Dream 1# Amazing people (the answers of the world)

There are many amazing people in this world. So many that they are uncountable. It could be the guy next door, Benjamin Franklin, your aunt, or even a helpful stranger you happen to come across. Yet, only some of these amazing people are lucky enough to become household names.

So how does the amazing stand out for the amazing?

And how does the ordinary become the amazing?

The usual answer to this type of question - learn.

But learn what?

The first idea: learn the knowledge of the world.
But many people hold that upon their shoulders.

Learn what then?

Next possible answer: Learn skills related to communication. Interaction, speech...
But the gift of gab is common as well.

If that is not the answer, what is then?

LEARN TO BE DIFFERENT.

But...There are many that are learning to do so as well. And even when trying to be different, normalities will definitely start to seep in (Humans can't stand re-using a good idea). Old patterns, old work plans - if these things appear, then 'different', will still hold a remnant of the past. Even then, when you are truly different, the people may not receive.

Is difference really and truly something hard to come across?

Is it something that will appear once in a blue moon?

Is it really something that hard to do?

Those questions I can't answer.

There are many questions in this world, and not all of them have answers. This may be one of them.

In the end, this world is also a question.

What if the world as we know it is all an illusion? What if the knowledge we hold is all a lie? What is the real honest truth? True justice?

Maybe in the end, there is no answer.

And I - a minuscule piece of the huge jigsaw puzzle, has not yet seen enough to truly understand it all.

Reality 3# YAY MAFFIA!!

I can play mafia!! YAY!!!

It's quite a confusing thing actually if you're not used to playing it digital. But getting the hang of it was quite easy. It's harder to find the mafia over the net though. I can't see ANYONE'S expression. So guessing as a citizen is quite hard....

I was citizen for most part, but when I finally managed to play as commissioner there was a POWER SURGE.

GAAAHHHH!!!!

Oh well...

Reality 2# Woe Betide the one who Can't Play Maffia (online)

You know, there are many things in this world that would prove to be a wonder. Like the development of technology for instance. Well, it may seem plain and ordinary to anyone born in the 21st century but seriously - we are far different from the age in which we had to rub sticks together just to get fire.

Wait a minute...

WHAT I JUST SAID HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PROBLEM!!!

ARRRGHHHH!!!!!

On Facebook, there's an application called Maffia New. I played the game during the past two librarian camps I went to as well as hosted lightly in my class. I learned about the application from my friends and I SERIOUSLY wanted to play it.

I haven't had time to go and get it but now when I have the stupid thing WON'T WORK!!!

Every time the window is half way loading a pop-up appears saying 'Mozilla has encountered an error and needs to shut down'. WTF?!

I tried several times over. But still!

Anyone has any ideas what may be going wrong?

.......

......

...Anyone?

Reality 1# (Breaking library rules to do this...)

If we were to talk about how the day went, then you can call the time in which we had that Hari Koperasi thingie suckie. The reasons?

Number 1:
Datin's boring drawl. You can read through three full pages of the paper (Malaysian Today; The article of mental diseases was interesting. I never knew what' 'schizophrenia' was before) and still she would be talking. According to my friend, Datin's speeches are ACTUALLY shorter than Pn. Lee Mei Ling's. But someway or the other, when Datin is talking, look around and you will see many faces about to fall asleep.

Number 2:
While the teachers were sitting under the shade, us students were left to roast under the hot sun. If you wanted a tan, you'd be happy. But if you were more interested in your skin condition - the horror! Whilst I am neither, I definitely hate sitting under the sun.

Number 3:
The MAIN AND IMPORTANT REASON. IT WAS A PRACTICAL BORE. All we were doing was sitting there like idiots and listen to people drabble on about 'Penyata Akaun' and some other blah. All we were 'supposed' to do was do some kind of support/suggest opinion stuff. Even that, it was more likely because some people had been asked to do it.

If you don't count in that horrible event, then the day went along quite well.

Though now, I highly doubt the usefulness of doing things like Hari Koperasi.
