People shouldn't take things seriously in this world. They become sucked into the instruments of society. People should just sit and enjoy the company of another human being, and not sweat the little details that show up in the process.

I yearn for detachment, yet also, attachment.
Paradoxically, I've concluded (for now) that inherent emptiness will only be acheived with death. While one continues to exist, one is either detached or attached, or in between. There's no way that one can rise above these and be totally, absolutely empty.

I shared my after graduation plans with one pal yesterday. First time. Kinda radical, and I found it thought-provoking that she said she always thought I was different from other girls, since the day she met me in tutorial. I asked what she meant by "different", and she said she can't explain it, but simply, different.

I wonder how we perceive others and ourselves. And how frequently do we get it right? What's right?

The Singapore Universities Exchange Programme sounds good to me. Maybe I'll do it in my sophomore year. Why? Simply because I want to do some Philosophy modules. And only NUS offers Philosophy. I remembered vividly Ms Yap's advice after I received my 'A' Levels results. "You can read Philosophy in your leisure, there's no room to major in it in Singapore." How true.

I keep seeing people I know on television these days. Channel U, 10pm for the past few days I see Dave in his period costume and very long hair. In the trailers and pubicity for Project Superstar, Nat (the former NYJC SC Vice President) from Sunburst Youth Camp days is everywhere. I remembered that he and Huimin were blessed with great voices and how their talent contributed to the reputation of the Singapore delegation.
