I originally only had my thesis to complete. Now i have tutorial classes to conduct as well. But I've gone beyond that. I've an extra 2 hours of consultation a week, am part of a trio of tutors who decided to make an extra set of notes for the students, volunteered to be a friend and mentor to a year 2 undergraduate, etc.
Even though that may not sound like very much, people who know how much effort i put into things i volunteer for will know how heavy it will be for me. haha. but life's not all about relaxing and enjoying right? if i can make a difference, why not? (even though sometimes is overestimate my capabilities... haha...)
had a rather enjoyable day yesterday. had brunch with liang and then proceeded on to engine for tutorials. a massive group of students turned up for my second class. was pretty stunned for a moment there. haha.
then went to vivocity with liang and jialiang (dun ask me why they are both liangs). walked around and i wanted to buy this tommy hilfiger polo but sadly it was S$134 and there was only 15% discount. (wished i earned more money... haha).
so no work done yesterday but hey, everyone needs a break right? haha.
anyway it's the weekend again (which to me means typing out notes and preparing to see sup on tuesday... haha). hope everyone has a good one!

Been busy. My train of thoughts a little derailed, but let's get back to the sacrifice debate. =x
I agree with the point of magnitude. My point is that if it's minimal, it should not be considered as a sacrifice.
You mentioned that if boyboy likes the apple better and he chooses the apple, the sacrifice made is minimal.
Similarly, a woman who envisions her girls to be university graduates prefers this idea better than spending her own time freely(and maybe energy), then the sacrifice is minimal.
If a guy values a Dean's List placing more than his social life, than spending more time on his academics is nothing more than a minimal sacrifice.
If it's minimal, it's no point talking about it.
But as usual in all debates, this line whereby you decide if it's minimal or not, is fuzz-zay.
The sarge lost his life. That's huge. Compared to boyboy missing out on an orange.
But in the mind of a boyboy, since he can't picture how impactful losing a life is, his thoughts on losing an orange might just be the biggest sacrifice he can every imagine. So perhaps that's a sacrifice afterall?
Eh, as usual, when I start to think too much on a topic, I tend to go in circles.
