It has been 1 week of hols and no one is blogging still.... shall try to liven this place up with my insignificant efforts. Anyway, my main purpose of blogging today is to wish ppl luck.

First, to Wenxian and Shireen, gd luck for CTs! Happy mugging!(sadistically)
Next is to Vanessa who is 99% sure of leaving us. May you have luck in whatever you do in HC and remember to remember us! This 3 months may seem like 1 min when u try to think about it, but the 1 min of remembering is worth the 3 months of time.

Everybody's changing:) or Everybody's changing:(

A recent msn nick of Shireen-"Everybody's changing" has set me thinking quite a bit. It could be the very reason why everyone is shunning this blog and account for the poor turn-out at k'cove every morning. However, as quoted from somewhere, humans have degenerate to the extent of using smileys to denote the intent of the sentence. As shown above, the smiley has a pivotal effect on the meaning of the sentence. The one with :) shows acceptance and perhaps a liking to the change in ppl around him/her, whereas the one with :( shows denial and perhaps a feeling of being left behind in the fast-changing environment. Before we try to arrive prematurely at any conclusion, we need to understand that change itself is relative. If one person undergo a change while the ppl around him remains constant, he would (in relative to him) feel that everyone else has changed when the fact is that he was the only one that has changed. To further complicate matters, let consider cases where two ppl changes. For does the change in say person A amplifies when he meets person B who has changed as well or do the changes cancel themselves out? So, as we can see, we cannot avoid change, change would be a constant in our lives. Whether we like it or not, we will change and ppl around us will change, thus the statement "Everybody's changing" would almost stand as a law of nature. So, for me, though there would be this nagging reluctance and inertia when change takes place, I would still denote the statement with a :). Call me a hopeless idealist if u wan, for that's the way I am becoz i see no point in try to deny or avoid when whatever u do would not change the ppl around u back to some time before. This is perhaps the only case when denial is more painful than acceptance. So, in all its undoing, Zevfeior can still claim to be the only OG to have a air-con k'cove:)..See u ppl around in O2, perhaps then we can make more ppl choose the :) rather than the :(

Cheers!
