Three Stories

Morning. 1130.

My friend and I went to visit the future benches of my research group with my supervisor. So happened that one another group was washing their seaweeds to prepare for future extraction.

There was this girl who saw my friend. There was I who saw this girl. So the girl waved hands at my friend. At the same time, I also greeted this girl out of politeness. But my friend was too busy talking to the supervisor and she didn’t notice the girl’s friendly smile and waving hands. And this girl didn’t respond/notice to my greeting too. Finally she gave up. Finally I gave up.

So both of us probably ended up looking like idiots.

Morning. 1135.

I saw him. So he is a postgrad student. Why does postgrads prefers undergrads and vice versa anyway? Knowledgeable and smart? Maturity? Cute juniors? Let’s hope I can find out when I’m a postgrad student. That is, if I ever join postgrad.

Evening, 1645.

I was reading dissertations. It’s amazing how they can make the acknowledgement page so noticeable. I’d like to thank A, B, bla bla bla. They say Malaysians are one of the most religious people around. So it is no surprise to see I’d like to thank God for His wisdom and strength, etc.

Until…

“I’d like to thank Buddha and God for giving me wisdom and opportunity...” Wow, two (contradicting) religions! Who gave you wisdom and who gave you opportunity? Buddha gave wisdom and God gave opportunity? Or the other way round? Either way, it must be interesting to know how Buddha and God worked together to bless their common believer.
