Plenty of Thoughts

Can only say that it has been a very eventful week. So eventful that I am tired constantly. Not tired to the point of lethargy but tired such that am not very alert most of the time. Not having problems doing the things I need to do, but just not doing things with enthusiasm.
Work has been pretty stagnant. Doing nothing much except lit research really. But starting to see all the Hierarchical policies in work and how ppl try to push responsibilities to others so as to CYA. Starting to also see the non explicit expectations from the bosses and starting to feel a bit hot under the collar to perform. Hopefully things will gain headway next week with possibilities of culturing my cells. Wonder if it's against my religion doing cell culture. Growing them so that I can kill them in the end! Then again, as a vegetarian, I am in a similar sense killing veges too? Hmm.
Had a scare with the London bombings. Shall not dive into the details. Just glad that my friends are fine. Can't help but feel sadden but how indifferent most Singaporeans are. On the way back on bus, TV mobile was telecasting CNA, reporting latest news abt the attack. However, looking ard, can see that 90% of the passengers can't really give a damn abt it. Prob the mentality is "Hey, it's not in Singapore. What has it got to do with me? Noisy TVmobile." etc. Why are most Singaporeans so complacent? Ever thought how catastrophic such an attack will be? Can you put yourself in the victims shoes? How will you feel? Do you know how to react in the event of disaster? Well, these are the questions I asked myself. I only know I will want myself to be prepared. Becos Singapore is definitely in the eyes of the terrorists. You never know...
Another thought that came to me: What happened in the past couple decades that resulted in such extreme thoughts and actions? There has always been terrorism in the past, but mainly confined to a locality, due to clashes btw religion and race etc. But what caused the present international lash on the civilised countries by all these terrorists? What are the reasons that resulted in the hatred for the civilised world by groups like Al-Qaeda and JI? Guess the reasons are far and wide, too multi-faceted to be discussed easily? Still, it's saddening and alarming. Will there ever be world peace? Maybe not.. and maybe that's why ppl and beauty queens are ever in pursue of it.
Commencement came and went... Nothing much really. Spent >16 years of my life chasing after that piece of paper. Now that I've gotten it... it's lying crumpled on the floor along with my piles of stuff that I don't have time to clear and no place to store. Paper qualifications can only say this little about a person. Please never judge a person by the number of paper qualifications he has. Please do not have a 势利眼. You are doing injustice to the person and to yourself. Due credit must still be given to those who have for I'm sure they put in loads of effort to obtain it, but never look down on another who doesn't. Never judge a person because you never know the circumstances that he has been through. That's something I've learnt during my university years... Though, not from university education. Haa.
