I wish i don't need to book in
Thanks to bifang for taking that picture. I wasn't standing on a chair or table or whatsoever.. If not my clothes wouldn't look as if they are in the air.. But to be honest, the rim was shorter than the normal rim. It would be a fallacy if i were to be able to dunk on the 10feet rim. I am a pes e clerk who is slowly suffering from the brigade syndrome of growing bellies. I cant fly anymore, or if that's the word they use to describe jumping higher/further. I am just an ordinary person.
How much do modern people value a person's word? Probably worthless. Maybe a contract has more value. It has a monetary value to it. Even contracts can be broken, as long as you are able to compensate the other party monetarily. Not to mention a promise with no monetary value to it. Human lives can also be valued. Every person's life is valued differently. There are certain criteria to value how much a life is worth. Just ask the actuary who calculates the payout one get from the insurance company.. In their terms, it represents the risk the company would take on to guarantee status quo. But after all, wouldn't that be placing a value on something as sacred as life? So you shouldn't be too surprised if people tells you one week that they would be able to go for a kbox outing, and they other week, they go back on their word.. Promises are nothing, if you follow the argument. Of course, it would not be right to over-generalise matters. To certain individuals, promises still matter alot.
Anyway, yesterday's impromptu dinner was kind of fun. Quite unplanned. Planning makes things so predictable, which eliminates the element of surprise. There is the 'invisible hand' which would work things out.. It doesn't just apply to economics! Haha. So far the most effective governments have engaged a free market economy where basic infrastructures are provided, and according to Smith's word, everything else would be settled by the hand which you could not see. Crap, i am linking economics to common everyday scenarios.
Hai, it is inching closer to 2330 on a Sunday night. Back to the lockup in the middle of cemeteries for me..
