i duno if it's called murphy's law or irony or mayb even neither, but it's so funnily weird that everytime when u wanna do sth u have no time, but when u have the time u juz dun feel like doing it.. recently have lots of thoughts to 'pen' down here, but juz dun have the time to do so..

previous post was a simple video of 方大同's song, becoz i didnt have time to say much.. but it's my current fav now, coz it's juz so full of emotions, as though he has juz been through the story the song is saying...

time to 'pen' down some of the thoughts b4 my 'senile dementia' kicks in again..

recently a friend asked me and another friend of mine this:

"will you guys get a christian girlfriend?"

firstly, we are not condemning or looking down on other religions.. his point is pretty simple.. if u eventually marry her, it isnt likely that she will give up her religion of christianity, so likely she will ask u to convert, which means church sessions and stuff like that... and because the 3 of us are pretty much free thinkers, so he asked us this qn..

my other friend pretty quickly answered no.. the one who asked the qn oso gave the same response.. but of coz my reply was the usual..

"duno, nvr think of that b4"

albeit usual, but it's really the truth..

their point is very clear-cut... if no, den u can almost certainly ruled out christian girls as prospective girlfriends, so there wont be any waste of time or efforts in woo-ing someone when there wont be any result..

unsurprisingly, these turn on de switch in my brain again..

isnt it often said that love is blind and illogical? if so, how are we able to do this kind of 'filtering' of personnel? can we have some kind of 'checklist' to even 'select' someone? will there be a case where u kinda like this girl after some times u spend around her, but u hafta hit the brakes and stop to think "hey, she's christian, i shld get rid of these feelings" ?

also, the commonly heard phrase, "love at first sight".. if u find someone which fits this phrase, den religion wont come into the picture anymore.. but den again, i believe that at first sight, mayb u think that girl is beautiful, or for case of girls, that guy is cute/handsome, that person will juz become an eye candy at the most...

love at first sight? nah, not in my school of thought..

juz these few days, a fellow temp at my workplace made me suddenly realise sth..

I'M ACTUALLY POOR!

funny that one can suddenly realise he's poor, considering that he didnt go through any dramatic events in life, eg bankruptcy.. his point is oso very simple.. (i juz dun get simple points in life)

during the years in university, assuming u have no pocket money from ur parents, u only have ur savings to rely on.. say for my case, is 3 years in uni.. say i start with $9000 in my savings.. (which i doubt i have currently) that makes $3000 per year, which makes $250 per month!!!

of coz ppl can always say "u have 3 months of hols yearly what, can go find jobs"

true, but that's not for certain.. me myself looked for a job from feb to april b4 getting one...

so that temp's thinking is that we try to earn as much as we can now.. for him he has 2 jobs too.. one de same as mine, de other tuition..

frankly speaking, i nvr really regard money as an important aspect in my life.. sure i know i'm not rich, but i dun quite really consider saving money, mainly becoz i dun spend alot anyway.. however i wont reject much stuff becoz of money..

go there eat? could go up to 30+ bucks.. --> okay
book out take cab home? --> okay
friend forgot to pay me 3bucks he owed me? --> nvm
stranger coming up to borrow 2bucks? --> it's okay, only 2 bucks

and the list can go on, becoz i'm really alright with money.. but now that a new thinking has been 'inserted' into my mind, i'm not sure what's really the right way to go..

prioritize money? start 'grabbing' money as we can now? somehow i feel this isnt the right way to go, but now it sure seems the thing of importance.. i always see my 2nd job as a supplement, and i even thought of giving it up becoz the money doesnt matter to me then.. but now, shld i juz hecticly do as much of the 2nd job to try to earn more? that will be the ultimate no-life... 7 days of work.. constantly thinking and rushing of work... that will mean less time for leisure and rest meant for weekends isnt it? but funnily, isnt that the path i've chosen for next time? life of accountants and auditors, work like dog for the decent pay..

almost 1am.. i still have other thoughts, but probably leave them to next time.. i shld probably go slp liao.. tml still hafta try wake up early.. coz guess what? hafta work on 2nd job! =x
