I’m doing a philosophy paper and it feels like I’m writing a big blog post with citations from normal human authors.. haha.. anyway another quick stupid facebook saying from someone.

That’s just my opinion

I can’t begin to tell how many things I can say about that phrase. “who cares?” summarizes my thoughts best. This phrase seems to be a common end-all of any proposition that is cut down by some basic logic. When all else fails, say “that’s just my opinion” cos who can take away the right to another person’s own opinion right? That’s acceptable. What is not acceptable is the sheer stupidity of holding on to an opinion out of pride and not a quest for truth. Haha.. and then deleting it all cos you realised that you were wrong but am too afraid to admit it because you think people might think lesser of you.

That’s just one thought. One of the other thoughts begins with with a christian perspective, something like “only God’s opinion matters” or, your opinions can’t change anything..

There are so many other reasons why its stupid but I have to get back to my paper.

If I’m right(I hope not..), I managed to show that changing the disc scheduling algorithms only save about 1000W in 67days. oh man. Switching off 2 x 7Watt florescent light bulbs for 67 days does the same job la! Don’t even talk about the air cons.. 1000WHr costs next to nothing!

Besides being all awake at this unearthly hour, its also worth noting that I’m feeling weird all over. I got up at ten but until now just don’t seem to be able to sleep. How torturous is that? So I’m doing some FYP and reading. My mid term break already started and I kinda have quite a few things to hand up after its done.

I wish I could pick up some you tiao and soya bean at this time but I don’t think that’s possible. Had a good lunch, dinner and I think I won’t be awake for tomorrow’s lunch. Sigh. Time’s just running too fast for me to do any catch up. I think I’ve already been overwhelmed without knowing it. haha.. at least it doesn’t feel bad and I have my head screwed on straight.

I think I might also feel like making a life is pretty complicated as opposed to being handed a role and pre-set instructions for everything. Off I go now. Maybe after abit more work my body will fall into line and sleep before the sun rises.

“It takes a lot of courage to have complete trust”

I just saw that on someone’s facebook status. Short of saying its stupid, it’s actually closer to completely doesn’t make sense at all while looking profound.

The truth is, trust is built up over time and following that is knowledge of the person and a sense of whether that person is deserving of trust. When a person is responsible with another’s trust, it doesn’t take alot of courage at all to trust him/her. When the person is scum, trusting him takes stupidity, not courage.

Why do we trust our Jesus for our eternal life?

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.

1 John 5:13

Because we know from the bible he is able and willing.

Today was so long that I thought stuff I did in the morning was yesterday! It went like this.. last night I felt like I needed more time to do stuff so after chatting with YX on the phone till about 1:30 I went to sleep and got up at 530! haha..

So what happens at 530 in my house? For one, it was REALLY HOT. I don’t know why but it was sweaty hot. So I got up, went down and found my mom already awake reading. I shower, and start on my FYP stuff. Tragically I realise my findings are nothing really very interesting today and I haven’t actually got alot done. So on it goes until about 630 when I decide I should take some photos of my place from the 17 storey HDB nearby. I walk there, take this picture and come back down.

So I come home, try and get some work done and finally get too tired at about 1130 so I nap till 1230 and find Hannah in the house when I get up and my parents returned from their anniversary breakfast. Drove to school and dropped my sister at vivocity for a lecture from 2-4 and then head back home. Head out for dinner with YX (oooo… olive rice at thai express I like..) then come back home.

Feels like too little for a 20 hour day! Anyway, I just did some work and tried to find out how people achieve those film effect on their photos.. I also have yet to discover how they do the super vibrant photos which are so soft and pastel like. I found a photoshop action and tested it out.. here are the results.. pretty nice and arty but not exactly film-like. Nice though. Here’s an emo shot.

What do you think? heh..

Off to bed for me! I’ll go hunt somemore actions and stuff down and eventually learn to do it myself. Goodnight one and all!

Lady photographers always interest me because they lack an obsession with technical details even though they might actually be pretty good at it. Looking to learn how they process and look at photos.
