If you're expecting a post about my current job as a teacher, then you have my apologies, I'm keeping that for another day xD I just thought that I should blog about what took place just now.

Yes, just now. Like, '2 hours' just now. Tanjonny and Simon_vindicated and yours truly here went out to the nearby mamak to chit-chat and gulp down some heavily-sugared drinks, and of course we engaged in our usual round of talk and discussions about this and that and everything else.

We talked about teachers, and teaching as a job; about marketing people and 'management recovery'; about Vision 2020 and flying cars and Archie comics; about smoking and coming out with health cigarettes; about Goo Goo Dolls and Randy Jackson playing bass; about Jon's new SonyE phone and how much it costs and how he can't spin it on tabletops anymore like he did with his old trusty Samsung; and even about our fellow blogger who's in Aussie now, Currynoodles :D

But the more interesting part of the night was definitely in how we branched into discussions on.. non-material subjects (not sure how to put this). We brainstormed on so many different thoughts and ideas that are not...material, so to speak. We talked about dreams, supernatural events and then delved very far into the topics related to the mind and the subconscious part of our existence. In no way can I possibly describe the discussion in detail, but it was seemingly...eerie, in the way that we were grasping at unknowns and debating without any real plausible proof or substantial evidence. All we had were arguments and we kept throwing them into the melting pot of ideas which soon bubbled and simmered under the fire of our engrossing speeches. I had really wished that we had the discussion recorded down, it certainly would've been really really interesting to recollect what we went over together in our own limited wisdom and experience, because this kind of deep intellectual and philosophical conversations tend to have a very fleeting hold in our memory, and surely enough by the time we finished we could hardly remember the meat of most of what we blabbered about.

I just wish we had it recorded down one way or another...
