Midyear Exam: Day Five

It's finally over!

Chemistry, of course.. Not the whole ordeal. Hehs.. No more organic chemistry, no more electrode potentials, no more ionic product, equilibrium positions!! At least for this week lah. I am planning on attacking Chem after the competition though. Ramsden is going to turn from new to gau gau (hokkien for zhou zhou (chinese for crumply)). Muhahahahas.. Imagine the headlines. From F to A: The Boy's Journey. Lols!

Oprah section!
Okae, so I am hooked onto Oprah. Maybe it's fun to see others screw up. Hahas.. Kidding kidding. More like Oprah really shows how women can be liberated. Hmm. And it's not necessarily just for women. You can really see the passion this woman has for others. Like how she's helping others out with debt, poverty, relationships, etc etc. Imagine your whole life being about helping the less fortunate in such a big way! Man.. blows my mind.

So anyway, I didn't feel as if I quite agreed with Oprah today. She invited this guy who wrote "He's Just Not That Into You", Greg Behrendt. Apparently, this book is supposed to tell you if a guy is into you or not. What really put me off was how he was telling everyone in the audience that guys are not into them. Just because he doesn't call and smses? Just because he thought it wasn't the right time?

Well, here's what I have to say. Maybe guys can't chase after a girl 24-7, and he needs a break sometimes? And maybe circumstances are really as such that he's unable to marry the girl of his dreams yet. Like in the movie A Lot Like Love, how Ashton Kutcher wanted to get his ducks in a row, you know. It's so sad to just ask people to move on, give up just because the guy she likes didn't show enough effort in the eyes of Greg Behrendt. Hm.

Then again, he made a good point that Mr Haniss made too. If you like a girl enough, you would go all out to win the girl over. Maybe people in America are more open that way. It's either make or break, and nothing in between. Asian are more reserved I guess. Imagine if you were a girl and someone comes over and tells you he likes you and then relentlessly pursues you. At some point, you might fall for the guy. Most of the time though, he would be super irritating and maybe even a little worrying - what if he's a stalker?

Well anyway, it's supposed to be liberating for women because now they don't have to wait for guys and they can 'move on'. It occured to me how everyone just moves on. How can you move on when you haven't closed anything? How would you know where you are moving to? Are you really hoping that something would drop from the sky, and the right person would come to sweep you off your feet and make your leg pop? Girl, that only happens in Princess Diaries.

So I am of the opinion that everyone should make their intentions clear. A simple "I am not into you", "I hate you", "I love you" would solve everything in the world. That I agree with Greg. Yeah. So next time, if you don't want to hurt someone, drop the grenade before it becomes a hydrogen bomb.

Away from the book, I really liked something that Oprah said: Doubt means don't. Makes perfect sense. Wow. Hahas..
