It's not about the price tag

These few days have been so relaxing.

No group design project, no literature review, no concrete design assignments, and no meetings..

It gives me much more time to blog on things that are happening..

Just recently, in these two days, I have received two x'mas presents. They are actually very simple indeed. Got a Terry's Chocolate Orange from a housemate, while another one is a badge which has "I am fluent in SARCASM" words printed on it. The second gift is sent all the way from Malaysia!

These things might not be expensive, or they might not even be the most practical x'mas present that you can get from.. Heck, they might not even make it to your top 100 x'mas wishlist. But no matter how big or small, cheap or expensive the thing is, I will always feel appreciated for these gifts.

I still believe in the fact that in this world, it is not only about the money. Sadly, the reality really differs from the ideal world. Money actually takes into account in almost everything that we do. It is quite saddening that this is pure fact. Just look at the professional footballers, if before they play for the sake of entertainment, to play good football and to enjoy themselves as well as the spectators, now it is all about winning, winning and winning. Yup, I believe that the winning mentality is important, but I dont think it is appropriate to win in the expense of entertainment.

My ideal world would be a world where money is not the main issue for people to make their decisions. Good example: future job. A lot of people now choose their degree based on their future prospects and not based on their interest. Good prospects: Good money: Good degree.. Which I really disagree. For me, every degree is good, as long as you enjoy studying it. Sadly, again.. in the reality, these decisions are not made by us. We could be stubborn and study what we want, but if we don't have the money, do we really want to take the risk?

Back to my initial topic, I haven't eat the chocolate yet.. I dont even know when I will eat it.. I bet it will taste good though.. cause it has my name on it.

And I think for the badge, it is really cool.. But Am I really fluent in sarcasm? It is not me to decide... Guess one way to know is to talk with Sheldon Cooper to check whether we are sarcastic enough for him to notice it or not :D
