Sleep deprivation seems to be the only constant in my life these days but I'm nevertheless relatively happy or shall I say, "not depressed". The late nights come from chilling out with kindred pals, suppers and movies. Really, it's all worth it since my carefree student days are numbered. My only goal this semester is to get decent grades and spend more of my precious time building social capital.
My futile attempt at finishing tomorrow's readings ended halfway through the first article - Edward Said's "Orientalism". I was interrupted at the part on "dominance and control" because I was reminded of what Gill and TR said today - they said that I was CONTROLLING! Ok just because I encourage people to drive less and get very anal about some things does not mean that I'm domineering by nature! It's the exception not the norm!
It's really a matter of perspective. Gill doesn't like to give in to me easily (I appreciate that she usually comes around after some cajoling) so she thinks I'm controlling because TR usually (nicely) accedes to my requests. Put simply, she's as controlling as she thinks I am so she thinks that I'm controlling! (And at this point, TR will politely excuse himself from what he calls a "cat fight")
What would I do without such amusing company to pep up my life? :)

It takes on contolling woman to know another. Maybe we should not use the word controlling (very bad connotations), we should use assertive.
hahaha assertive then! I dunno who started the controlling discussions.
Zheng Tianrui! Lets just blame him.
