The start of something new... and the death of me
added a few stuff overdue on my blog. namely, backlink and comments. feel free to utilize these functions. u regulars should noe how they're used =p
pictures: i don't take pictures, and if i do, i can't upload them. so don't expect any of them. i'm quite faceless online. what you see is what i describe to ya. pure text. the way mmorpg used to be (think mud and text+turn based games like utopia and archmage)
Guys. in a world championing meritocracy, it's a surprise that males still hold a major share of the power pie. n i doubt it's coz of the bout of irrationality that all members of the fairer sex are prone to once-in-a-month. sheesh.. in that statement, i could be sued for gender discrimination haha... the problem with me is, i wholly agree with females; in that, they deserve more say in this world. that they have risen to the challenges of the modern world more aptly than their testosterone driven counterparts. the problem with the world is, they see me as a guy, so i'm still collectively dissed for being a power-grabber with a groin for a brain.
two incidents i wanted to blog about last wk (that i obviously failed to). both involve guys who've drank too much. ya noe, gotten drunk. 1st, X, Y, and Z went out clubbing (X,Y,Z are males). X opened 2 bottles and said "enjoy". he drank some, but not much. Z held his liquor well. Y, on the other hand, got drunk. like.. piss dead drunk. soon, he lost control of himself; ie. he started behaving like his only head was the one down south. he started getting feely with X's female fren, and well.. became excessively clingy. shockingly, but really nice of X's fren, she didn't hit Y, nor did she push him away. she did try to get away, but was pretty nice about it. Z wanted to punch Y really bad.. but didn't due to X's intervention. they managed to pull Y away and restore Y's original gentleman dignity.. .... which Y promptly responded by puking all over the streets. *yuck* 2nd, A, D, E, and frenz went out clubbing. A's the storyteller, and that's about all i know bout A's participation in this scenario. E got awfully drunk, and as with 1st story, he got touch-feely with a girl. the difference is, the girl is the girl D likes. when persuasion failed (which wasn't much coz they're males, and pointless coz E is drunk), D punched E. scuffle ensued, and E was rewarded with a cleared head, and a trip to the hospital. D got arrested, or detained at least. last i heard, E's considering suing D. note tho, that A,D, E and gang are all frenz. sad ain't it?
i'm embarassed to call myself a guy.
26th August. morn: 6km run. Sheares Bridge run. heh. short run i know. hope i meet my personal expectations. i haven't been running as much as i like to. though my stamina and strength have improved =) IPPT should be the next in order =) afternoon: a trip to granny's place. to shower, rest, n celebrate midautuum festival. evening: can't stay long at granny's place, coz got a 21st to attend. JY's bday bash. i wonder what's the theme for it... ... *prays it's not white*
the economics analogy of the professional pool player. economics models are sometimes based on unrealistic assumptions, but that does not render the model useless in predicting reality. the analogy: to hit a pool ball, the player has to solve a series of complicated differential equations such that the target ball and cue ball moves according to plan. however, does the player actually solves these equations? no. so likewise, models predict reality like the equations predict the plan and movement of the ball. reality however, dictates otherwise, as does the player, who doesn't need to solve, but rather goes by judgement, experience, and technical expertise in execution.
do i agree with this? well, i gotta admit it's a great analogy, but it's a little hard for me to stomach. i mean, sure, the model works for this generation of economy, but what if the economy evolves? shifts? change. can the model with the unrealistic assumptions accomodate to the changes. shouldn't economics aspire to develop a more generic model? that's able to predict market movements/economic growths to as high a level of accuracy as possible? i'll have to read deeper into the theories and models of economics that people are applying today. i know some have been rather accurate. but there's always a new proposal every decade or two, and isn't that because of the evolving nature of real economics? vs classroom economics.
i think i really do prefer to be alone. sometimes =)
listened to parts of the National Day Rally Speech 2007. would love to read the transcript soon =) PM Lee isn't a fantastic speaker, but he does have a certain degree of charisma. enough to charm and lead =) the points made in the rally are good. there's a positive direction, and there's hope of solutions to the Singapore layman's troubles. though some might disagree with the changes made (i myself may disagree to afew upon further analysis), i'd like to say that the singapore govt, as always, has never disappointed in terms of efficiency.
i'm still voting for opposition tho, coz i do believe that parliament has a serious lack of an alternative voice. sure it might slow some legislation down, but i rather know that there're people fighting for what they believe in than knowing that it's all submission to an overwhelming majority of people in white. why'd ya think the French revolution started? =p ppl juz couldn't stand being talked down to by aristocrats =p
pungol21+ looks lovely tho =) and i need to read up on HDB policies and regulations.. ...
i need to do alot of things huh? well, problem is, i don't. i'm a dreamer. not a thinker, a dreamer. i'm not a doer, i'm a slacker.
Accounting exams are 2-3wks away. i'm nervous. i need more practise. dammit.
i'll stop here. and i'll end with a little thought bubble... ... "It gets lonelier at the top."
America, in her quest for global hegemony, has made the world turn their back on her. it's the balance of power. in the concentration of power in a single sovereign entity, there will ensue as a counterbalance, the consolidation of power against that entity. to read more... ...
