Perspectives

Ah~ work has been crap as therez not much of a challenge... specially when Dubai suddenly said they wanna xtent their repayment of debts... was reading FT and got to noe tt Dubaiz debt now stands at 80bn quid which is 100% of their GDP... omg Building on borrowed lollies ttz what the papers said. Well, guess itz much like sm pple 吧, since there are pple who like to use other pplez lollies instead of their own... so 臭款

Anyw, Marpig was so bored while looking at the GA plans of a hospital tt she told colleagues tt they could actually use the plans to play Cluedo. "Who killed Mr Black... in the operating theatre?!" :P really, work can be interesting too, depending on which angle(s) one looks at

Had just watched 2012 and yes, itz another apocalyptic movie. However, Marpig quite like the movie; visual effects forms only a small part. The reasons why Marpig likes it was:

1) The central idea of the movie sets pple thinking (obviously, therez also pple who doesnt make use of their wisdom!!); the filthy rich will be saved but all else will be left to die (selfish, selflessness, etc)

2) Not surprisingly, the movie featured alot bout India and China, the emerging countries

3) Aeroplanes!! Specially the Antonov!! OMG!! Brilliant!! Argh!! Marpig wanna continue playing flight sim!!

4) Thinking deeper and trying to understand the cosmos, one would (might) think bout wat happens if the world really ends OR b4 the world ends/"I" die, wat are the things "I" want to do/say/rectify (cos u only live once and who noes wat happened after?)

Overall, itz a (personally) 7.5 out of 10 movie

Building on the above, bcos Marpig thought of point 4, hence she wants to travel as much as she can. Not only to see, eat and learn more of everyth, itz also to collect views and perspective of other pple ard the globe

Most of the time, itz diff to xperience cultures of other places with just a touch and go. BUT!! Communication and opening of onez heart to the locals can often reap wonderful results. However, alot of times, pple are too pai seh to do alot of ths. But really, to get rid of the pai seh-ness, one just needs to ponder over point 4 above. TTz wat Marpig consciously reminds herself to practise (talk bout cultivation~)

As it was, Marpig "collected" a new perspective from the wife of the boss at the chinese takeaway shop tt Marpig 捧场 every now and then. Shez from China and she asked Marpig if she has been to the US b4 which Marpig replied tt she has never been to the US and has never thought of going there, amongst all other places she planned

Her response/perspective tt she shared with Marpig was tt pple from developed countries normally would want to go to places tt are undeveloped/developing bcos to them, itz more of a 新鲜感 (Marpig also suspects she meant 少见多怪 but am polite not to say tt)

Itz true to a certain xtent + the feeling is mutual 吧. Just like pple who are in the undeveloped/developing countries wanting to improve their situation

Anyw, enough bout perspectives. Marpig shall now move on to a leetle bit bout the notion tt one have the ability to "alter" his/her dreams, even in the sleep

Sharing her recent xperience, she dreamt of Marpigz mom again. This time, she was cooking sm pancakes at home. Marpig, in her sleep, actually remembered thinking to herself; she must record a video of Marpigz mom and so, in the dream, Marpig really went to get her camera and recorded a video of her cooking the pancakes. Then, both of them sat eating and watching the telly happily...

Though therez no sound and therez no real video afterall, but it really proved tt 日有所思夜有所梦 is true and tt one CAN affect/contribute to his/her own dreams by being "conscious" during sleep. Think there are scientific papers on this smwhere...
