I think I will only do a brief one on London.
But before that, I want to talk a little about the Christmas party we had in Liverpool.
On the 23rd, we left London and hopped on a 5 hours bus ride to Liverpool which towards the last hour all of us got cranky and noisy; basically, high due of lack of sleep and food.
Things people do when they're deprived of necessities, ya' know?
Aaaaanyway, on the 25th, we got up around noon, laze around and chatted, then went on to prepare the food for later that day.
We started at about 1500 and is glad that we got everything done ON TIME! :D
Including the turkey!
Tadaa~
*Ehem* So I used a friend's recipe for the turkey, and it's a HUGE SUCCESS!! Everyone helped too! I'm so happy! <3 <3
AAAAAANYWAY!
This is not the main point.
After food, we had a few hours of games which involved punishment of either drinking the disgusting vodka or be drawn by a lipstick.
Everything was fun!
Until someone got an upset stomach.
Other than me expressing so much thanks to those who helped to clean up the mess, for the rest of the days, all we ever talk about is the mess, instead of the hours of fun we had.
What I'm trying to get at is:
#1 My theory on all fun ends with ultimate despair (though this is in a different form)
#2 Dramas triumph over joys
Even myself. All I can recall at the spur moment if someone asked me how was my Christmas is the entire scene of someone puking in the living room and how the smell can linger for the whole of next day.
I wonder why. Because I had so much fun as well, you see. So I couldn't really grasp why is that short-lived moment can overtake all the happiness I felt.
You could argue because the impact is greater. But don't having fun has a significant impact as well?
Does this mean that negative > positive?
When I figure this out, I shall dwell on this matter again.
For now, this is how I spent my Christmas.
Though belated, but nonetheless, Merry Christmas!! :D

Didn't really get to talk to you more about this during our Skype talk. You might find interesting that recently in my Developmental Psychology class, I learned thatparents often fixate more on talking about negative behavior with their children than positive behavior. So, children over their developmental years understand negative emotions more than positive emotions, e.g. they can explain why someone is angry/spot a sad expression from others better than when dealing with positive emotions. It's been reasoned that it's because society tends to shun negative behaviors and so, parents will talk to their children more about negativity, i.e. correcting them. It makes sense that parents won't try to 'correct' positive behavior, right? They'll just say, "very good!" and move on. So maybe that's why? We're just drawn to negativity, drama and the likes because of socialization/how we were brought up in society. I feel like a nerd now. Ahaha.
Valid answer.
Cause it's not just me, everyone seemed to dwell on the same negative matter.
I guess we're so used to picking on negative things because it's done on us, so whenever we have the opportunity, we strike.
