~May Your Light Shine :D~

Life is revolving around stupid mundane things that don't half get me on my nerves because nothing new is coming up, I've got nothing big to look forward to and the weather's just driving me up the wall.

And of course when I go home hoping to have some peaceful and solitary time for myself, I have to hear my brother singing the Catdog(yes, the cartoon) theme song over and over and OVER again, it's MENTALLY TORTUROUS!!!!! I believe I've heard it about 50 times in the last 3 days already. If he sings it again I'll have the uncontrolled urge to lunge at his vocal cords and throttle him till he stops it. I don't even KNOW why a 14 year old is obsessed with some cartoon that I didn't even like as a child(I never liked Catdog).

Mugged for History the whole of yesterday(in addition to wasting approximately 2 hours mooching around staring into thin space) and I have to say, the sense of satisfaction after I've studied for History returned and I was in a really good mood unlike when I finished studying for Biology and I felt like killing everyone I saw.

[[[ HISTORY PWNS. End of discussion. ]]]

And what is WITH people saying that History needs the most memorizing? I think it needs the LEAST. They don't have stupid solid definitions and its really fair to those who aren't good at remembering information word for word(like me, I remember the concept easily but not the words) and it REALLY tests your understanding. I want to drop science and be a pure humanities student.

Speaking of which, I've been figuring out what to do with my life AGAIN. Only this time I'm trying to think of what I WANT to study in University and be in future. After watching Taboo(Thursdays, 10pm, ARTS Central), I have decided that I want to do something related to cultural anthropology. Seriously, I think they should teach that in SCHOOL. Then people will be more accepting of other cultures and personalities and interests and talents. Now, WHO SAYS TV AIN'T HELPFUL?

Oh yes, following that stupid 'The Arena' debate on whether women should go for NS. I DISAGREE TOTALLY 100% WITH ALL MY HEART. Some stupid guy said that it promotes character building and co-operation and team spirit and all that crap. And another had the nerve to ask, "What happened to girl power?"

Listen mates, in all my 10 years of education, I have never ever benefited from a single camp, team-building activity or autocratic dictorship. In fact, I think those have instead, IRONICALLY, done more harm to me than good.

What taught me the real values of trust and loyalty, teamwork and responsiblity? The media. THat's right. You can argue that they sensationalise news and pollute our minds, but they provide real insight into the society we live in. Without them, I believe all the teenagers would still be living in an illusioned world, not knowing how treacherous and scheming reality REALLY is.

And the "What happened to girl power?" thing? You guys don't really get it do you? Let me terll you THIS is how it works. The males PROVIDE the manpower for defence, the females PRODUCE the manpower for defence and also for companies and for basically every industry.

Go ahead and argue that a woman can't give birth without a guy. Do guys need to carry the foetus for 9 months? No. Do they suffer from morning sickness? No. Do they suffer from post natal blues? No. Do they have to go through the gruelling hours of labour that is really a lot more painful than how most may imagine it to be? NO.

In short, the female's suffering to bring life into this world is ALREADY a representation of girl power, we don't need to go into NS and suffer even more to prove that we're on par with you guys. WE ARE.

And I've thought of something else. You know that Confucian saying that everyone is born kind and good and it is the world that has corrupted us? That's total crap.

For a human to be influenced by the corrupted world we live in, we have to actually LIVE in a corrupted society first, agree?(You can't disagree) And what produces this corrupted society? None other than corrupted and evil people. And where did these people come from? There must have been SOMEONE to INFLUENCE them to be evil and wicked since "everyone is born kind and good".

But then let's go right ot he beginning, the first human. If that human was born kind and good(which Confucius says is so) then WHAT influenced that person, or any other following humans for that matter, to be corrupted and bring evil and wickedness into this world?

The whole thing just doesn't make sense. There has to be a source of the influence, but if you say that everyone is only corrupt because of influence, then who influenced the first person to be corrupt(and subsequently corrupt the world) since that person supposedly is born innocent?

I can't believe I started off with nothing to blog about but ended up with such a long post.
