Oh how easily the heart is swayed. I wouldn’t call it falling in love, but when the things in your immediate vincity strike up a “more than friends” interest, it’s hard to be content with just sneaking glances every now and then.

No matter how hard you try to convince yourself otherwise, natural emotion always prevails. It’s been nearly a year since you abandoned me. I thought, that by this time, I would be immune to anything you could possibly do. But I’m reluctantly aware of the fact that I’m hopelessly attached to who you were. It’s like falling in love with an identical twin. The brothers are alike in all but personality. What happens when the one you love passes on, while his replica image remains? Do you see my dilemma? Every time I see your face, I see the same features of he who I loved, I see the shadow of who he was. My heart is torn between him and you. No matter how much you look like him, the simple truth is that he’s gone. I have to let go of this hope that he’ll one day return, and all would be well again.

Three factors that may influence the useful life of an asset are use over time, maintenance costs, and replacement products.

Use – When an asset is used repeatedly over time, it may be worn down and therefore does not function as steadily as at the time of first purchase. If it is a machine, for example, repeated use could cause the machine to run slower, therefore decreasing its useful life.

Maintenance costs – Also, over time, if the firm would like to keep the asset, but it is used often, it may become harder to maintain the asset’s initial condition. An older machine is likelier to break down more often, therefore increasing the cost of maintenance where it may be a more profitable investment to replace the asset altogether.

Obsolete assets – As technology progresses, there may be newer, more efficient products available to replace the asset. When an asset becomes obsolete, their residual value tends to be very little because the product is out-of-date. The value of the asset therefore must depreciate and its useful life is decreased as new assets are offered.

There went a perfectly amazing four day weekend.

Wasted on no-name temple hopping, sore butt van riding, overeating, and mosquito repellent dousing.

Never again will I go on a trip with my mother’s oh so dear newfound friends -_-

Ashley has gotten me distracted from my homework with reading Zetta Kareshi.

Why can’t guys like that exist in real life? I mean, I’m totally aware that Knight is a robot, but still! Soushi is pretty amazing too. T_T

ok ok.

back to 中文作业。 >.<

My days seem so empty. It’s a sign that I need to go to Singapore.

I seriously lack motivation to get up and go to school. It all seems so pointless now. Not even the love I have for my friends is enough to pull me out of bed. And yet I keep on going. Mainly because I know that if I miss anything, I’ll be working even harder to make it up.

Thailand is in a State of Emergency.

And yet the administration doesn’t seem to care. With one dead, 30 injured, 2 with gunshot wounds, is ISB waiting for a State of Catastrophe?

Well, if anything happens to the school buses that go downtown, I guess it will be on their heads.

Seriously. 461 Thai schools have already been shut down for three days.

—edit—

hahah i just saw someone’s msn personal message.

he’s waiting for a State of Apocalypse xD
