“most people blog about sad stuff. that is because if you are happy, you would too busy enjoying yourself to blog.”

I read this from some blog. and it is quite true to a certain extent isn’t it?

my life is pretty full now with FYP, 2 other individual module projects and a part time job. I was just complaining to my mum that even if i’m not going to school, i’ll be out doing project, or if i’m not doing project, i’ll be working. there is simply no ME time. i miss just slacking around the house, watching tv and trying (still!) to complete my huge cross stitch project.

I am glad that we have made some breakthroughs with our FYP. There are definitely more hurdles and obstacles to overcome i’m sure, but i think we can do it lah! i am thankful for my fyp mates. we are quite a bunch but it had been really great working together so far.

today in law and ethics class, our dear prof in black asked this question:

“what is one over-arching ethical principle that you will follow throughout your professional life?”

I thought so hard, and i really cannot pin point one single thing. The only thing that i can think of is so long that i do not harm anyone. but then again, what do i mean by harming someone? others said things like, being happy and satisfied with the job. i am not so sure how that can be an ethical principle, but what if you are indeed happy ($$) and satisfied ($$$$) with the job but knowing that what you are doing has some form of negative repercussions or will affect the bigger good?

it is really hard i think. you cannot lead a dishonourable life yet many a times, we choose to only see one side or just a small chapter of the entire story. or we are so blinded by the current situation that we failed to see everything else. discussions like these makes you think critically about the kind of person you are and test how strong your values are. But i feel that when you are in the actual situation, what you preach may not necessary translate into what you may do. afterall, admit it or not, we humans change our mind ever so easily.

but then again, i would not still harm people no matter what the circumstances are.

self-rationalising and contradicting myself. again.
