Thoughts on thoughts.

“If daily consumption is routine consumption, then peak consumption is characterized by  de-routinization….

For consumption to be a peak experience, either the object of consumption or the mode of consumption are new or scarce in daily reality….

Peak consumption is about the romanticization and enjoyment of life.”

- Ning Wang, 2002, The Tourist as Peak Consumer.

 

I wonder, does this apply to humans too? Then how is one supposed to de-routinize oneself?

Psst. I find this brilliantly depressing.

 

 

[edited] I remember watching  yes man! I adored the randomness of the leading couple in deciding things to do. There was this instance when they decided to go on a holiday. They had no idea where they were going, they just packed their bags and got themselves to the airport. Upon reaching, they went to the ticketing counter and asked for the first flight out, and being a dork in physical geography (laugh la korang dua), it was this some weird-sounding place which I can’t remember. It’s cool ok. I’m so gonna do it one day if possible. InsyaAllah. Hehe!
Ah, maybe she’s right. De-routinizing is crucial in enjoying life. Come to think of it, it will definitely do me good after all this mugging. yummy. Just the thought of it is enticing! It gives life to the monotonous period of mugging – it gives a thought to be looked forward to, waiting to be materialized. mmm- mm!
Come darlings, let’s fantasize to de-routinize.  

There you have it! My love-hate relationship with sociology. Chapter 1. Hurhur.
