Sir Edmund Percival Hillary died today at the age of 88, almost 55 years after the ascent that made him and Tenzing two of the great heroes of the 20th century.
The younger generation might not see his faces before, including me but definitely most of the people around the world should know of their names: Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
Still doesn't ring a bell? They are the pair who were the first to scale the world highest point on Earth- Mount Everest and 'knocked the bastard' off..as what Hillary proclaimed.

Somehow I feel the current bunch of generation ( including me) living in our vastly improved technological environment can never ever emulate the spirit and courage of the past heroes to explore new grounds and conquer new horizon.
I am having a lot of dreams recently while sleeping. Most of the dreams are very weird, and more often than not it left me tired in the morning. I can still remembered some of them but it is not convenient to disclose them in this blog and yesh, it is definitely not wet dreams as well before anyone rush to the conclusion.
This week I re-read again one of my favorite book 'Marley and Me' and pulled out this 2 phrases that seems quite meaningful.
'willful disobedience is sometimes worth the price; in a world full of bosses, he was his own master'
'but just as in life, i was figuring out the destination was less important than the journey'
thinking about it, I doubt I have the courage to try the first statement but I am trying to believe the 2nd statement can actually work out.
Meanwhile, I am starting to get into groove again for my academic career. Econs might be interesting but it can get confusing as well and I am spending time trying to understand it, even referring to 2 books to understand the concept. Communication Fundamentals is totally crap, a waste of time. Organization behavior seem to be a challenge, the lecturer is not convincing enough while marketing is interesting but project intensive...1000 people in a lecture hall, what do you think huhz?
And I love NBS soooo muchhh!!!! Hahaha
