This post is dedicated to Matthew

Back home now... Went to Sim Lim to meet Ziig and Matt just now. Ziig and I were buying a present, a discman, for Matt. And he was right there with us. :P Anyway, my 'elaborate' plan to surprise him didn't go so well. But glad he likes it. Had a good chat about the band under one of the blocks just now. About the band needing to shape up considerably.

As I was complaining earlier... about the world being so judgmental. Its not like I've never experienced those things. (Except the sleeping around part...) Its just that I choose not to? Not that I don't enjoy those things. Its just that I don't crave it. I don't need it... Is there anything wrong with that? Am I being stiff? I don't think so... I've found something else which satisfies so much more than what the world can offer. Who's losing out? I'm SATISFIED... I don't have to go on chasing pointless things, putting on false fronts, lying to myself and to others around me.

Check out this Blog. Notice anything familiar? Notice something similar in the posts? Killer... ROAR!!
Anyway, been reading about this new website which detects plagiarism... Its here... It allows teachers, lecturers to submit essays of students. The program then checks with its database to see if the essay has been plagiarised. Quite amazing... But kinda irritating too. I think it'll become quite big in Singapore soon if it hasn't already. Haha.


Results of Your Jealousy Test

--------------------------------
 Jealousy
Ruler
Your score = 42Your score

What does your score mean?


Most people experience a certain amount of fear that their loved one could leave them for someone else. After all, these things happen, and when they do, it is usually very painful. You fit right into this usual range - certain situations may spark feelings of jealousy, but generally you are not preoccupied with the fear of losing your partner. If you were honest with yourself while taking the test, this means that you are secure, strong, independent and rational enough to recognize the possibility of losing your partner to someone else, but not be consumed by it. That does not mean that you do not care; you would certainly be as sad or crushed as anybody else. However, you know that if it ever happens, you will survive with your self-esteem and dignity intact. You realize that even though you might love your partner very much, s/he is not the only fish in the sea, and that you would eventually find happiness with someone else. Such feelings give you a sense of security and the strength to trust, and allow you to be comfortable in the relationship. That, in turn, boosts the chances of a lasting and fulfilling relationship.
