Merdeka n stuff

First and foremost... it's Merdeka! I'm actually not a particularly patriotic guy... i don't go round waving flags n stuff liddat... but i DO throw my rubbish in the tong sampah, i DON'T spit in public... uhh, okay-lah.. sometimes i do... but i generally think i'm a law abiding citizen :)

anyway, back to mundane stuff :
i was thinking abt dirty jokes. heh, no.. not thinking OF dirty jokes... thinking ABOUT dirty jokes :P
i've realized dat as we move on in life, we get more exposed not only to dirty jokes but to "sins" of the world. u know, stuff dat used to be wat u thot was definitely a no-no... like sex b4 marraige, porn.. and dirty jokes. I suppose there really are only 2 responses a person can give to stuff like dis... one of course is the easier way... which is to just play along, "everybodys doing it", "it doesn't harm anyone", "don't take stuff like dis so seriously, it's all for fun"... and there's the other harder response.. which is to draw the line earlier rather then later and to raise the standard rather then 2 lower it...

i suppose after 8 months of only interacting wif "goody guys", there's a sort of a "culture" shock when u get back to the real world... and maybe its just a little thing... but i can't help thinking... that if our purpose in life is to bring pleasure n 2 glorify God, does this glorify God or does for my own pleasure...

uhh, contrary to wat it may seem... i'm actually enjoying orientation... it's just this part about the dirty jokes dat get 2 me.. :)
