emotions

yesterday, when i was eating at the hawker centre, there was this table beside me with a couple, and a man. the couple dressed pretty decently, had their branded bags with them, and looked pretty well-to-do. the man, wore tattoos all over, wore this obiang golden necklace, and had this unkempt moustache. then, this old woman found a seat beside the couple and started showing them her jade necklace, pleading them to buy it from her at $100 because she needed to money to operate her hand. the couple, just ignored her and continued eating their fishball noodles, as though it was one of the best they've ever had. just as the old lady was about to leave, the man beside the couple, without any hesitant, took out a $10 note and passed it to the old lady.
tot i shared that with you. you really can't judge a book by its cover. the old lady didn't even dream of approaching that man.

today my latest philo discussion says "Should emotions be completely contained?"
first thing that came to my mind: "NO. what MEANING will there be to life then?"
but as the discussion slowly progressed, i truly wondered whether do we really need to have emotions in our life. are they really important? sometimes they are significant, sometimes emotions are just something that divert your attention.

some people whom i know (including myself) recently, get really emotional sometimes and just have a nervous breakdown and burst. then depression sets in. and you feel like the whole world is collapsing. sometimes you don't know why you're feeling that way, but yeah it happens. glad now it isn't happening to me, though now i always feel stony. speaking of which, nowadays during lunch outings, the number of 2b people is shrinking, shrinking, shrinking. i still rmb in january, we got to go in huge groups of like 12-14 people, and it was really noisy and bursting with life. now, its just like me, wenjian, wangye. chenghan and yuzhou went to eat at the food court. =.= and the rest, (3I people) go for lunch early coz they have a free last period. so its really very tragic to see this 2b tradition slowly fading. i don't even know if people will go for the class reunion chalet at the end of the year, which i'm thinking of planning around end november.

yesterday choir was totally kapoot. sectionals were hella funny, compared to bass. on the other hand, bass is much more serious and more things gets done. so well, pros and cons. and i'm still very VERY VERY uncomfortable singing sop. i really gotta change sectionals bro.

right now, i'm contemplating whether to continue malay in sec 4. but as what chriskwan said, JUST ONE MORE YEAR AND GET A CERTIFICATE. ok, maybe i'll hold on XD
chinese lessons are really very boring too. nowadays i'm like sleeping during chinese lessons. even a gr8 teacher wouldn't be able to save the lesson from boring stories in the textbook. somtimes it gets so moral education-like and so cliche, it so does not capture your attention. and so, i end up drawing pictures in my textbook, and bryanchia starts scribbling random stuff on my notebook (like karliang's all-seeing eye, sinker/leader/pioneer, and idol predictions as well as idol quotes HAHHA) <-- makes my notebook an enjoyable read.

and later, i have to do this CEC council briefing powerpoint for the sec 3s. and they want to have nominations for head and asst head of cec council. i don't know, but i don't mind. yet at the same time, i don't know if i'm prepared for this. so SHOOT. if people nominate me, it means they have faith in me. if i don't get nominated, i'll well....be very sad. but it will be fun to see what happens.

and right now, i'm so going to prepare my karaoke song. i just realized i did a poor song choice. (and dylan is still desperately trying to find a song) so, if you guys wanna support me, please come to the atrium @ 1530!!! thanksyou!
and alaric, please try to get a dramafeste ticket for me. i'll be sad if you don't =(
oh my, i don't know what my life will be without emotions.
