It's like almost 3 in the morning and yet I can't seem to get myself to sleep. I've been having trouble getting to sleep. For the past week or longer, I'd been sleeping without the air conditioner, turning on the fan or even doing without it cos it gets irritating with your hair getting blown in your face. Even since the air conditioner got repaired over the weekend, this is the first night I'm switching it on. Hopefully by the time I'm done with this entry, I can get the sleep that I need.

So tonight I've learnt a fair amount of stuff. I randomly found myself reading up on religions around the world, probably sparked by the fact that I didn't know that the Jehovah's Witness is a religion (forgive me for my ignorance). Conversely I discovered the latter cos it was on Yahoo! news that the parents of the first set of sextuplets (in some region) refused a blood transfusion for their babies cos it was against their religion. So yeah, I thought I could happily go through each religion since I thought they would just give me some brief description. On the contrary, it provides you with the works--history, beliefs, customs, practices, etc. I have only read up on Atheism, which is the non-belief of God. (ponders for few seconds) Come to think of it, does it even qualify as a religion?

And then there's Baha'i. A relatively 'new' religion, it originates from Iran, and is a religion that believes that there is truth in all religions e.g. Buddhism, Islam, which I think is kind of interesting.

Of course my brain got kinda dehydrated so after I was done with that, I got my attention to my own faith, somethin' I was already familliar with. Totally surprised to find out that there are Muslim boybands. Like seriously, BOYBANDS. Who'd have thought? There's this band called Seven8Six from America who sing Nasyids in R&B style, though I think the rhythm is kinda weird and their music video(s) is somewhat cheesy.

So after my interesting dicoveries, I sat myself in front of the tv. And after channel surfing for a few minutes, I decided to watch 'Ali's 65'. It's a documentary on Muhammad Ali's life. Before this, I just thought he was this outspoken boxer, won some great fights, has Parkinson's disease, and is famous for the line "Float like a buttefly, sting like a bee". There's like so much more to me. A voice to the minority. A strong believer in his values. Cocky, yet delivers in the ring. The greatest boxer. I've so much respect for him now. And who'd have thought he was connected to Malcom X.

All this talk probably bores some most of you lot. HAHAHA.

Though I will say that being nice doesn't pay. And Sarah will bear witness to this statement. Heh. Give give give, but one shouldn't expect to receive. WHY?!?!?!

Okay, that was so uncalled for. But seriously, to me, there are 3 types of recipients. No wait, 4.

1. When you give, they'll be indebted to return the favour. For example: Doing important quizzes and getting free lunch/dinners in return without even asking for them. Proudly provided for by YSL-- that's you SAM and your oh-so-gay friend =D
   
2. When you give, they acknowledge it. Yet, it seems as if they're stepping all over you.
   
3. When you give, they, again, acknowledge it. And when they say their thanks, you can really feel that they mean it.
   
4. And then there are thanks that you just can't seem to feel, though you know they really mean it.

In somehow unrelated issues, "Why am I the one supposed to slog it off so that they can do their own business? As if I don't have mine". But nvm. I shall be nice =D
