Causes of exasperation ...

Wa-lau-yeh, its been so long since I've blogged ... seems like I only put in a new entry per semester of studies lolz =D

Anyways, results were pretty decent last sem (thank God!!). Holidays were pretty fun too :

(1) went down to singapore for SG's 42nd National Day

(2) met up wiv WoW guildies in SG

(3) had fun wiv my granny (she's 88yrs old this yr but still cool)

(4) progressed well in terms of raiding in WoW =D (guild is 4th on Frostmourne, baby ... and I OT'ed thru it wohoo!!)

It might not be much, and I know of friends who did alot more during the 3 weeks of holiday ... but in my book, itz a frickin success story hehe =D

Yeah, so a new term is beggining, 1st wk of classes are pretty much non-existent, and its the calm before the storm (in terms of assignment and such).

Went yumcha wiv andrew, sweetli, darren, and .... andrew's brother (shit, forgot his name lolz ... sry!!). Managed to catch up wiv each other and enjoy each other's company - to a certain extent. (dumb cafe packed up before 1am - and charged me RM 1.60 for 2 cups of warm water!! =_=" )

Anyways, throughout the conversation I came to realize that certain things in this life are INFINITE. (lolz BIG word hahaha =D ). For example :

(a) The sun always rises in the east & sets down in the west,

(b) Male rhesus monkeys often hang from tree branches by their amazing prehensile penises,

(c) A dog's naked behind leaves absolutely no bacteria when pressed against carpet,

(d) Watching an hour-long soap opera burns more calories than watching a three-hour baseball game,

(e) Out of 100 ppl u know, 1 of them is bound to be contracted with the disease know as Stupidity.

I believe that I do know at least a hundred ppl in my life - and I've found the Stupid one. =)

Quoted from wikipedia :

"Stupidity is the quality or condition of being stupid, or lacking intelligence, as opposed to being merely ignorant or uneducated. This quality can be attributed to both an individual or a person's actions, words or beliefs. The term can thus also refer to poor use of judgement, or insensitivity to nuances in a person who is otherwise intelligent."

wait, there's more ...

"Individuals may also become stupid when their rational thought is derailed by strong opinions or rigid beliefs. In this case the victim falls into confirmation bias and begins selecting data: becoming intentionally blind and deaf to contrary evidence, while at the same time collecting evidence which supports the beliefs. Rather than being based on low intelligence or missing knowledge, this is the stupidity of closed-mindedness and willful ignorance."

I believe the 2nd part of the definition properly describes the person in question. Cheers. ;)
