One week Term Break Holidays is here!
It's the 4th day and I'm bored stiff, still have many things to do but just can't get my ass off the bed to do them. The only thing good about this holiday is that I can go back to my NATURAL sleeping habbit, go to sleep at 4 AM and get up at 1 PM. It feels so good to get up late, especially since you can't never do that on working days. Hey don't say that I'm lazy or something, you always want what you can't have, right? The more it's forbidden, the more you want it so bad. In my case, that means sleeping 12 hours straight till noon and not worrying about getting late for work!
But it's only 3 more days left till I have to get up at 6 AM in the morning again. God, I hate getting up so early! Does anybody have any idea how to spend the rest of the holidays full of fun, but without spending too much money?
Go out and with your friends? I do that. I meet my friends almost everyday. Just yesterday I met an old friend, and it's nice. We used to talk all the time back then but I haven't really talked to her much for quite a long time. I'm glad she's doing very well. And since all of my friends are working that means I can only meet them at evenings. I am pretty occupied at evenings. But still don't have much to do at afternoon.
Playing games? I've finished Shadow of the Collosus (fully recommended! Simple but awesome gameplay and wonderful visuals!). Been playing The God of War. And already at the last part of Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. But something happened with my TV and now it can't be turn on. And me and my bro are too lazy to carry it to the nearest repair shop (which we also don't know where it is).
So any other ideas? Please don't tell me to read. I am doing it. I'm reading a very good book now. Maybe i'll write a bit about it right now.
Sophie's World
I heard about this book so many times but never got the chance to read it myself. Then just right before the holidays I came across this book in the library. I took it without thinking. This will occupy my holidays, or so I thought.
This book is a must read if you're interested in philosophy. The idea is amazing. It's a novel that has main character and plot and everything, but it also a book of history of philosophy. So there's this teenage girl named Sophie, who kept receiving letters from a mysterious philosopher. Teaching her about philosophy. The history, the people, the ideas and the meanings of it. From Democritus who invented Lego, to Socrates who invented hide and seek, to Kierkegaard the loneliest person on earth, to Marx, everything there is to know about philosophy!
I'm one of those people who think and ask questions about stuffs that are stupid and waste of time for some other people. Questions like; Who am I? Am I really the person I think I am? Or am I just a product of the society? Why am I here? Is there really a purpose or I'm just a casualty? Why things happen the way they happen? Why do I feel the way I feel? Why do I do what I do? Why do I believe the things I believe? What is life? What is religion? What is God? Who is God? Is there really a God? And all those there'll-be-no-answers questions.
While I can't help but keep thinking and asking, sometimes I also realize that it's a waste of time. What's the point of thinking all these things? Doest it do any good to me? Am I just wasting my time? Is there a meaning behind it? Yet, another questions emerged. Arghh! But the book told me, that it's okay to thing about such things. Though we may not be able to find the answers, but it helps you to understand more about who you really are and the world you live in. Isn't it a pity if you live in a world for so long but you never even think about where it came from and how it works?
I find the book very inspiring. Plato and other great philosophers have changed the world by thinking abut these things, well I may not be able to change the world, but at least I can change my own world.
And that wraps up my review!
Just now, the marketing manager from office called. She asked me how am doing with the YearBook I've been working on. So sorry guys, there's going to be another delay. My compie crashed a few days ago and now it won't start. Don't worry, all the files are safe but I just can't work on it right now. Not till I fix it.
Now I'm going to take a shower and continue my book. Maybe I'll write again tonight.
