mere utterances = unreliable.

It's Friday. Finally. When i woke up this morning, i went TGIF !!!

lol. Some of you may notice that my posts for this week have been...impersonal. Thank you for the calls, msn, sms-es. I haven really had time to think through things myself, so i didn't say much.

Well, things are now status quo. But during the break today, a deep conversation with Joseph taught me the philosophy behind the whole ___ thing. Finally, i've gotten an answer. An answer to why things are liddat, how and why two people not mutually in love hold up a relationship like ours. Suddenly it all makes sense, suddenly i understand from the male's point of view. Brutally honest, i must say. But i'm game for it. Shan't elaborate though. The thesis is too controversial. BUT Joseph is wiseeeee. God knows why we got into a topic like that, but it really helped me. Guess it's pre-arranged by heaven!

I won't lie and say i had a happy week. Sure i was unhappy. Health...tsk too. I'm starting to rely strongly on ventolin again. Plus the headaches and what-nots. But it wasn't a bad week either. Work has been quite productive, and HL101 tutorial put forward an interesting theory.

Writing/Speaking = Mere utterances(unreliable) & Performative Statements (e.g I love you) = No referentiality(unreliable)

Hence, the narrative is unreliable as it stems from memory, which is based on (and from) writing/speaking.
In this case, we should never hold someone to their words, because promises have no referentiality.
Thus, we ought to be surprised if promises are fulfilled.
And more often than not, promises are fulfilled only in special occasions.

Rather logical, huh? It's kinda true...

Enjoy ur weekends!
Ima rest well for the battle next week!
