Do you remember
I went to see a doctor for a routine checkup regarding my condition. If you haven't heard, I have hypertention. In a more digestible form, high blood pressure.
I was impressed with the fact that she knew her stuff very well & was extremely patient with her patient (pun pun pun). Seriously, I've hardly encountered Doctors who give their 100% to each and every one of their patients. 2 thumbs & 3 cheers!
Had a pretty interesting conversation with the her which made messed around with my brain a little. She was going on about a list of syndromes and all I had to answer was yes or no.
Doctor: Do you have diarrhoea often?
Jerry: Eh, probably once a week?
Doctor: WHAT?! How come you never told anybody?
Jerry: Well, I thought it was normal. I've been having it for a long time.
Doctor: That's not normal you know.
Jerry: It isn't?!
That conversation made me feel as if I was abnormal. If that were the case, what does being normal feel like?
Everything seemed to make perfect sense. Hand tremors, messed up bowel movements, excessive weight loss etc. They were all linked to the same thing! More to be continued on my disease.
I'm actually quite serious when I say that I might not live past 50.God Buddha must be playing a terrible joke on me. My father claimed that it had something with my past life being messed up. Which begs the question, why can't I atone for sins that were committed in my previous life (Buddhists believe in such a thing) within that life itself? Why must I atone for them now? Not only does it make any sense, it is damn unfair!
Why is there a need to fight for a better future that you will never get to see? Not many would go the distance for their future lives because their future selves won't even remember what their past self did. Hence, they do not have to feel obligated to display any form of gratitude.
I feel bad for myself in the next life. If given the chance to meet my past life, I'd kick his butt.

Anyway on with the brighter side of life, I bought something new.
I bought a new scientific calculator!
Well, nothing much to get all excited about. If I were to compare, the feeling of getting this new calculator is nothing compared to getting your first one. Remember those days when you were spending more time fiddling around with the buttons rather than using it for your maths problems? The best part is knowing the fact that your name can be spelled out using the limited amount of "letters" on it.
Mine was spelled as: "āEāāY" . Having nothing better to do in the past, I made sure the particular model that I was buying had the necessary buttons readily available.
Anyway, irrelevant stuff. Why did I buy a new calculator? Too much money on my hands? Never was there such a case. Since would be so many people willing to part with their calculators for a dollar at Cash Converters, why can't I just buy one off them? The thing is, I already have such a calculator.
"Jerry, we all know you didn't have much of a childhood but you have to know the difference between toys and tools. Also, this not like toy collecting where you buy 3 of the same toy for different purposes."
Konata Izumi's theory: place one on display, leave one sealed in the box and take the last one out from the box to have a few glances before putting it back just to have the "Out of the box" feeling every time you repeat the process. This only goes to show the extents people go through just to fulfill their pleasures.
$24.90?? What gives?!
$24.90 was a small price to pay for the extra functions. However, that does not change the fact that I still dislike spending money on necessities.
Look at the [ ] boxes above the numbers. Each and every one of them has a different function.
Wth is this?!
If this is Maths, it's the mind blasting kind.
Future Mechanical Engineering students, these would be the stuff that you'd be doing most of the time. If there are tools to make things easier by even the slightest, get it.

Noticed the difference yet?
