The elephant vanishes.

Finally, after four days of slogging I handed in my 2000-word paper on Shanghai's water pollution on Wednesday, which deadline was, as usual, extended for five days after I managed to produce my lecturer an MC for being "unwell". Lecturer was surprisingly really nice and sweet about it, even though I had asked for an extension over an extension (yes, kill me please) and all he said was "now you owe me two bottles of wine!" (because I extended it for a further two days beyond the original extension).

I mean, whoever says a thing like that when you ask for extensions?! That was seriously so cute, coming from my old Grandpa-like lecturer of Devt and Urban Env ;p

And I replied "Ok, what brand would you like?" ;)

Tutor for the same subject, on the other hand, is quite a bitch - oh well, shan't elaborate.

I've got quite a bit of feedback regarding my men-hating ideas and posts - that I am very much opinionated/subjective/bitchy and I should also think about all the women who've been nasty to men, etc. Well yes of course I don't deny the fact that women can be a bitch when it comes to relationships, and DUH there are obviously good men out there, BUT you cannot blame us for feeling this way about them when so much has happened to us and we have come to the point where we have no choice but to see things from this narrow angle. So really, it's just too bad if these bastards spoil the market for the good ones.

The bottomline is, the way we see the world has always been subjective. I would liken this situation to someone who lost a loved one in an accident. Would he think that the world was still the beautiful place it once was? Would he actually be able to thank God for all that has happened?

... It's also like how on the day Wei said goodbye that I stopped believing in God. Freedom and choice issues aside, this is how I want to see it. Same logic.
