A beautiful mind

Sunday, June 7, 2009

Had quite an 'open' conversation with Huiwen last night. Something about human behaviours. We can talk until the cow comes home but we arnt changing anything just by talking about it. Pfft. We just have to...Adapt.

Learnt something from Huiwen's blog. Something about her obsessive online shopping.

"well whatever that something is, and immerses it absolutely in floods of superficiality and materialism. which i wholly enjoy in times like these. because they never let you down. or tell you things you don't wanna hear." -from her entry

The lines kinda reflect my perspective about materialism nowadays. I used to think that those who are superficial are... superficial. Maybe materialistic/even posers. But not really nowadays. Afterall, they're one of the only real things you own. When everyone leaves you, your moral values eroded. They're the only things still with you, your possessions.
Furthermore, they aid in impression mangement.

Let me digress a little here. There's nothing wrong with being a man without principles. This may mean that the man is adaptable, react to changes unlike a stuckup man of principles. We all know there is no absolute in life. There's always more than one way to look at things and the way you perceive things changes as the way we think changes. For eg, even the most objective information can be subjective at times while things that are subjective may be objective if we had not read too much into it. It still amazes me at times.
Recently, I change my views about spirits/forces while reading a book.
See what I mean by, rhe only thing constant is change?

I'm sure Cindy will agree with me on this. Working adults work with goals in mind. Something that pushes/motivates them to work even harder. Like the purchases they wanna make, be it a LV or Gucci bag

Speaking of Cindy, who is currently obsessed with the game, dynasty warrior.
We've been typing.. Abit way too weird recently.
Below is a typical format of how our msgs goes nowadays

"wooohooo..! I mean.. Zhuge, I look forward to seeing you at the banquet. The servants of kuishin bo will see to the preparation of the man han quan xi."

"So do I my lord, I propose a toast to celebrate the memorable event. A 3day 2 night banquet."

An example of the many Zhuge Liang-Liubei converastions we're having nowadays. Meanwhile, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. =P

Happy note: Minghui and Manda back from Aussie. *kick* *kick*
