crap, wenhoo beat me to replying to it, altho i was the first guy to read it. let's do a blow by blow commentary yay, since smk did me such a great favour in posting yay

purpose in going to sch, i dunno either, i dun feel its as much abt being surrounded by muggers and stuff, for me, its more a personal thing, like i need to see a real reason for attending sch. i dun see it, but i continue doing so, more out of an inertia against change, and a fear of having to pay back lotsa money. its more abt finding ur own personal motivation, mayb if u can ally getting involved wif helping pple wif doing well in sch, u can find a greater purpose in going to sch? i dunno. pple mug, but tat shldnt affect urself personally, ur reason is for u to discover urself.

lab reports galore here! ya, i hate them too, think they are a waste of time, and quite pointless, and ya, its generally quite sad la, having to spend more time on a lab report den on the lab itself, which i think is crap

abt how there has to be more to life than mugging, kind of, but at the same time, to those who haf found their purpose in life, i like to think they are mugging not for good grades, but rather as a stepping stone to achieving their ultimate goal, like tat guy sitting next to u in the LT may haf grand dreams abt finding the next cure for cancer, or building a shuttle to alpha centauri, n u do need the knowledge and basics from education. i mean, nus even has a course in social work, so wat wil u think abt someone in there who wants to get good grades in the academic tests?whether tat equates to mugging in ur view is debatable, and whether u think all tat can be achieved purely wif flair is kind of debatable also. personally, i m undecided. i mean, we hear lots abt all the genuises of old who din get much education, but actually, if u wiki them, u realise a lot is abt being self-taught. they learn loads from those who haf gone before them. "I see further because I stand on the shoulder of giants before me" sounds kinda familiar? u can do well in some ways, but at the same time, it may not be totally unrelated. debatable.

n oso, abt using ur flair to make a comeback, seriously, based on yrs in hc, i do think u can make a comeback if u want to. whether u want to is ur decision. i mean, i get how u feel, cuz i wonder wat i m doing wif my life all the time, and wat all this is in aid of, n honestly i dun haf an idea. i m juz stuck in this twilight zone now, where nothing seems to be worth any effort, and i stumble on like a lost zombie, i dunno. mayb some of the others can offer more constructive advice on self-motivation. i would certainly like to hear from anyone

abt how u haf no interest in engineering, n want to work in the stock market, can i ask u to help me invest oso? i oso want money, yay!

abt how u r helping ur fren, its nice to hear la. i mean, its juz good to know more abt wat u guys are up to, n if u r really making tat big an impact on her life, its great. i do have skewed thoughts, but well, lets juz leave it at tat. i believe in platonic frenships, but considering how many members of the opposite gender i know, i dun think i m able to make any kind of comment on this, not a very convincing SME i think. helping pple is good, n sometimes, i think i shld try to do more in tat respect, but juz too lazy. inertia is juz too great. i need someone to kind of kick me off my butt, but well, tats another thing for another day.
