i dont know how i suddenly got the habit of writing a journal suddenly. i got like about 20+ journal entries in my signals journal. guess i must be too bored during the course and then i continued all the way lol. but that's good anyway. kills time after my medical appointments while waiting to go back to camp :D thanks to S1 who kept forcing me to write reflections lol. shall find some time to document those entries in soft copy haha.
anyway. life has been pretty neutral. my iPhone has been keeping me occupied, PS3 too. not to mention final fantasy xiii-2 releasing next tuesday wahahah.
dammit, this year is gonna cost a lot with all the 21st birthdays. not to mention, lots of opportunities for arguments to happen when friends disagree on birthday plans or presents. some people think the 21st birthday is very special and more thought (and money) should be spent to choose the gifts. more useful, or more extravagant etc etc. but some other people may feel that their 21st birthdays are just another birthday in their lives, whats the point of putting so much effort into the 21st birthday and not the 22nd one? i sort of fall into the middle category though. being a (very) traditional chinese, i feel that the 21st birthday is indeed a special one as your 21st year marks the age which you are "officially" free from the control of your parents. hahahahah. but, looking from the other side of the fence, i also feel that it doesnt have to be THAT exaggerated. you do not have to go to extra lengths just to make that 21st birthday so special. and for someone like me who is SO BROKE. budgets would be good to have. yup (there are exceptions haha). just set a limit, everybody follows and tada, problem solved. YEAH RIGHT, IF ONLY THINGS WERE THAT SIMPLE. everybody has different opinions, and that of course, is the source of all arguments. we cannot avoid arguments, but we can reduce the impact of them by having an open mind at all times. advice: just try to view the situation from the point of your peers. really, it helps. sometimes people just dont give a fuck. and THAT results in war. and that's also why we humans created fighter jets, tanks, guns, and CITIZEN ARMIES, because humans are fucktards and we just cant learn to compromise.
damn, how did i end up talking about army stuffs when i started off with 21st birthdays LOL.
happy cny (:
