Had tuition in the afternoon before meeting Joel and Warrick for dinner to celebrate Warrick's birthday (or maybe to bid farewell). He's still the funny man who likes to act shy.
By the way I seriously think Warrick looks like TVB actor 马国明. Even my sister agrees.
I think humans are seldom contented. Not sure if this is a generalisation. Take me for instance. I used to want a camera very much. I was damn elated when my uncle gave me his traditional film camera. Then I wanted a digital camera. So my mum got me one when I was 16. It worked on AA batteries. Last year I got myself a Canon IXUS with my own money. Then I wanted a DSLR but my brother had one already so I supposed my mum wouldn't allow me to get another one. And then I saw one film camera (very much like a fishlens cam) yesterday which cost merely $28 and I can't stop thinking about it till now.
Is it because we are constantly dissatisfied or we just like to go for the better ones? Or are we constantly dissatisfied therefore we go for better ones?
Anyway I want to challenge myself to resist my temptation. So I decided not to make the purchase even if the price can go any lower. Like I was telling Zhi yesterday, sometimes refraining yourself from going for your desires can help inculcate self-discipline.
You don't have to agree, I know it can be rather self-opinionated.
