"we rely on sight to confirm the existence of things. we don't believe in things that we can't see. so how do we know that no-see-ums exist? verification is ruled out by definition. it is an ontological quandary." from calvin and hobbes comic...


whoa i never know that such philosophical quotes exist in this comic strip that i just borrowed on a whim.

i am never a philosophical person, but i just seem to be fascinated by this quote, partly because my english vocabulary is quite weak and this quote attracted me because i did not know the meaning of two words in it...lol

anyway just for those who like to "think" to savour it!

this week si quite a messed up week..on wed i was supposed to conduct some morning physical training and because my friend stayed very far away, i did not want him to come so early to help..so i told him to ignore my superiors orders to reach at 7.00 am and to come at 7.30 instead...however, he ended up getting scolded for not reaching earlier...i explained to my superior but they told me to stop covering up for him...i feel very guilty and sad :(

because of my folly, i made my friend get scolded..sigh

and i know that his reputation among my supriors are already not that fantastic and now it has worsened...:(

then i watched this video clip on youtube..it was a song saying that we are always complaining too much, we complain that our car is not cool enough, our house not big enough. we complain that our food taste bad, our wives are ugly

but when the car is too chic, we are scared that it will be stolen, when the food is too good, we scared of getting high blood pressure, when the house is too big, we complain of the hassle to clean up, and when our wives are too pretty, we are scared that she might run away...

just what are we always complaining about, compared to the unfortunate people in africa who has no food, or those poor kids in rural india who still stays in unsanitized conditions or thos people in china who are living under no roof due to the disasters, we are a fortunate bunch...maybe we should stop complaining too much

we are really fortunate to have each other around us as friends and all...
