甄嬛传

I'm recently hooked onto this Chinese drama which is supposedly very popular in Taiwan (they showed it three times), called 甄嬛传. And I find myself looking at the females in my class and wondering who looks like the emperor's concubine, or a maid, or an evil concubine etc. Lame, I know. But at least it makes for a fun daydream experience.

Assignments and presentations are starting to come in and so I'm supposedly busier. This sem seems slacker in terms of workload but because I am so unmotivated to work hard, it sucks. Sometimes I tire myself out when there's no need to. Like watching 甄嬛传 till wee hours of the night.

That day I was having a convo with a friend, who said he read in a book that everyone should have a real fight once in their lives. Like physically fight another person. Cuz we should experience the feeling of losing all  rationality once in our lives. But I guess as we grow older, it's harder to lose that rationality. The stakes are too high. Then again, who is to say we cannot fight. We can still fight in our own ways. Our own sneaky backstabs, stirring trouble, spreading rumours, putting thoughts in the minds of others. I guess the impact will be greater than a physical fight. Such fights are very draining. Yet we find ourselves unable to stop once we pit ourselves against each other. Till we engulf ourselves. And die.

Must be too much 甄嬛传.
