Every so often especially when I study on my own, my thoughts turn to JK. It's funny how even though I don't know her, I do know quite a number of facts about her which can lead to reasonable suppositions about her. Which contrast with what I initially thought about her.

For one, she went through UT in Economics and History. Which is the path people take if they can't get into commerce - ie they were weeded out. Which means often later that the work they get is somewhat crap. Which is what she seems to have received going to Nortel. So she goes into journalism which in general has even a better chance of crap pay although she'll probably enjoy it. Or perhaps she justs wants to be a celebrity - woohoo, not! In either case, she didn't make the most of her intelligence and opportunities going throught UTS.

Than there is her lack of Korean and her smugness about it. Which is the opposite of what I originally thought. I even have better skill than her which is saying a lot.

Finally she just went totally artsy after UT - what's with her sense of style in clothing. But than she is whitewashed.

In all, it takes a lot of the attraction out of her. And one just has to pity her for it.

I know at the same time, she did seem to have a hard life in some ways but still, it's not much of an excuse of squandering one's opportunities in life.

Friday was interesting. On one hand, I had the good results just before 10am for which I got a good dinner out of. On the other hand, I ended up spending quite sometime looking at JK's picture. All I could think to myself was "What was I thinking!"

New Order

True Faith

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
