The good lif.

So my american philosopy student friend loaned me this book to read about the history of philosophy and its pretty good. Some views i agree with, some i dont but all are interesting and thought provoking. Heres one of my favourites.

"Happiness is not the life of pleasure. Some pleasures are degrading and humiliating and more importantly, pleasure is just an accompaniment to satisfying activity, not activities end goal or purpose.

The good life is not defined by wealth, which is just a means to happiness, nor is it defined by honor, power and success, because such things depend on the whims of others. Happiness, properly understood, should be self contained and complete in itself."



So true.

Officially 3 months.

So I've officially been here three months and served my probation period. No one has told me to leave yet so I'm assuming I've passed. Confirming this, my boss has expressed he wants me to start on a new project so yep.

A couple of things i've learned in my three months here.

1. Chicken rice every day is not a sustainable diet
2. Wearing an undershirt to combat sweat is counter productive
3. Hanging t-shirts on coat hangers means you can just put them onto a rack instead of having to fold them
4. Working late doesn't drain you - its the ride home when your tired
5. Drinking beer before you go to bed ensures a deep deep sleep
6. SG girls do not appreciate the joys of drinking on the street (most)
7.... theres more but quite tired at the moment.

Will update this soon.

Anyway I'll probably be staying here for 2 years - 1 year minimum. But I'm coming back in October for graduation. Can't wait!
