How schizophrenic your world is
Well, you know what? I'm so tired of you people keeping on universally consenting on the benefits of emotions, or, even if you don't, that no matter what benefits emotions have they do certainly, absolutely, unquestioningly, undeniably and constantly must have benefits. That the world becomes richer with emotions. That you'll solve world hunger, cancer and poverty with emotions. WOW, look here emotions here, it can turn idiots like everyone into smartasses!And even when scientists prove you wrong like here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/primitivestreaks.shtml.
You'll go, oh no, love is different. It's something special. It is what the world is powered on. Oh look, if you take love away life becomes meaningless. Love is the magic in the world, everything becomes so fantastic with love. And Yu Fang's ever crazy love for the country because "I was raised here so I would stick by it even if a nuclear bomb was headed right at it and I was given the transportation to escape."
And then you feel sorry for any guy who doesn't possess emotions. Why? Oh, because that's what distinguish us from animals. Because literature so deeply require emotions to enjoy. Because I had never try to live my life emotionless because everyone around me says that I need emotions, so I have a permanent hatred for anything emotionless, and I must win it over to my side. Because no great authors dared to write a book without emotions, or that I am so clever that I could not find a single such book. Because someone said that music must have emotions, and I believe whatever else the stupid pro-emotion society tells me because I listen to all their songs until I got brainwashed.
Well, have you ever seriously considered that this kind of mentality is unfit to live in a constantly changing technological world? Have you considered that Darwin, Einstein and Turing could have gotten the right picture of the world but not you?
Are you schizophrenic?
(Oh, by the way, loneliness is an emotion, but not irritance or disinterest)

Whatever, i'm tired of keeping quiet for once.
Jan Lin, i've known you for almost six years already.
This situation; i've already seen before in secondary school. I know i was not from yous class, but i'm sure you remember rvcc.
The thing is, you constantly seek to antagonise people, whether it be by petty insults, trivial arguments or controversial content.
I'm not sure whether its due to your condition, but i'm not inclined to find out. It is not my obligation, as much as you think it is.
It may be a form of attention seeking, and while it may be quite effective in the short term (as is obvious here), you'll alienate everyone around you. Very quickly.
People in rvcc didn't mean to hate you. People in 6s don't either. If you'll find some better way to seek attention, (maybe by being a better FRIEND, and not "cutting ties" when i'm too busy to answer a few of your calls), this wouldn't be happening again and again.
Don't you get tired of all this? Don't you get tired of being alone? Don't you get tired of having me as one of your few friends for what, four years now?
You know what? I don't think its all due to yous condition. You use it as a front to hide behind all the time because you want to think that if you didn't have this syndrome, you will be a perfect human being, and the whole world is at fault for not letting you be "perfect".
You blame ethics for preventing science from progressing fast enough to prevent this or cure you. You blame religion for its incompatibility with science. You blame your family for not knowing about this until now. You blame peers or people seeking equality for trying to integrate you instead of "curing" you.
You blame the whole damn world, except yourself and turn to science as your hope of finding a solution, and to darwinism as consolation that it is not your fault.
I'll continue listing, but i'll spare you the rest.
Guess what? It is mostly your fault for lacking effort on your part, and you are and will not be perfect either as others have clearly pointed out.
You have problems that don't just result from your condition. I don't think that all sufferers naturally think that they are completely superior in every way to their peers, that is, if you even consider us as peers.
Look, we're fine with a person having flaws, because really, who doesn't?
Just accept that you are not the most intelligent, not the most knowledgable, not the most "correct".
Seeing you arguing with our classmates, it makes me very sad.
Because i've already seen it happen once.
And we both know the results.
You know what? I'm getting sick of this. I'm in tekong way past lights out and i have pt at 530 later, and i have to type this crap on the phone. Really, just stop.
I've had enough. Just... Whatever. Do whatever you want. Screw this, i'm going to bed.
Sorry class i dragged the blog into this shit.

The greatest mistake committed by all eco-idiots
"We talked about how easy it was to make the mistake of anthropomorphising animals, and projecting our own feelings and perceptions on to them, where they were inappropriate and didn't fit. We simply had no idea what it was like being an extremely large lizard, and neither for that matter did the lizard, because it was not self-conscious about being an extremely large lizard, it just got on with the business of being one. To react with revulsion to its behaviour was to make the mistake of applying criteria that are only appropriate to the business of being human." - Quote by Douglas Adams (Last Chance to See)And perhaps another:
"We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it." - Douglas Adams (Speech at The University of California)

Prom Night!
Yay, finally back home from City Hall!(Sidetrack: The whole taxi at taxi stands idea is stupid at night... All taxis refused to stop for me until I got to a taxi stand, which was like so far away even though they said it will be within 500m. And the streets were EMPTY, with about TWENTY or so EMPTY taxis zooming past every minute.)
Okay, so there, I've uploaded the pictures and videos. Head on down to http://www.08s06s.ath.cx/
(If you find any picture unglam or something and wish to have them taken off, please don't hesitate to SMS or MSN me and I'll have your wishes fulfilled. I may be at Tekong, but I've INTERNET!)

Party At Dings' Place!
Oh yeah, efficient right? I came home, plugged in my cam, uploaded the good photos and all the videos and voila, instant gratification! (okay, exaggerated)Just log in to http://www.08s06s.ath.cx to see them!
Thanks to the Dings again for the hospitality!
Now, TV and sleep before I get any crankier...
(Oh yeah, sorry for the lack of processing and bad quality, the camera I used performs badly at dark/room-light scenes)
(And also, turns out the camera's LCD was too washed out [I just remembered it was a repair defect when the LCD was replaced], so the photos turned out okay in the end even though it looked bad on the camera's LCD.)

THRILLER
Rachel will love this:Friday, October 10, 2008
Thank You...
I believe that the simplest is the best since no amount of words can ever express one's feelings.Thank you all for being such a wonderful class,
for taking me in, and letting me feel like part of a wonderful family.
Thank you all for being so supportive,
for lending me a ear, and the concern and help when I needed it.
Thank you all for being funky,
for the pranks, and the fun and laughter we had together.
...and most important of all...
Thank you my friends,
for college life would not be the same without you.

Thank You For Being A Friend
by Andrew Gold
Thank you for being a friend
Travelled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need any time of the day or night
I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
And when we die
And float away
Into the night
The milky way
You'll hear me call
As we ascend
I'll say your name
Then once again
Thank you for being a friend
