I had my sociology project presentation today and this theory of symbolic interactionism is still fresh in my mind. Basically it's something that we attach meanings to symbols. It may not mean something in the first place, but us humans begin to add a meaning to it.
Every year when Valentine's Day is around the corner, I would think about Istanbul. It seems that I have attached a meaning to that Europe-Asia state. Just 2 years ago, I had my V Day in that wonderful place visiting the mosques, experiencing the wet snow(super cold!) and shopping at the arcardes with Malcolm and his classmate, Jian Nong. Boy, I had a ball of a time!
Not forgetting the unsightly view of 2 Turkish cats mating in the middle of nowhere for all to see! Hehe.
Yes, all of us have attached a meaning to 14th Feb yearly. Some may be recalling their first love, some may be thinking about all those red roses and chocolates to be given away to their loved ones (friends and family). Well for me, I would just think of Istanbul and EXAMS :( I guess my rate of studying is really slow for now, but at least something is happening :) And the reason why I am blogging now is because this would be the last time until the 25th!! Woo! A long time, I must say...
I was just wondering... "When will I attach another meaning to Valentine's Day?"
