Day 17 of boring holiday - Reflection of Life...

Just now read someone's blog entry, conclusion is...nowadays youngsters de life zhen de got so dark and sad ma? lol...

Holiday de shi hou..ppl will think..'aiyo..so bored..everyday also nothing to do..at home slack blankly..' But when holiday going to end..ppl will think..'aiyo..holiday end liao..sian lo..everyday go sch again..sigh..'

That reflects human's thinking..just like theres a saying 'will only treasure after you lose it' Correct! Thats wat ppl think! But why ppl hui think like that..is it because when u have it, u will take it for granted...and after u lost it, then u feel sad..lost about it..is it like that?? No idea leh..lol

So holiday de shi hou..stayed at home + stare blankly = waste time??? wat earth moving u not moving?!??!

Actually I dont really agrees with that..Cos while u r thinking that u r wasting time, or thinking wat earth moving u not moving...U r INDIRECTLY doing thingy u see...While slacking, while stare blankly..u r doing REFLECTION! U will think wat have u done during holiday..or wat have u done before the holiday..or even planning WAT u wanna to do after the holiday..Dont u think is true??

Saying about wasting time..have u EVER wonder how many percent of time of a normal person's life is "wasted" or slack? From pri sch onwards..considering all the holiday do nothing..just slacking..

Lets do a simple calculation:

6yrs of pri sch education = 2 and 1/2 months of holiday X 6yrs X 24hrs
= 10944hrs
4yrs of sec sch education = (3 and 1/2 months of holiday X 3yrs X 24hrs)
+ (1 and 1/2months of holiday X 1yr X 24hrs)
= 8784hrs
3yrs of polytechnic = 3 and 1/2 months of holiday X 3yrs X 24hrs
= 7704hrs
2yrs of jc = 3months of holiday X 2yrs X 24hrs
= 4464hrs
3yrs of university = 4months of holiday X 3yrs X 24hrs
= 8928hrs
Lets say for a person go jc, university and work rest of his/her life with 1month rest every year (average age lived = 70yrs old)
= 10944hrs + 8784hrs + 4464hrs + 8928hrs + (1 month X 49yrs X 24hrs)
= 33120hrs + 36456hrs
= 69576hrs

In percentage of whole life = 69576/560640hrs X 100%
= 12.41%
So we can see that a jc student, going to university and straight away working will have an AVERAGE of 12.41% of their life slacking.

For a person going to poly and go university then work until die; 70yrs old
= 10944hrs + 8784hrs + 7704hrs + 8928hrs + (1 month X 48yrs X 24hrs)
= 36360hrs + 35712hrs
= 72072hrs

In percentage of whole life = 72072/560640hrs X 100%
= 12.86%
And a poly student, going to university and working immediately will have an AVERAGE of 12.86% of their life slacking.

In conclusion we can say that a person would have 12 to 13% of their life doing nothing! But thats also not saying that is NOT good, as machines also need to stop for maintance...Chinese also has a saying '上吊也要喘口气' which means even go hang also need to take a breathe! Giving a break for yourself isn't bad! Waste ur 13% of life to give urself a GOOD rest and stop being a saddist would make the rest of ur 87% of life a better and more wonderful moments! =D
