Thought of the day

Sometimes it is those who you least expect to be the ones who cheer you up when you are feeling thoroughly down.

To those quiet, unbeknownst angels in disguise, thanks for the helping hands. =)

To those who have always been by my side, I can never thank you enough. You guys make life bearable with a touch of laughter. =D

Thought of the day

I tell myself, "Girl, you know how terrible it was. Don't ever let your children go through the same pain and torture."

Yes, to my future children, I promise you if you don't like Math, you can ignore it. >.<

I think I died in Math's direct investigation today. I'm so sorry for my team mates. X_X

Thought of the day

You must be thinking, "This fella is blogging more frequently nowadays." Well, yeah, I think it's my only way of relieving some emotions and thoughts to prevent them from suffocating me. Here's my thought of the day...

An event happened today which dumbfounded yet amused me, in a way, how wishes come true but the wisher is unable to handle the wish as one thought one could. I guess sometimes we really don't know what we are wishing for. It's like wishing for a BMW 7 Series and then when it appears before you, you suddenly realise that you have no driving license and therefore, unable to drive the hottie. (Don't insult my analogy. I just have the sudden urge to mention the car in this post. LOL)

Marriage

So my Legal Studies lecturer has started us on the last topic of the year, Family Law. The first part of it revolves around marriage. Through out these past lessons, my understanding of marriage is really challenged as I always regard marriage in a very traditional Catholic manner.

First of all, there is the argument regarding the definition of man and woman. Now, if technology has not created sex operations and stuff, we won't have the problem of it. What's with the rising number of transexual couples, the Australia Court suddenly decided in 2003 that the gender of a person is to be decided upon the time of marriage, the perception of one's own gender and the operation on the change of one's gender is irreversible.

Perhaps it is my conservative mind but I really cannot understand how people would and could accept such explanations of gender. What determines your gender if it is not your chromosomes or your gender determined upon birth? By conducting an operation and changing your genital parts into artificial ones, how does THAT change your natural gender?

For that I cannot accept transexual marriages. It is against the law of Nature. Do not argue with me that by changing one's gender, the gender is changed and therefore, acceptable. I do not believe in such changes. It's like an old woman or man injecting botox into the body, trying to look young, but cannot truly become young as the fact that the person is old cannot be changed.

What about homosexual marriages? Some parts of the world recognise it. I cannot and I will not. While I agree with giving homosexual equal rights in property, employment etc., I don't agree with homosexual marriages. It is just not right. I'm sorry I cannot be empathetic but I don't agree with same sex partners. I don't hate transexuals or homosexuals, I just cannot accept them.

Marriage in the eyes of Catholics is sacred, a voluntary union between one man and one woman, a vow given for life. To change and fool around with the definition of man and woman simply defiles the sacred meaning of marriage. Let me just add in that I am against divorce, not even for any reason at all. Don't give me talks about 'what if there is no feeling anymore' or 'what if a spouse is disloyal', etc.

The problem with people nowadays is generally, they are so absurdly casual about marriage. It used to be treated with utmost respect and a heavy vow not to be taken lightly. Just because there is an exit for marriage called divorce, it doesn't mean we should opt for it whenever things cannot work out. When two individuals marry, they choose each other by their own free will. Since it is one's own decision, can people not be a bit more responsible about their choices of life partners?

When a couple 'loses' the feel, that's because they're not communicating. They're not taking the effort to make every day a 'romantic-feel' day. When a couple quarrels and cannot come to an agreement, it's because both are unwilling to tolerate and be patient. When a spouse cheats on the other, or worse, both are cheating on each other, that's because of disloyalty. As mentioned earlier, the sense of responsibility is missing. When there is disloyalty, only forgiveness and repentance can be the remedy. Yet, nowadays, how many are willing to put up a fight, not against one's own spouse, but to save the marriage?

I think those who know me well will know enough that I can never be a divorce lawyer. In fact, I don't think I would ever choose to practice family law. The world is in too much a mess to talk about what family really is.

Life so far.

Things haven't been absolutely great so far.

Let's see, last week, I was emo-ing over the fact that my class chose boring 'peace and war' articles over short stories. I just couldn't understand why they love such articles. Why not short stories? I certainly feel it would be much more interesting. The analysing of language, characters, plot... it's so much more fun! I really miss those days of attending Brother Albinus' Literature in English class. =(

Then, there was the coming of the next batch of scholars. I wouldn't have minded their existence if the College actually INCREASED the number of shuttle buses which are responsible to take us to and fro college. We didn't have to squeeze or 'battle it out' for seats on the bus since a long time ago. I can't believe the nightmare is back... Not to mention the influx of people in college. Taylor's ain't big in space, alright? It's terribly crowded. Like thousands of chickens together in a small pen. The laundry shop which monopolises the business in Casa must be so happy. Money are dropping from the skies for them. And their service is horrible. I heard they don't even use proper detergent to wash your clothes!

Thank goodness there were two great events which cheered me up! The animangaki event at Sunway University College (which I talked about it previously already, though briefly) and the Daicon in MMU, Cyberjaya. My very first experience of attending anime convention! (Pics available in my FB acc) Cosplays, anime merchandise, Japanese Karaoke... Nice! ^o^ Obviously, I got myself a few tokens from those events! =D

I also stumbled across a new online RPG game. The Secrets of the Solstice. Looks like RO, sounds like RO, but it's not RO. It is BETTER than RO. I have a Solstice account just to try out the game. I find the system well organised, noob friendly and creative. There are more which I have yet to explore. Perhaps when I am more familiar with the game, I will give a full review of it. Nonetheless, I would say it's a recommendable online game!

Bad news currently is that my com seems to be rebelling against me. It's been seeing blue screens of death, lagging, hanging and jam. Please don't let it be virus or spywares.... curse 'em existence! >.<
