Personal Relationships make me =(

What is Personal Relationship (PR)?
By definition, relation between persons.
The dictionaries always make it sounds so simple...

I have been facing some problems while I was talking with others
I found out that I make mistakes while talking, then I'll only realize it when the other person twisted his/her face...
I guess I tend to talk before thought. Not a good thing definitely.

Just that day, I actually said "Study makes me half dead (as the Chinese would say it)" and I saw my friend beside me giving weird looks.
Then I remembered my friend lost a loved one lately. I feel real embarrassed.


Another recent case is that, I kindda accidentally mocked a sensitive friend by revealing her result in class. 
I guess she was mad because by the looks of it, she was not happy with it at all. 
I believe Asian are sometimes more kiasu than others, but if I were in her shoes, I would hate me too. =(


Yesterday, when my lecturer was asking the class about a replacement class, one of my friend told the lecturer that she can't make it to class because she has another class. 
Clever me actually went ahead and said "why don't you miss your class?" just because I was getting annoyed.
Hmm, I feel like a devil now, don't remind me. 

Eventually, I did apologize to some of my friends and, in a way, compensate the others.
A good thing is, I realize my mistakes (well, at least some of them) and I am willing to change.
I even bought some books on PR with my voucher. XD
All in all, THINK BEFORE YOU TALK, sometimes it does make a great change.

Signing off,

What is the point of studying in uni?

This is the result of random thoughts after what happened today.

Incident:
I was in Dr.G's tutorial class today and we have contradictory statements.
Dr.G was telling us that OE (Old English) pronunciation does not have any diphthongs (2 vowels).
However, I read in a publication that there are diphthongs in OE and they are namely 'eo' and 'ea'.
Hmm, how strange. Dr.G later stated that from his readings, it is said that diphthongs developed later in the OE.

After thoughts:
Nobody could be absolutely right or wrong in this case. Answers can only be found through more readings and findings (which we find it a problem because most of us are already busy with other stuff at hand, nope, not 9gag this time, truly course works and co-curriculum).
I remember the saying that nothing in this world is of absolute.
So researchers here now and then are still debating over stuff that are still in the unknown because of lack of evidence.
For example, take our grammarians Chomsky and Halliday.
Fight all you want guys but both theories have their strength and weakness.

Which brings me to thought no.2.
Why are we here?
I myself appreciate the chance of learning and gaining knowledge but I see friends around me taking this lightly and I begin to doubt if I am right.
I don't blame them because they are here for the "passport", as what the Dean meant by the Degree Cert.
I like to learn, but learning now is waaaaay different with learning back then.
People now are more practical. They see things in a yes-or-no fashion.
For instance, is this useful to me? Yes. Proceed. Is this relevant? No. Forget.
What is the point of going through university if we were to categorize every knowledge according to the practicality of it?
Is it necessary or mandatory for us to know everything?
What good will it bring?

I am not saying whether this attitude of questioning is good or bad, it's just a food for thought.

It might be right, it might not be. 

Who knows?

They say nothing in this world is of absolute.

=)

Oh P/S, does anyone know anything about the diphthongs in OE?

Do enlighten me.

XD

Update

It's been quite a long time.
I know, my mental alarm clock had been ringing me for the past few weeks.
However, I do have a perfectly good reason to be so. Yeah...
I am busy
Hah!
See? XD
Well, it's the start of the new sem, it takes lots of getting used to.
Firstly, I am more active.
Active in the sense that I am organizing an event PLUS I am performing.
Huhu, it's gonna be fun.
M glad and thankful that the ones beside me are as supportive as always.

---Here goes the thank yous speech---

To my parents and my family, being with you guys and being happy fuels me enough to face daily challenges.
To my dar, m thankful that you understand the little changes I am going through and choose to laugh with me whenever hardship may arise.
To my friends, thanks for being here with me. Although a close friend of mine suffered from a twist of fate, but believe that everything happens to make you stronger, and we will be there for ya, as always. =)
