So, today, I was re-reading my SS notes because I didn't know where I had stopped before because I didn't highlight when reading it for the first time, so I couldn't keep track of how far I'd read. That's the only point of highlighting anyway. That, and because it allows you to forgive yourself when you forget what you've been reading about immediately afterward as there is concrete evidence of you having read it (i.e. highlighting).
(If you think about it, reading and/or highlighting such notes are pointless anyway. They don't tell you anything, and you forget what's the previous sentence is trying to say once you move on to the next. Do I make sense?)
And then, I came across a sentence that I had bracketed - "[A consciousness of an innate vulnerability has promoted a culture of competitiveness through which Singapore has excelled.]" - and added a 'you don't say' behind.
Glad to know that that sentence had previously made sense to me. And I was feeling sardonic enough to comment on it.
At the very least, I know that I've read that bit before.
