Learnt Helplessness
After another easy kayaking session with nyp students at paris, i took a taxi to ps to meet up with jc.

Had a long chat with the taxi driver.

He is sick and tired of the life in Singapore. If, by any chance, he has the money, he will want to migrate to china to live in a small rural countryside and stay a peaceful and xiao xiao sa sa life.
That is his goal in life.

I pity him

Has he been to china's rural countryside before? does he know what it takes to have a peaceful and free and easy life?
He want freedom and thinks that he can find it over there.
He blames everything for the situation He is in and thought that by going to another place, he will be better off.

Rubbish.

I really wanted to tell him off. He will only make himself miserable day by day having such thoughts. A great example of Learnt Helplessness by Seligman.

My power is based on the starlight...

In the span of 2 days, i got to meet with 3 acquaintance who all guessed my age to be 26.
It was just 6 months ago when i put up the post about the rule of 1/4, saying how people said i looked like 16 etc etc.

Its amazing how people can age during the span of 6 months...

I just realised today that the next new moon will be my lunar calender's birthday....

( satistics becomes 4 acquaintance in the span of 3 days)
