can someone teach me the art of persuasion? or rather...teach my dad the art of listening to persuasion. Newspaper said sth like don't step into phuket for fear of terrorism or inter-racial violence of some sort...apparently involving the muslims (seriously no offence here..i'm just reading from context) and my dad happily decides to fly over to phuket next wednesday (when i'm having my GP paper) for a little GOLF trip! mum tried to persuade him not to go..and u know what he said ? "in that case walking anywhere on earth is dangerous too what.." what the hell..y can't he play golf at jurong country club?!
in serious need of an attention-focusing machine...can u believe that that the whole day i've only done like..3 mcq papers?! i'm like having the worst time at home...can't keep my eyes on the questions and can't keep my mind off whatever's happening around me.guess the harsher (and definitely colder) school environment works by making me think faster? and the homely comfort zone i call my domain's just too..homey.
read the newspapers today regardin china's economy and the govt's decision to increase interest rates (very econs textbook eh?haha) and stuff..and realised i immediately reached out for the papers b4 the thought of reading in came to me. in other words, the words "interest rates" and "economy" made me pick up the papers as quickly as i'll turn on the TV for a real madrid match or a Simpsons episode.guess doin economics in the future sure looks a good idea..not too sure why but since i'm dead beat certain i'm not gonna do maths or anything remotely scientific if i have the choice..isn't this along the line? law seems abit far fetched to be honest..
jus caught X-games 2004 on tv earlier today (or yesterday can't remember)...eito and takeshi yashitoko rox sia..esp takeshi with all his big-arse airs and flat-spin combos as well as the rail-grinds..eito's california roll still rox but he ended up with the bronze..and suddenly i got a great idea! since that dumb wake-boardin thingie's hitting singapore's shores..any1 game for wakeboardin as soon as As end? i know where we can find wake boards!haha...time to pick up a new hobby!
i'm off to books again...sux.sometimes i just wish the mercedes benz ad was real. we should all be bornt old..start working at the top end and when we are at our peaks, drive a benz. i mean..don't u wanna be bornt old and work your way down? atleast you'll look good when you pass on the the next world and you get to savour the better things in life before you get down to the nitty gritty ends of growing up.haha..i'm dreaming..peace~!
