Today marks the end of my internship (although it officially ends on the last day of April). Oh, there was a small farewell party with cakes and stuff but sadly I couldn't stay for it coz I had to go down to Uni Stuttgart to collect some stuff, my colleagues are really nice people. Anyway it really feels kinda different from the normal working days. Somehow everything feels more... well.. i might say peaceful, nothing to worry about... dont really know how to describe it... its just different. Perhaps its just leaving the place, while on the bus, I think I will really miss the bus ride when I looked at the scenery outside. It is really nice, with the broad landscape and well.. its pretty scenic, bus ride which goes thru a small town. I think I will miss the quietness of that place.
When I went to Uni Stuttgart (Vaihingen) today, somehow I just feel that there is something different. The people are different, atmosphere and landscape, like I'm in another world. Somehow I feel more at home in the small town I'm living in currently but unfortunately I have to move to the hostel near Uni Stuttgart.
I will miss Ludwigsburg and its surrounding areas. Never really liked cities ya noe.

Thoughts
Snow, as beautiful as they are, are always accompanied by dark skies.
Should we be happy coz its snowing? or depressed coz the skies are gloomy?

About DOTA
As most people will know, DOTA is a warcraft 3 game where tons of people are playing every moment, including myself.
Zic once said that playing DOTA is wasting our lifes hence he quit playing that a long time ago. However for some of us, we still continue playing... for me its more like playing with my frens in sg, something like a get together session.
There are also time when I do play by myself, like J wong does.
I cannot help it but write about the people who plays it. Actually from the game itself, while playing it, you can see all kinds of people. Most of the time it just shows you how ugly people can get. The dark side of people that they normally dont. Especially in team work. Everyone has a nice face, looks like they are accomodating you while doing something together face to face, but behind that mask of theirs, you never know what they think.
In DOTA, you get to see what is BEHIND that mask of theirs. What they are actually doing in a team work thingy. They express their thoughts openly, vulgarities and stuff, curses your whole family, expressing their dissent in ALL KINDS Of WAYS possible in game; and some keep the negative thoughts to themselves and accept that others are like that. This is coz we dont get to see the face behind that player's name. Btw I do it mostly the 2nd way. I'm a nice guy ^^.
There are selfish people, who only thinks about farming items for themselves, doesn't care if the team dies or not, in another words try to get the most credit by getting the 'MOST' kills - says others are noobs if they keep dying - thats coz you arn't helping.
There are also people who are indian chiefs, they are very obvious, you must play their playstyle, different heroes must have this certain playstyle, get this certain item, otherwise you don't know what you are doing = noob. By the way, i hate this kind of people most. They arn't accomodating and also they are not really newbie tolerant. I mean everyone has to start somewhere, why not give others a chance to learn.
Next comes the one who can only win, in the context of the game - can kill others but cannot be killed -> otherwise leave game. There are real sore losers. Typical human behaviour that we can really observe, they spoil the whole thing. It like doing a project in a group, the guy just doesn't get it, gives up n throws the rest of the shit to the group.
I cant really think any more behaviours right now, a little shag, but definitely you can see alot more types of people while playing the game.
Most people, especially not playing with friends, only think about themselves, THIS IS HUMAN NATURE. yea its a cruel fact of life. I cannot deny that I'm not, I am a human myself.
It hard to get any teamwork going on a normal game with others. Its hard to find those who can see the end goal of the game than short term rewards like kills.
Then again, if you always think about someone else before you do something, it might be a nice thing to do but does the other person consider you before doing something as well? Who cares about you if you have nothing to their advantage?
It constantly reminds me of the dark side of human nature. People in the society, working next to you or whoever can be that fake. You just do not see it in real life.
One fine day, humans will kill themselves to the brink of extinction but its definitely wouldn't happen in the near future.
Oh yea, if anyone can think of anymore examples, feel free to drop a comment, i'll add them.
P.S. I guess I have too much time spent on thinking. lol
