long marathon day tomorrow =D
well... gotta get good sleep tonight. prolly won't get a proper rest till friday night. woooo wonder what it'll be like playing bridge on almost no sleep at all heheh.
got a couple more stuff, especially philosophical stuff... was wondering whether i should combine it with tomorrow but i guess i'll just post it today.
was watching this video in Jap Club. i must say... i seriously want to know how those people read traditional chinese characters so well... i can read them, most certainly, but it takes me like... about 3 times the time. so something i could read in a glance would probably take me ike 2 seconds. and when subtitles flash across the screen, it usually doesn't stay that long, so i miss out on a lot of stuff. well at least i fared better than benny which didn't understand any part of the plot at all. heh. best question today "are you chinese benny?" heh.
oh yeah there was this cool speech in the movie. we were wondering why none of the university people ever used it in their promotional speeches. i mean seriously. ok it went something like this:
*crowded, noisy hall*
principal tries to get attention but fails absymally, so main character stands up and approaches the podium
"silly, useless fools"
*hall quiets down instantly*
"only fit to be cheated, only fit to be at the bottom of the social ladder"
*most people start shouting, casting angry looks or throwing stuff*
...
okok this is gonna be very long. you have to watch the video to understand it, really >_> err anyway the gist of it was that the philosophy of how the society works is this: the smart people, those with authority, set down rules. these rules, obviously, are beneficial to them and no one else. they twist the rules to suit their needs. so the "non-smart" people are only fit to be controlled by these rules, indirectly being controlled by these "rule-setters". i was like "woooah... that is some great philosophy of life O.o" and he rounded up his speech by saying that you can change the social hierarchy by entering university (he was speaking to one of those ghetto schools) take over the position of rule setting, get out of being the dregs of society, stop being used and manipulated by others. whoa... come on, if someone could come up with a speech like that i'll be sure to sign up for that university. unfortunately noone did, though >_> sian...
oh and something funny: someone posted in a forum asking "what is big-hearted and forgiving?" the best reply i read so far (some 83 posts so far only) was "it's when you come home in the evening, find your spouse making love to someone else, take off your hat, say 'sorry for disturbing, please continue' and quietly close the door" hmmmm ooook. someone here is VERY forgiving eh?
