the censored truth

some random thoughts

- on sending e-cards for Christmas.
I was chuckling when I embarked on my tradition-breaking activity of writing cards yesterday night when I was highly amused by certain features on Bluemountain cards. first, what's with the mass-christmas card sending function? i mean, what's the point if you don't personalize the card?! u might as well be sending spam sia.

then came the clincher - bluemountain has this function saying - "can't figure what to write? click here to generate random greeting messages." WTH!?!? wah. now besides mass sending, people need help!? to even come out with some sensible warm greetings or care/concern? then seriously what's the point!? oh well.

- on others breaking bond.
well.. on hindsight.. freedom of speech comes at a price. i ain't willing to pay that. =) just say i'm quite saddened by the breaking of bond of fellow scholars.. cannot comprehend why, especially at such a premature stage. has something gone wrong with our selection process and the whole scheme in its entirety?
