Headache Inducing Thoughts...

Now, imagine taking something apart... say a toy car... or a flower. You are pulling it apart little by little until you can't pull it apart anymore... you take the tiniest piece and put it under a powerful microscope and can see that indeed there is more to be torn apart, and you do that again and again... and you think you have it. You think that it can't be taken apart any further... then along comes this brilliant scientist, "I have created a newer and better, more powerful microscope!" He passes it to you and once more you put the tiny piece which you thought was the smallest bit of matter under the microscope and realize that there is much more to tear apart. You keep tearing and you keep tearing but each time you think:" Ah, this must be what the object is made of, the thing all matter is made of, the building block of the world... but... what is it made of?" But each time, endlessly there is something tinier and something more to discover... what is this thing that we, the universe is made of? What is it called? What is it?



Now, begin from yourself. You are standing in a room. The room is in a house. The house is in a neighborhood. The neighborhood is in a town. The town is in a state. The state is in a country. The country is in a continent. The continent is in the Earth. The Earth is in the Solar System. The Solar System is in the Milky Way. The Milky Way is in the universe... What is the universe in???!!



The mystery of the smallest and biggest, is something that might never be solved. In fact it might be better it is not solved, for who knows what horrors such knowledge holds? As the saying goes, 'ignorance is bliss'. But mankind are very odd. Many times they do not run away from horrors, rather they embrace it, even seek for it. Have you ever tried watching a horror movie, and been so scared, yet you were unable to stop watching because you were just so curious? Humans are such creatures that when you try to hide something, even when something is better hidden and secret forever, they insist on discovering. What is it that fuels our odd and terrible desires?

Ha Adam

Figurative use is obvious in the way Adam was described. The formulation used to denote Adam throughout the first three chapters of Genesis is Ha Adam. But that, in Hebrew, is not a personal name at all. It simply means 'the human'. 'Adam' is not used as a given name, to denote a particular individual, until chapter 4. Throughout the stories of the creation and the 'fall', Adam was expressly and deliberately a human. 

- The Selfless Gene: Living with God and Darwin, pg 122

Does this mean that we require a newer and better, more literally translated Bible, as it was so oddly inaccurately translated to the point that generations of Christians have been reading a flawed version???!! O.O This is one interesting book~

Colorful, huh? ^ my blog stats for this week xD

Anyway, before I get off topic, about the 'The Hobbit' film. I am soooo looking forward to it! 
I loved the book, read it when I was uhm... 11, I think. Only, now I think of it, there is not a single sentence that mentions a woman/female talking in the whole book... Accept perhaps the elf lady, I can't remember what's her name, the one played by Cate Blanchett. 
Yup, this movie is solely a male's acting haven. Now, I hope Peter Jackson makes up for the lack of women in the film by hooking some hot men as the actors. Unless he changes the storyline a bit and makes one of the dwarfs a woman. But nooooo, it would totally spoil the film. I beg of him to stay as true to the story as possible, as was the case of the Lord of the Rings film. 

I say, I hope there's no more ham and haw regarding the film. 
Hmm... I dunno what happened to the United Arab Emirates in my blog stats. It looks odd on my blog.

Marathon

You know in church the speakers seem to love making marathons seem like life. I seem to have caught the same sort of disease from them... PMR... a three year marathon? Are you thinking I'm obsessed? Are you? Uh-uh. Don't lie. I saw the ghost of that thought fly past just now. Huh, what? Are you still denying it? Gimme a break. Anyway, I feel a sense of *gasp* relief!!!! RELIEF! Blissful relief that that dratted test is coming. Finally. I admit maybe I'm not so ready, but really, how long can you stand sitting around doing NOTHING but STUDYING??? Who? Erm... Ngai? Six hour tuition... now THAT is a marathon... Anyways... bring it on. This holiday's gonna be full of words, exercises, books, paper, erasers, crosses and frustration.

A Run Down of the First Half of the Year.

The first half of the year has come and gone. It feels like it was only just yesterday that I was looking at the calender and going "Cheah, PMR so far away, later then study lah." T^T I regret saying that. Now, time is precious, there is a limited supply of it. I am starting to feel all worked up on how I've wasted all that time. I really must practice some self control and discipline (LOTS of it) and start trying to make time. It is possible, though it makes you real sleepy. This holidays is the last chance I have to study properly for my exams and I really have to be serious if I want to get straight A's. It is unfortunate that we have to study language. Sometimes I wander why God had to make things so difficult for us. Why didn't he give us a single universal language? Life would be so much easier than.

It hasn't been such good first half of the year, i will list these down in no order, just with numbers so it's easier to jot them down.

  1. Manchester United LOST to the EPL to Chelsea by ONE point. (CAN YOU BEAT THOSE BLUE CLOWNS????)
  2. For the first time ever, I got a B for Sejarah... It felt like i had failed...
  3. Megan Fox OUT of Transformers... NOOOOOOOO.....
  4. It just wasn't so peaceful in the house this year.
  5. I MISSED SO MANY GREAT MOVIES!!!!!! But I've forgotten some of them already... I wanted to watch Ironman 2, Shrek Forever, Prince of Persia, so many I've forgotten them...
  6. I wish I didn't suddenly have feel stressed out of the blue for no reason other than exams.
  7. I really wish we didn't have so many problems.

But there are things to be happy about too.
  1. I got such GREAT friends... I can't list them out 'cause I might forget to list one of them and it might cause a misunderstanding. You can't blame me. I don't have much memory left in my tiny brain, it's full of PMR facts and i have to leave some space for even more facts. Perhaps it's time to purchase another 10 GB pendrive?
  2. I get to watch KYO KARA MAOH!!! GREAT comedy, GREAT story and GREAT guys =)
  3. Konrad's looks + [(Gwyndel's + Wolfram's) AWESOME personalities] = MY PERFECT GUY =D
  4. Thank goodness debate is over and out... 
For the year before us, there are things to hope for =)

  1. WORLD CUP!!!! GERMANY GOGOGOGOGOGO GOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!
  2. After PMR ...T^T but first, PMR....
  3. My FRIENDS
  4. KYO KARA MAOH!!!!!
  5. A happier time? Less problems?
  6. Studying... BE ENTHUSIASTIC, MAN!!!!
  7. I'm a MAN =D
  8. ? If I could predict everything, Life would be BORING.
Anyway, that's all for now. Wish me Good Luck. Wish YOU Good Luck, Wish Us all Good Luck, Don't we all need it? God Bless You All, have a BRILLIANT, FASCINATING, MARVELOUS second half of 2010.

Odd Feelings

I like this picture, though i'm not sure why. When I face other people, I get feelings, but I don't really understand them. Sometimes, I get all numb and stop feeling anything! I don't know how i do it, but sometimes it happens. It is odd to hear of other people getting crushes and feeling so happy and all woozy when ever they see the person they like. What sort of feeling is that??? I thought I would understand as i got older, but it just made me feel more confused.

There are a lot of things I want to do that I can't do. There isn't time or there isn't money, these are two precious things that one can never have enough of. I really wish that I had it all, but what is the use of living if not to discover yourself? Life is not all about enjoying, it will taste bitter sometime. It's sweetness is laced with a deadly venom, likely to send you into a fantasy world that doesn't exist. When the bitterness comes, it hits you like a sledgehammer, maybe it will kill you.
