It’s a lazy Monday morning,

and while everyone else is headed west into Pulau NTU for their maiden paper for the semester, I’m roosted at Northpoint’s starbucks for a cuppa and the attempt to cram some econs into my head.

As well as researching and facebooking and livejournalling and fantasizing about my grad trip next year.

(I really should get back to my books. Sigh.)

I’ve been pretty obsessed with Koi Cafe bubble tea recently, ever since Kenneth bought one from the amk outlet after I had lunch with him. This cafe, apparently imported from Taiwan in its entirety, actually shakes their bubble tea, a la what we used to see at pasar malams and expensive bubble tea joints about half a decade ago. The quality of the tea, of course, is way much better than their local (cheapo) counterparts. That’s why you always see a queue, despite prices being at least a buck more than what you’d get at places like sweettalk and the rest.

I had. umm. two in three days. I think that’s a tad nearing to gluttony. And by the looks of it, i’m gonna have another one tonight.

Recently I’ve been goign on a biscuit binge of sorts, especially savoury biscuits. After hesitating for a very long time, I actually bought the 235g, $2.80 bag of breadcrisp from Ikea. And of course, since it’s Swedish, I can’t remember its name.

I actually finished two-thirds of the bag within two days, and so yesterday I headed to Ikea Tampines, enroute to tuition, to grab another. They had a sampling table of sorts, where they were selling their sesame crackers and cold shrimps, and samples being samples, they were brilliant. Better still, they were on offer. So I grabbed a pack of the sesame crackers (which I later found out to expire in a month’s time).

Later on in the evening, I went to play mahjong with my usual gang, and I ripped that pack open to have it with my Koi bubble tea. And by the end of the game, I have finished a good half a pack, with absolutely no space for dinner.

This is bad. Either I’m showing signs of stress, or I’m simply indulging too much in food nowadays. Hmm.

Ethics:

The Golden Mean – Aristotle

Moral virtue is the mean between two extremes. In any situation, take the empirical middle ground between the two extreme possible courses of action, usually of excess and deficiency.

Categorical Imperative – Immanuel Kant

One should act on the maxim that you will to become universal law. Unconditional duty-based rule, no exceptions, no buts.

Utilitarianism Theory – Mills

Having the majority benefit from the most good is imperative; the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Who cares if one or two people gets killed along the way, so long as most people benefits.

Veil of Ignorance – Rawls

Every man is equal, no social distinctions made, i.e. no case-to-case basis. A method of deciding morality, in which one does not know his or her role within society if societal roles have been completely remodeled and redistributed.

The first and only time

i ever passed ippt after i orded. LOL.

When i heard that song

on the radio, I knew you would write about it, sooner or later. Not in a negative way, but somehow it sort of resonates with recent turn of events, and perhaps will lead to a sort of reflection.

Days have passed, and things have simmered. In retrospect, issues become clearer, although details may have become fuzzier. It was just pure stupidity on my part methinks.

Yes, no more self-blaming, no more negativity. I know, and i’m saying that matter-of-factly.

You have a good rest, and I’ll see you soon. I love you. =)

My dear,

How are you today? Hope you had a pretty fulfilling day and it went smooth without hiccups too. This week should be a better week than last week’s, considering the mad rush of deadlines and other stuffs last week. =) Oh ya, you didn’t rest well yesterday, so please try to get some quality rest today.

Speaking of which, it is quite amazing how awake I still am even though I slept barely an hour last night. I was thinking about you all the time, and your face just kept popping up in my mind from time to time during the rehearsal.

My presentation went okay today, even though I didn’t get a chance to rehearse. Was pretty lucky that half the class was more interested in bidding for modules for the next semester rather than listening to our presentation. Hehs.

Alright, I’m gonna try to get a bit of rest before working on IO and studying for Jap. More like just study jap and hopefully something goes in.

Love ya. =)
