turned out the that illusion of the stock going to rise again is just tat, an illusion. fortunately i did not buy it tis time and saved myself a massive fall. but im still such an idiot to allow myself to almost be deceived. haa i believed this must be bad karma for my past related misdeeds.
wat?! how is it possible that man u managed to win arsenal? not by one goal, but 2! just look at the standard of soccer they are playing. how did man u playing their lousy game managed to score 2 against undoubtedly the best team in the epl? haha im going to attract lotsa flame for this post. but im still gonna do it ;). man u sucks! for the record, im not even a arsenal fan.
the jb trip had to be cancelled coz my buddy couldnt make it. i was supposed to give him a treat and since he wont be free, we had to settle for another day. ended up catching up on my sleep, finished "tuesdays with morrie" and called up the primers for the rock climbing thingy. the response wasnt really gd. in fact, its quite bad. hope to hear gd news from the rest tmr when we meet up. tuesdays with morrie was really thought provoking. its abt an old sociology professor views of impt stuff in life and of life itself when his days were numbered. there was this chapter they talked abt detaching urself from the experience. shall end my post today with a quote from morrie :-) . food for thought....
"but detachment doesnt mean you dont let the experience penetrate you. on the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. if you hold back on the emotions, you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. by throwing youself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely. you know what pain is. you know what love is. you know what grief is. and only then can you say ,'all right. i have experienced that emotion. i recognise tat emotion. now i need to detach from that emotion for a moment.'
