The Purpose of Life.
I read this off http://www.everystudent.com/wires/greatest.html.
Thought it was very meaningful.
Consider a hammer.
It's designed to hit nails.
That's what it was created to do.
Now imagine that the hammer never gets used.
It just sits in the toolbox.
T
But now imagine that same hammer with a soul, a self-consciousness.
Days and days go by with him remaining in the toolbox.
He feels funny inside, but he's not sure exactly why.
Something is missing, but he doesn't know what it is.
Then one day someone pulls him out of the toolbox and uses him to break some branches for the fireplace.
The hammer is exhilarated.
Being held, being wielded, hitting the branches -- the hammer loves it.
At the end of the day, though, he is still unfulfilled.
Hitting the branches was fun, but it wasn't enough.
Something is still missing.
In the days that follow, he's used often.
He reshapes a hubcap, blasts through some sheet rock, knocks a table leg back into place.
Still, he's left unfulfilled.
So he longs for more action.
He wants to be used as much as possible to knock things around, to break things, to blast things, to dent things.
He figures that he just hasn't had enough of these events to satisfy him.
More of the same, he believes, is the solution to his lack of fulfillment.
Then one day someone uses him on a nail.
Suddenly, the lights come on in his hammer soul.
He now understands what he was truly designed for.
He was meant to hit nails.
All the other things he hit pale in comparison.
Now he knows what his hammer soul was searching for all along.
Now, What's my purpose in life?
It's weird to think about it. ^^

Let's start with Saturday.
I have an erratic sleep routine now.
I sleep at 9, wake up at 11.30, talk on MSN till 1 and sleep till 7.
I suppose lying on bed and doing nothing does help you fall into deep slumber.
Anyway, woke up at 7 to do my all time favourite thing.
Haha.
FENCING!
OMG.
It's been like 1 week 3 trainings I'd missed! D:
I feel like I've hibernated for the winter time and just woke up.
It was sooo liberating.
Seriously, I never liked to exercise till I came to Junior College.
Then it was like.
Anyway, I lost to Shuren, but won Shikai and Justin (:
And my hands hurt now.
So I shall just skip all the way to afternoon.
And I feel a little... erm... weird at peer tutoring.
Haha, some screw up.
ANYWAY, overall, erm, Saturday was pretty much the same.
Cliché and routine.
Sometimes, I just feel like going bungee jumping,
or doing something so crazy.
I don't like anything to be keeping me down.
I tasted freedom now ( not from parents -> I've always been given so much autonomy. Haha. )
and I'm not going to give it up now.
^^
I'm going to try everything now.
Like everything.
Haha.
I'm not going to keep myself clamped down to whatever life wants me to follow.
No one scares me.
Trust me on that.
I may be stunned.
But I'm definitely NOT scared of you.
For I'm even more scared of something else even more.

I envision myself.
Dying.
Haha, so pessimistic right?
But I must say I do think of the worst case scenarios.
That's me I suppose.
Haha.
^^
Dying may be the best solution sometimes I guess.
When you get depressed.
And when all looks bleak.
But when in JC,
the only thing you can ever be depressed about - Relationships.
End of story.

Anyway, Sunday was awesome!
^^
Met with Jun Hoe.
And we sorta went to watch the Last Song.
FYI: It’s damn nice.
So much better than Dear John.
They only kissed like 8 times in the whole movie.
And Miley’s nasal voice pissed me off only at the start.
But they acted quite well.
Haha.
At least I enjoyed the movie.
Or rather criticising Miley at some parts of the show.
Haha.
Anyway, then we went to Bugis.
And we were looking around for something which we wanted to buy.
Haha, we just couldn’t find it.
Can’t find it in Somerset too.
Can’t find it in Ion too!
Gosh.
But it’s okay.
‘Cos we treated ourselves to a very very nice meal.
At Xin Wang Cafe.
It was delicious.
Oh man.
I am now dreaming of their curry chicken and mango ice.
I want to go there again!!!
So I really enjoyed the company of Jun Hoe and stuff.
And we need to get our stuff the next time we go there!!
^^
Thanks! <3>
Now, this is where everything gets serious.
