I have made several observations as of late which have been rather enlightening, but which may seem a tad ad hoc and uninformed to the analyst or logician.

“I need some excitement in my life” is synonymous with “I need a life”, only that the former implies that “I once had an exciting life”, which doesn’t fucking matter, since in the temporal dimension that matters (i.e. the present) I don’t have a life.

Jiejie and I are continually talking at cross-purposes and it gets extremely frustrating at times.

Through the interaction between myself and jia, as well as jie, I have realized the wisdom of the frostean proverb “the problem with being punctual is that there is no one there to notice it”. Its one of those things that is a mere banality, until it hits you right like a slap in the face. It hurts.

Friends in the past have always complained that I use overly bombastic language and excessive technicalities when it comes to debating a given topic. I have made a genuine effort to move away from that. The result is that latecomers in my life always think there is a loophole in my argument just because I don’t pack it airtight-vacuum-sealed, whereas the earlier individuals still reckon my flaw is there. So which is which? Arguments without an arbitrator are always useless, but people around me seem to have more propensity to argue as of late. I miss a reasoned, properly structured, rationale argument, with both sides having the ability to admit when one is mistaken. I talk as if im missing heaven.

And some resolutions:

Once I stop work on the 16th, I will take a two-week hiatus from smoking just to prove to myself that I can.

I shall start on Damodoran on Valuation in the hope of gaining some rudimentary financial knowledge and hope to finish it before interviews for internships start.

I will visit Joyce and Hongy soon.
