recently, a friend asked me if i have ever felt so happy that i thought life could not get any better. now, this got me thinking rather hard. and i must say, i don't think i will ever feel that way. as in, i don't think i would ever think life could not get any better. i mean, isn't it a little disturbing, if you tell yourself ok this is the best, it's not going to get any better than this. like, even if you're feeling so ultra uber happy over something, why wouldn't you want to entertain the thought that life could get even better? i mean, why impose some limit and refuse to think beyond that? i thought of how this concept could relate to so many other areas of life, like let's say i've achieved really great things in life. why would i want to say, ok that's it, i've reached the peak, and there's nothing more for me to attain. and i just sit back and be contented with what i've accomplished, and i don't bother striving for even bigger and better things, believing that i've already done it all. no way right? i think it's better not to limit ourselves like that. of course then again, it doesn't really matter that much because well, even if you tell yourself that you'll never feel happier than this, and if something even better does eventuslly come along, you can simply revise it and say, oh i was wrong then. because now i'm feeling even happier than at that time. simple. no harm done. but well, the point is, i just find it funny that anyone would actually limit themselves like that.

anyway.

lessons are getting really really lifeless. and that's an understatement. preparing for exams just sucks away life and joy from lessons. and it's not as though there was much of that to begin with anyway. =/

and, i just finished the effing iop TODAY. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! deep sigh of relief. just so glad it's over. I AM FREE FROM YOUR CLUTCHES, YOU PESKY MILLSTONE ROUND MY NECK!! ok up next, tok presentation. >< then, final exams.

what a life.
