Quoting an article in Straits Times:
"Every attempt to write history is flawed. Every history is mutable - till more facts are unearthed, till the next political movement comes about.
Once we recognise this, we can get on with the business of trying to understand history, knowing that the accounts we read are at best a sepia-toned faded photograph of the multi-hued, multi-sensorial panorama of the past."
What an apt description of the way to look at history - and i couldn't agree more. :)
I especially like the way it's described as a photograph.

badminton with bestie was a hilarious affair, as always, with her vivid accounts of how her sister sprained her backside, resulting in her whacking her sis's butt in the middle of the badminton court. HAHAHA!
though my right arm hurt like mad after playing, i'm glad i took the time off to relax and have fun :)
but now, i wish i had more time, when i see deadlines looming ahead. would love to do all the things that i have to do, i have no qualms about it, but time is just not really enough. haha! usual problem, and the usual way of solving it will be to manage it better!
