Okay, so I so regret taking Sociology and Philosophy together in the same sem and both under the same lecturer. Technically, both subjects are related, yet so bloody far apart. To put it in short, Sociology is to study about social science, where your personal thoughts and feelings are affected by those around you. On another note, Philosophy is about studying your inner thoughts, and what you really think without being affected by people around you.

You say leh? Confusing or not? Apparently, the same teacher likes to use the same examples to explain both subject matters. Lagi confusing lah. At first she'll say W = x+y then she'll go on to say Z= x+y also. I really look like this now -> @_@. So yeah, when she caught one girl mentally regretting why she took the subject, inside, she caught me also. It's not like I don't like the subject, It's just that I think it's going to be hell in the exams. zzz. I don't understand one bit. And when I want to object, I suddenly don't feel like because it seems so much that the text book philosophy... is her philosophy in life. To object it is to go against everything she thinks highly off. If I say your god is a pig, you think you come slap me or not?

But anyway, I'd have to perform a little act of torture and promise myself that I would absolutely think nothing but to love the subject more than I love myself. My grades are at stake.

==================

I had Chemistry Lab today. So at 9 in the morning, I had to run around Main Campus to hunt down that faithful white garment we called the labcoat. It was a studious task as I didn't know where in fuck's sake I am, and where in hell will I end up. So I just followed the arrows. Literately. Thank god the "arrows" are somewhat accurate. A little bit of human conversation and dignity ditching, I finally got the guts to ask for directions, however the word direction may lead you. So I ended up at the Taylors cash counter thing, which I really dislike, due to the unresponsive attendants there. She was on the phone, so I went up to her, and smiled, obviously signaling that I needed to pay up for something. She didn't even look at me =_= And continued on her phone, "Aiyo, ya lah! Why she like that wan!" sums up most of her conversation which I was forced to overhear, damn sien. Taylors got awarded with that Hospitality and Tourism prize? Bullshit. They should train their staff first before bothering to sell it off.

SO okay, I was ignored. Fine. As hell as I'm going to wait for her to finish her 1 hour phone call. So I looked around for the "place where all lab coats reside" and found a lab prep room which has this a4 paper messily stuck on the door, on it written in large black font was "LAB COAT COLLECTION HERE". Or something like that. So great, I should enter. BEEEP. Wrong again. The bloody place looks like a toilet, from outside at least. Actually, every room in the SAM block in Main Campus looks like a bloody toilet - blue and only has enough space for a sink, toilet bowl and a shower head. It looks nicer from the outside, but inside, I wonder how do these SAMians squeeze their post puberty bodies into one hell of a tiny room. Nowonder they get off so easily, if you get what I mean.

So nevermind. If the map says HERE, go THERE. :D Okay fine, I didn't understand what I just said either. So I went into this miniature door which I could have barely fitted in, and found an office room, which I might say is big enough to accommodate one person. Which it did, thank god to that person. Blah blah blah, I'm kinda lazy to type insignificant stuff, I went back to the office. And poof! I have another attendant who was seemingly free. Note the "seemingly".

So I went up to her and told her I wanted to pay for my lab accessories. She said, okay fine... went up to the computer, type in some stuff, pick up the phone, dialed a number and asked "Whats your student id?". But thats not the best part, the best part is that when i told her, her words were "Hello darling!! Oh my, it's been a while since we last talked!".... which was obviously directed to the person at the other end of the phone line and not me. And I was like =_=. Then she forgot all about me, the loser who wants her lab coat paid and done for. Well, after 10 minutes of her giggle and chirping her twirky voice into the plastic equipment, I was finally able to get my coat. I missed an hour's sleep just for that. =_=

Putting on that coat today made me think. What if Ms. Stephanie Phoa was never born a thinker and is an obvious rebel? What if she was one of those.. other species, who listens to her parents day and night, loves calculus, scores an A+ on every subject, contemplate suicide if she failed to make the cut into a scholarship program. What if that other Stephanie dreams on becoming a rocket scientist, instead of some low life ambition like making billions and helping one or two human beings out there to stop and think about the consequences of committing suicide and possibly save a life. What if this Stephanie actually came out a successful scientist who works in a Bio Lab along with her other nerdish companions like that certain maggot. Oh yeah, and she found the cure for cancer.

Seriously, won't that make you shudder.
