theme hospital!

My mom brought back my theme hospital game which she says she regrets bringing back now. I can't seem to stop playing this game, although its been like 12 years. I get a kick out of allocating space for clinics and "designing" how the patients would move around the hospital. You know the process flow that sort of thing. Its a good game and I love playing it.

something mildly happy

yay! finally saw some improvements in my results. Not a lot, but its still something. Extra motivation to continue on. So for my final semester, Fight on!

futurama

Ha, i'm always slow on the uptake of the latest shows.. I'm spending my holidays watching futurama, which is I guess a pretty old show. But hey, its good fun to watch. Just that I'm feeling guilty on not doing work.

googling your name

In a fit of egoistic fancy and an attempt to avoid doing thesis. I googled my name. It is interesting to see the results. The only relation that I have with all these entries are the two images circled.

It puts things in perspective, seeing the same name as you but belonging to different people. Somehow I have the epiphany that the world does not revolve around me. Or rather this name that I have, does not belong to me solely but shared with other people. Although I think that people view this as a coincidence and not a sharing of name. Its just something to think about on the flip side.

It reminds me of this quote, I think by shakespeare: A rose by any other name will smell as sweet. It brings to the question, what defines a thing/person/something? The name? or the physicality of it? What if the flower rose is not called a rose, but some other name like table? or fske? would it affect the perception and association? A bunch of table, a bouquet of table, I'm going to use tables to propose. What would it be like?

Of course there is a certain sense of disconnection. It may not be in english anymore, and this example may not apply as table would probably sound normal to a person who does not know the word rose and its association, but associates the word table with the flower rose.

So what's in a name so to speak. Random and useless musings on a rainy friday afternoon meant for thesis.

nearing the end of the sem

Today is a semi breather from the mad rush of sumission. Although I would say that some will think otherwise. I'm happy to say that tupperware and asus is finally over. Vase has been cool too. I'm satisfied with the outcome and the goals so far. Hope it would continue.

Next stop is thesis, and after that an end to this sem. So looking forward to what happens after but never before.
