Today is one of those boring Saturaday where I simply have no programs, nothing to do and felt restless and tired. Was having a chat over MSN with my primary school mate and I learnt something interesting from him. A Hedgehog's Dilemma. Wondering what is that?
The hedgehog's dilemma, or sometimes the porcupine dilemma, is an analogy about the challenges of human intimacy. It describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one another in order to share their heat during cold weather. However, once accomplished, they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp quills. They must step away from one another. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship, this may not occur for reasons which they cannot avoid.
Upon explaining, I began to think about the situations that would result in a Hedgehog's dilemma. Pretty bo liao I know but somehow, this situation is actually very real in our life especially in relationship I guess. Maybe it occurs when you really like someone and cos you're afraid to hurt that person so you choose not to reveal your true feelings and step aside. Then I told him, maybe the quills are not as sharp as he thinks. If he doesnt try, he would not know. Anyway, don't get me wrong. I'm not sure guru but I think it makes sense. Everyone was urging me to try again after that 'fall'. Been hiding in that shell for sometimes and I somehow had to get out. I thought I was not able to but I tried and things definitely starts looking bright... no no, not only is it bright, it's brighter than before. But then again, even if the quills are not sharp, it will still hurt somehow. I mean in a relationship, there are bound to be arguments and displeasures.
Anyway, I passed my M5 peeps! Thanks for all the well wishes =) Next, M9 which I heard is much harder. You know my M5 paper was really a streak of luck only. I have to complete 75 questions in order to pass. But which doing, I skipped like 42 questions which means I am not sure about the answers. I just 'ti gam' lor :p Thank God, He's always so faithful, making everything fall in place despite my disobedience. oh, also have to thank the special someone since he had made the way down down with me just to wait for me to do the test. =)
Nothing much to blog about for now. there are some posts which I am suppose to update yet I did not. Tired... too tired and lost my motivation at work.
Btw, if anyone is looking for some great place to chill out, I think Thursdays and Saturdays Wala Wala has the best band! =) Lookinf forward again!
