Zero-Sum Game.

My life feels like a Zero-Sum Game. Benefits of me studying so hard in year 2 have just been cancelled out by my 2nd study buddy session with the year 1's. They're good. Haha And I'm forgetting stuff already. I have always wondered that, if you forget old stuff as you learn new stuff, would the proportions of new knowledge gained be equal to the proportions of old knowledge forgotten? Wouldn't the "storage space" in the brain be a zero-sum game then? What can you afford to forget to "exchange the space" for essential new concepts?

I don't think the mind works that way. It'll grow in knowledge across all aspects, much more than the proportions it forgets. So does my life. Hopefully, at the end of all this, it'll all just fall into place. Now, its just the decision to continue and continue and continue that makes the difference. Keep on acquiring new knowledge, and revise old stuff, relearn forgotten stuff. That's what I did today, relearn. Its painful, difficult and humiliating, but... this will eventually give me the edge over others. So what if I don't know? Now I do. =D And I know more than you! Yea, I like to push myself ahead with these stupid encouragements. 

Wonderful Saturday spent wandering around in the city! First time I've been there in 4 weeks! Can you imagine! So loser la. Went to Zhixuan's house warming party. Excellent curry chicken. Very Singaporean. Dashed back to SEF for Ci Han's 21st birthday party. 

Played table tennis and pool.... I'm actually quite OK at table tennis! I never knew! I thought there was a whole lot of psychomotor co-ordination which I could not handle.... but its a piece of cake... ahaha

Taught Lionel some piano after that.. can understand why my piano teacher hits the notes so hard whenever she teaches me. Frustration and boredom. Lol. But I got him going on some scales and a simple song. 

Nice mid-night chat with Jemima and Henry at our flat. Its nice that we can talk so openly about such a myriad of things. Jemima's a lot more emo and opinionated that I thought. Hahaha always thought of her as cute, bubbly and fun. And church-going. Apparently she's quite the thinker and feminist as well. Lol. I love teasing feminists. Just because my view of the world is quite one-sided, and I have MCP tendencies. But I openly accommodate feminists! 

Good good... gotta get back into motion tonight. Another long week of grinding and ploughing ahead. 

Wish I had a little colony of mushrooms hiding under my bed, helping me to do stuff. Sigh.
