have not tried it yet. (Duh!)
Implosion is when everything just gets suck into something infintely small. Explosion is the opposite. Just think implosion as a black hole and explosion as the Big Bang.
Nvm, enough of crappy ranting. Just read the news. Glazer took over Man Utd. Enuff said. Mourn the loss of debt-free days.
Mourinho pwnzed Fergie on Tue. On Wed, Mr Eng said that we are The Special Ones, the Chelsea Manager. Of course, who else is so famous except Mourinho? To add another fact, Mourinho is worth more than Fergie now. Think abt tt.
Enuff for now. Really tired today. Wanna sleep early.

Some people argue that mind and body are separate. Soul and brain cells do not mix. Your consciousness is not part of your bodily function, etc. But upon deep reflection, I think tt sometimes u hav to admit that your mind acts, works, protects itself like your body.
For the benefit of those who dun take bio, if we were to keep stimulating our nerve cells for a long time, our brain will act as though no signals are being generated. It's called "tolerance" or what I prefer to call immunity.
I believe that if we were to be exposed to disappointing and sad stuff for a long time, we will just get sorta "immuned" to it. You will not care anymore. Isn't this how our body works? You conclude yourself.
Today, PL just came to class. Jie Liang with his usual higher-volumed voice, announced her arrival. Then, she came into class, demanded to know who was the one who announced her arrival and then left in a huff saying that if nobody owns up she will not let us take our bio paper. Of course, Jie Liang does not take bio and hence he is not in class. That kind of incident would have generated enough shock in me such that I will be affected by it for the test. However, that were the pre-PL days.
Onto something else. The govt keeps on saying that Singapore is an economy that is mostly tertiary (ie provide service). However, a bus ride in the industrial area today changed my view totally. Really, if Singapore was to switch away from manufacturing, our economy will die. As in really SPLAT! DIE! Maybe the environment I am exposed to gives me the mindset that Singaporeans are all equipped to go tertiary, but a simple bus ride is able to change that.
LJN mentioned something abt Social Entrepreneurship. It will be good if S'pore has more social entrepreneurs. The sight of foreign workers just sitting down by the roadside eating their lunch is quite difficult to accept as a fellow human. Also, I see some foreign workers sleeping at the void deck of my block in the afternoons. Some people will just chase them away saying that they threaten their security. However, wouldn't it be good if someone just gave them suitable cheap lodging and a stable job? They came here to look for opportunities to be out of the cycle of poverty.
Now I have another choice for my career.
Maybe Care and Concern are the only things that our mind cannot grow "immuned" to.
