Today at work …

Well.. firstly as my Boss asked me to do some analysis for him last week, I spent the whole morning maneuvering my spreadsheets and stuffs, and bascially got my work done right before lunch.

Then my boss was still busy as usual so I couldn't get hold of him to present my work, so I started with some readings. As yesterday I went to watch a stage play about Galileo, and also because last Friday was Darwin's 200th birthday, my Monday became VERY SCIENTIFIC (or philosophical!!??)

In fact after watching yesterday's play, my heart was gathered with lots of different thoughts, I'm not sure how I can express myself, cos diff thoughts just flying above my head. Anyway… so .. yes after lunch, I started serving the wiki and had read through (sort of) the bio of Galileo, then onto Aristotle. It wasn't easy to read these people's bio, cos would encountered lots of OLD WORDS or latins.. or whatever … I guessed I had read through 90% of the stuffs on wiki of the Galileo page, but I was only up to like 50% of Aristotle, I guess it's just not easy to 'get to know' a person who was born 2300 years ago.. -_-

Then I was chatting with a colleague and discussing my findings, and he gave me a very interesting (sacarstic) comment -- He was surprised that I had actually through the whole thing, and he said 'people became more civilised as they get richer', I said 'nah.. people get more unciviised when they get richer. Money is the root of all evil, it's corruptive'.

Then he said 'Nope… i'm at the stage of satisfying basic needs - surviving haha .. sex and hunger'
ah .. man .. Maslow Hierarchy of needs, you want me to have that as my next reading for the next 2 hrs? -_-
