Goodbye.

"Nothing of Particular Importance" has helped me a lot in the last few months. When I couldn't make sense of situations, it helped me rationalize my thoughts. When I didn't even know what I was thinking, it made me dig out the thoughts underneath. It has gave me a place to rant went things were not ok.

It's not like things are ok now. Things still aren't dandy. But I don't think this blog can help anymore. In fact, it is causing more trouble than it is doing to help. As a result, this is the last post for "Nothing of Particular Importance".

COMMENTS ON TOPICS DISCUSSED

In the last post, I have decided to first make some comments on some of the topics I have discussed in the last few months. Some things have changed, most things haven't....

The talking trees: The trees don't talk to me as much anymore these days. My favourite one still speaks to me occasionally, though, especially when I stop for awhile in front of him. Yup, quite an attention-seeker, that one. The other day, I walked past it, and it didn't have many words for me. It was more of a "Hi, long time no see" sort of thing.

Knitting: "Knitting is a potential for disaster. Why run straight into clearly going to be a disaster? .... Because it feels good" (May, 30). View still stands. Although, before, it was more... knit because it feels good. Feeling good overcompensates for the potential disaster. Now, it's more that all activities, even non-knitting ones, are disastrous. Hence, one might as well knit. At least it feels good.

What you don't know won't hurt you: View still stands, 100%. Things told in confidence, things that I accidentally find out and that I probably shouldn't know, things that I overhear... all that sort of stuff, just keep it inside. Just pretend all's good, all's dandy. That's the way.

The Chemical: Over the last few months, a lot of it has evaporated. Very recently, though, some of it has condensed back into the pot. Overall, though, the concentration of the chemical in the pot is decreasing. It helps that Bounce is being fed in the pot too. That helps with the decreasing of The Chemical.

August 4 Post: View still stands, 100%.

Fish has learnt to how to breathe a little out of water now. Still hasn't completely evolved a new respiratory system yet so it can permanently live out of water, but it's learning. It can stay out of water for longer periods of time now. Not discouraged, though - evolution takes billions of years.

Monsters Under the Bed: Monsters still there, dagger still there. Monsters still under the bed, daggers have been put aside. Whatever.

Alternate writing style: Doesn't work, too hard.

Rightio. That's it for the commenting on previous issues. Now... for some...

INSPIRATION FROM MY CLEVER HOUSEMATES

Housemate A (to Housemate B): You can't tell me who to love.
Housemate B: Oh yes you can!! Regina George says so!
Me: Who's Regina George?
Housemate B: Regina George is from 'Mean Girls'.
Me: I see. Some quote Aristotle, others quote 'Mean Girls'.
Housemate B: I can quote Aristotle! "The law is reason free from passion".
Me: Righhhhhhht....... I wonder where you got that from.
Housemate A: It wasn't Regina George that said that love thing, it was Regina George's friend.
Housemate B: Yes, but they were all in the same circle, under Regina George. So she is like a delegate of Regina George.
Me: So it's Confucius's disciples saying some of Confucius's beliefs, it's still "Confucius says"...
Housemate B: Exactly.
*Note: To those who are not chick-flick maniacs, or to those that do not live with chick-flick maniacs, the quote was from "Legally Blonde".

My housemates are great. Special shout out to the one that will be leaving us soon. We love you and unnamed person EQUALLY AND DIFFERENTLY =P

FINAL OTHER UNCONNECTED THOUGHTS

- Congratulations to someone for obtaining 2nd interview!
- To N201 girls: Always remember to 享受人生, in both ways =P
- If you want free food, help people study. They tend to reward you with chocolates, biscuits, ice cream, and the lot.
- I much prefer phone to email. If possible, please use the former to contact me (exception: overseas contacts... don't worry I do not expect phone calls!). MSN and Facebook are fine, but obviously for slightly different purposes than phone, email.
- Do not trust your own judgment of someone. Listen to friends. If you don't, you will regret it. You will see that they are right.
- Always pretend all's good, all's dandy. Too much of a hassle to explain otherwise.

Rightio, this concludes "Nothing of Particular Importance".

Thanks for reading, pallies!
