I encountered an amazing blog written by a group of students blogging on how economics is demonstrated in their daily lives. It was like a moment of enlightenment to see how the most basic concepts of economics like opportunity cost, choices, demand and supply are applied flexibly to the most unexpected things ever. One of the posts presents an interesting view on how gangs in LA deal with economics more that we think.

A really cool blog I must say that inspires me to look at economics from a different perspective of people in zeal for economics. Who knows after today I would be able to make a U turn and develop a greater interest in the subject. After all I am thinking of applying for the economics/ maths course.
Normally people find their passion in something, consider the availability of the course and apply. I guess the reversed order happens to me. Choose first, then try to squeeze my lying-somewhere interest out of the things I read. I am just neutral to everything, not passionate in anything to the extent that I would go the extra mile to do research for a more thorough understanding. Hummm... still thinking, thinking, thinking...

I feel ambivalent. On one hand, I am thankful that my science papers are quite good and that for the first time of all the exams in JC, I achieved an A for chemistry.
On the other hand, I failed my GP and what bothers me is that I have accepted it with little concern and sadness. My indifference to my failure can be a sign of lacking the drive and desire to excel, not for self glorification but for pleasing God. Is it the numbness that Anna was talking about? God's word does not have an impact on me. I am also tired of all the complaints about bad results that ran through my head waiting to be spit out of my mouth. They would make no difference anyway. Never mind all the nuisance
