Lost in Translation

Write about your favourite past time.

How would you have understood the above statement? Is it

A. A sweet memory; OR
B. A lousy hobby ?

It was quite surprised to know that actually most chinese-educated people would mis-interpret the sentence as to write about a memorable moment in the past, instead of the real meaning to write about a hobby or interest.

It is not their (or rather our, oh yea i'm chinese-educated too) fault to be blamed on, in fact. I guess....it's just Lost In Translation. XD.

Oh by the way that was one past year question of Feature Writing subject I'm taking this semetser - the lecturer told us about this doubled-meaning "statement" had caused some students to get zero mark. (Ouch, fcuk right, for those students. >.<) Just before I end this post, let's try another example : "What keeps you awake at nights?"

What would you have to say? Is it

A. something that causes you to wake up in the middle of night from your dreams;
B. something that causes you to fail to have some sleep even though you wanted to; OR
C. something that causes you to be awake actively doing things the whole night ??

Oh no, another romantic confusion for us. Prepared to be lost in translation in this English-dominating world. :P

Cohabitation - should or should not in existentialism and egoism.

That's the subject we're being tested on today.

Well basically....according to existentialism, people only have to do what they think is correct at the time and place given. So, a person who at the time cannot afford to live on his or her own, should choose cohabitation as a way to save more living cost. But anyway, it's a different story after one suddenly won lottery or got a fab job - in this case it is no longer a wise decision, you know why. You earn the rice and he eats the rice. Clear? :P

Next, according to egoism, people must do what would bring benefits to oneself. Self-importance is larger than any other things. Hence, cohabitation is allowed in egoism, since a couple can get what is beneficial for them - the cost saving, the sex fulfilment (yeah well it's true what), the hormone balancing (consider some people who never get married and how they end up to be), etc etc. Therefore cohabitation is very well allowed in egoism.

Consequently, cohabitation is truly a wise decision, eh?. Seems to be. :P

By the way, oh well, i managed to screw sweet child thru - not bad eh, lol. And the zombie bass leading was like fcuk but not shit anymore - is that anything better? well....hope for better improvement next time!!

And aikz, still no nice secondhand bass in music master today i saw. SRX500 looks nice in youtube, think gotta ask the price.

Later gonna yum cha i guess?.....so that's all tonight! ciaoZ~

This is a post on How To Crap.

In approximately 1 and 1/2 hour i'll be having my moral mid term.....
Moral at this university stage...., it's no longer baik hati, belas kasihan, ali ah kau.

Now we're talking about real PHILOSOPHY!

The 4 theories we're gonna be tested on today :
1. Utilitarianisme
2. Egoisme
3. Prinsip Kewajipan
4. Existensialisme

Hmm, sound really hard eh?
And this is how studying philosophy would be - quite torturing for the brain to understand what all these great philosophers thought of for years, in just 2 hours. -.-

In spite of the exam, I'll be having the second jamming session this semester with my bandmates later tonight. Still a bit panic over the whole thing - Sweet child o mine, aih, sweet child screw me....>< style="font-style: italic;">Zombie like shit again.

Anyway, gambateh yo!

Oh yea. i gotta finish up my how-to article assignment by tonight hopefully. The title roughly thought of was : "How to save energy when using air-conditioner"

Though it sounds a bit off the mark - i'm gonna write about things like putting up curtain, tint the windows, repaint the wall white, service the unit regularly, etc etc....

What about "Air conditioner energy saving" ? Simple, precise, no confusion. But where is the word "HOW TO".......

How to put the how to!...haha...><

Oops gonna be 2p.m. already,.....guess i better get change.

IOIO
