A Day Well Spent?
I went to the Library @ Orchard today with Lyon, perhaps hoping for a brand new experience of visiting a library. Yeah, the deco was cool and the ambience in the library was obviously different from that of a neighbourhood one, more sophisticated and such. Found a book that would probably boggle my mind for a while; An Introduction to Philosophy. Well, the book could be summarised by a question: "Which comes first? The egg or the chicken?". Get the hang of it? Guess I would need more time to understand and finally, read philosphy which is one of the modules that I have selected for this sem. Lyon was rather dumbfounded when he read just one section of the book, imagine having to take it for a semester... Well, we all gotta try to look on the bright side of life... right?We walked from Orchard all the way to Bugis, some what like a mini route march... Only without the greens and the dullness of the usual settings (Trees... Grass... and green people marching alongside you...) Kinda enjoyed the little walk that I had with Lyon today. Our final destination was to be Sim Lim Square, our usual hangout when we get really bored or really interested in some new technological advances. Well, I started off finding peripherals for my Sony Clie, only to find that the prices for them are still as high as ever. Lyon soon found his stuff and I was left hoping that the current Clie pullout from the Palm market would trigger a clearance of Clie accessories at dirt cheap prices. Well, its just a hope... Guess the people at Sim Lim would comtemplate just as much as we...
Going off to campus tomorrow to attend a modular talk by the vice dean of my faculty. Lets hope I get some seats this time round...

Hey dude.
Go read the book [Sophie's World] by Jostein Gaarder. It's a very good sweep of the history of philosophy and provides very good stories to explain specific ideas of some philo-greats. And the story line is simply terrific. I'm sure your professors will recommend. And of course, I heard the NUS-philo courses will include a lecture on the philosophy behind [The Matrix]. Man~ You must lend me those notes! I'm still intrigued by Matrix.
